Lee Corey Oswald signs to No Sleep Records and set for new album release in August

May 12, 2014

Portland based indie punk band, Lee Corey Oswald have announced they have signed with No Sleep Records. They are also set to release a new full length album, Regards set for an August 5th release. The band is currently debuting a new song, Progress which features guest vocals from labelmate Ty Vaughn of Broadway Calls. You can preview the new song here: http://blurtonline.com/news/track-premiere-new-lee-corey-oswald/. “This song is about people often thinking that being progressive has to mean being exclusive and narrow minded to other points of view,” explains Corey Ciresi. “This contradicts the meaning of the term “progress,” which means being open to other ways of thought and change, without exclusivity. The title of the album, Regards, is a sort of sardonic reference to the ironic politics of the underground and the term “punk.” Regards was recorded analog on reel to reel tape, capturing the band’s spirit in the moment as they perform each track live to record. “We love the warmness it adds to the sound as well as the rawness that can’t be achieved digitally,” adds Ciresi.
