Electro Quarterstaff.... Need I say more?!

EQ will grace Private Ear Recording in December for their third release, following up 2006's Gretzky. I had the privilege of being electrocuted first hand last friday night at the Albert Arms where EQ performed with Rebel Yell, Velodrome, and Summer of Legs. I am looking forward to this! Check out this band... SERIOUSLY.
