Hollerado’s Record in a Bag has been rocking my iPod for the past year, ever since the band released it as free download in January 2009. Now, the album will finally be able to rock my turntable as well, since the group will be releasing it in physical formats on January 9.
I’m guessing this release has something to do with the fact that the band recently won $250,000 in a battle of the bands contest (which I wrote a news story about for Exclaim!). The band’s rapidly-growing profile is boosted by its outrageous touring schedule, which has included a South American jaunt plus two trips to China. Of course It also helps that Record in a Bag is one of the best power pop albums I’ve ever heard.
Click below to download the new single “Juliette,” which is propelled by buoyant electric riffs and an unforgettable chorus that will be your stuck in your head for a week. Which is pretty much the same thing you could say about any track on Record in a Bag.

Just saw them at Le Divan Orange on saturday (they’re playing there every Saturday for the whole month), and it was pretty spectacular. They played some new stuff too (even a song they wrote the day before and didn’t even have lyrics yet).
