1/3/08 - SPEAKER SPEAKER GETS SOME ATTENTION

With 2007 over people are making their "best of" lists and Speaker Speaker has been included… take a look.

Also, here are a couple early reviews for Speaker Speaker's upcoming release "Call it Off" due out in February:

"… The band (Speaker Speaker) blends the perfect mixture of all things that make up edgier side of Seattle music, making "Call It Off" sound like Nirvana and The Posies are having a battle of the bands inside your stereo… Simply put, this is a must buy for anyone hoping to latch on to Seattle's next big thing before they explode." - Seattle PI

"Speaker Speaker has one speed, and that's full throttle… pumping out songs that make you want to sing-along as you push forward through the crowd. Songs that make you pump your fist and forget about your job, your age and your life for even just two-minutes…" - Hero Hill


12/11/07 - NEW LOOK, SAME GREAT TASTE

Working on a new BBR site... fuck yeah!!


11/29/07 - MORE MUSIC, MORE FUN

We are extremely excited to be releasing two fantastic records at the beginning of 2008.

In January, the project known as City Light will release their debut record. It features well acquainted BBR artist Matthew Shaw creating sounds with Denver Dalley (Statistics, Desaparecidos), Andy Fitts (Airport Cathedral, Aqueduct), and Nick Andre (Gift of Gab, Her Space Holiday). It's an amazing collaboration; if you dig any of the above musicians' work, you will love this. It will be a digital only release with very limited edition physical copies being sold at shows and via the BBR website. Stay tuned for a complete promo page where you can stream the entire record!

In February, Speaker Speaker's long awaited debut full length, Call It Off, hits stores! We could not be more excited to be supporting this release. It's produced by the incomparable J. Robbins at his studio in Baltimore, and features original artwork and layout by Jesse Ledoux (Shins, Pedro the Lion). You can stream the entire record here: (link). In the meantime, check out (possibly) their only show before the big cd release in February @ The Vera Project on 12/7!

That's it for now. Thanks, as always, for all the support.
