It always makes us cringe when a band we like (or any band, really) chooses to premiere their music through the WSJ (is there anything less rock’n’roll than a newspaper with a biased, now consistently far right opinion section?), but our love for Pearl and the Beard goes beyond that. The unstoppable Brooklyn trio has just released their new album "Again Animal," which, judging from single "You" (streaming), develops the band’s folky sound in a more driven and rock’n’roll direction. They will also be touring the west coast with another unstoppable NY lady, Ani Di Franco.
