New Circa Survive Song for a Good Cause

Progressive rock group Circa Survive (and one of my favorite bands) have posted a b-side from their latest album On Letting Go for purchase via their website. All proceeds from this song will go directly to assisting a local PA record shop Siren Records open a new location; Siren Records has just recently been shut down.

I know what you're thinking, "why help a record store I've never been to, or even live remotely close to?". Just think about if your favorite local music venue got shut down, or if your favorite music blog or message board ceased to exist. I know I'd be bummed. Additionally, with digital music and the interwebs basically destroying the physical retail market for music, it is important to keep those indie music staples around, even if it is only for a little while longer.

The fellas from Circa can explain it better. Donations can range from .99 cents to 100 bucks.

Also with some sweet album artwork from Esao Andrews...
