Greetings to 2026! We’ve got a great new album for you, and we are trying to figure out how to best navigate the release in the ever changing realities of the music industry, social media platforms, streaming platforms, etc.
The album is a collaboration with exceptional guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Fielder (Mark Lanegan of Queens of the Stone Age and Kurt Cobain, Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses, Indigo Girls, Bo Didley, Niko Case, etc), and our long time high demand drummer, Jeff Gall. The album was mixed by Grammy nominated Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains), and mastered by Ed Brooks (REM, Fleet Foxes, Death Cab for Cutie, Pearl Jam, The Head and the Heart). We are very happy with how it turned out, so we are excited to get it out!
In the meantime, we are playing occasional shows in the USA and EU, filming videos and social media content, and booking a Fall 2026 tour for Europe.
And, we’ve still got the last album for you, Mike Spine and The Underground All-Star Band, “Guided by Love” featuring members of Nirvana, David Byrne, Cat Power, Mark Lanegan, Indigo Girls, Decemberists, Eels, She & Him, M. Ward, Dandy Warhols, Kenny Rogers, KD Lang, Neko Case and Laura Veirs. A collaboration of musicians from Seattle, Portland and Italy.
— “His songs immediately reach the heart, with lyrics that reflect life and open sincere windows on the real world.” (Rockerilla, ITALY).
— “A well-crafted set of often-politically charged folk-rock combining lyrics of struggle and solidarity with accompaniment by an impressive supporting cast.” (Music Director, KEXP FM, USA).
It’s available on beautiful 155 gram vinyl, compact disc, and digitally! Available here:
