Nova Mob - The Last Days of Pompeii (Reissue)

I am very excited about the recent reissue of Nova Mob's album The Last Days of Pompeii.  Grant Hart's debut album with Nova Mob is a great one and it's been getting harder and harder to find.


The Former Husker Du drummer, songwriter, and co-vocalist, Grant Hart will embark on a short tour of the mid-Atlantic and southeastern regions of the U.S. in December and January to support of the reissue of the long-out-of-print 1991 album.

Free Album Download: Guards - S/T

Bandcamp has the Guards self-titled EP available for free download here:  http://guards.bandcamp.com/album/guards-ep .  I would definitely reccomend Don't Wake the Dead and Resolution of One.  They are both great tracks.
