Not forgetting Something Fierce.

From 1983 to 1991 there was a band in Minneapolis called Something Fierce. Drawing from such classic influences as Elvis Costello, R.E.M., and the Beatles, SF made the catchy, brainy, danceable music that others would have success with in later decades. They released six records in a variety of formats, and now most of them are long out of print.

But, for a number of reasons, 2009 was the year for a gigantic reissue. Culling through stacks of nearly worn out board recordings, we've put together the official complete Something Fierce set, pre-ripped to MP3, over nine hours of music (including every studio album) packaged on two data CDs with a 24-page deluxe booklet. It is available now; and can be ordered online for the very reasonable price of $39.99. (We are also able to provide a downloadable file, but because the package is so cool, and we have so many copies, we'll still send you the CD too.)

(And if you aren't already, become a Facebook fan of Something Fierce. We'll send you updates and downloads, and generally keep you in the loop.)




All Something Fierce releases are now available on Bandcamp and Spotify.
