Post Punk provocateurs Mad Anthony are in a celebratory mood with the imminent release of their excellent debut full-length on Phratry Records. But even as Mad Anthony for this Saturday’s release show at the Southgate House, there is a somber undercurrent. With final tracking done and the mixing process beginning this past March, Mad Anthony was devastated by the news that their acclaimed drummer and dear friend Tony Bryant had taken his own life.  

Post Punk crew Swear Jar celebrates the release of its new long-player 'Cuss' on Phratry Records by giving away CDs at the door Saturday with the price of admission. Though the album's press release states "most people won't like it," fans of old-school, underground, independent Rock and Punk will immediately get what Swear Jar is doing.
