When covering up-and-coming indie artists, it can get a little confusing regarding an album’s “official” release date. While Dangerous Ponies already had a release party for their latest self-titled full-length in October at Philly AIDS Thrift, we recently received a press release from their new PR peeps (Team Clermont) about the “official” release of their LP happening today. They’ll be embarking on a massive two-month U.S. Spring Tour in support of the album. It also looks like fellow Puck Rock Payroll labelmates The Extraordinaires finally have some new material available. Well, according to their booking agent Monika Julien, there wasn’t really an official release date for their new EP The Post Card, except talks about them celebrating on bassist Matt Gibson’s birthday (March 11). But according to Team Clermont’s website, the EP’s “official” release date is actually also today. (The Extraordinaires are currently on tour in the south after roaming through the western part of the U.S. with a recent stop in Austin for a bunch of SXSW showcases.) Go out and grab both Punk Rock Payroll releases! We also have tracks from their latest efforts for you to check out below. Enjoy! – The Deli Staff
