Tenderversion Recordings will be releasing limited 3" CDs from both Audrey and Scraps of Tape in the near future. The Audrey disc will feature two previously unreleased tracks and Scraps will feature a 15-minute epic that was too much to tack onto their most recent album "This is a copy this is a copy". I'm not sure of the release date, but I'll definitely try to track down more than a few copies for resale.

In other Scraps of Tape news, the band is keeping a webdiary while they tour Europe: m/" target=_blank>https://sottourdiary.blogspot.com/
