We are very excited to debut some new material from Sam Billen for this month’s Song of the Month. He recently took a trip to Tokyo, Japan to visit his in-laws and decided to do some recording while he was there. This EP is a result of his time spent there. Sam has a new full length coming out this fall. I was lucky to be in the studio this weekend while Sam and Max Justus were mixing it and I am still really blown away by the new material. I can’t wait to get it out for all to hear.
This week Sam will be making his return to live shows playing our showcase this Wednesday at Czar Bar with Capybara and Perhapsy. Check out the trailer for the show:

It is very hard and strange to believe that Mike , Rick, and I started this label 6 years ago now. It has been a very wild ride to be sure. Lots of great memories and friends have been made and we have all grown and changed a lot. Our taste has matured and the scene in general has changed. One thing that hasn’t changed is our passion for doing the label. I am as excited today about releasing records as I was when we first started this company. I really want to say a big Thank You to everyone that has made the label what it is today. To all of our friends that helped out and suporrted us by buying records and coming out to shows. And to our Bands we couldn’t have done this with out all your incredible talents. I am very excited to see where TRM is heading and I am sure that it will take all of us in some direction that we don’t know.
Perhapsy is playing this Saturday at the Festival of Faith and Music in Grand Rapids, MI. They will be playing alongside David Bazan, The Hold Steady, Lupe Fiasco, Over the Rhine and many more!. We are very proud to have them be apart of this prestigious festival.
The Culture of Me showed Perhapsy some love this week:
Dense and delicate songs that seem to meander until their end, Ann Arbor-born by way of Mansfield, Ohio Derek Barber aka Perhapsy pours layers upon layers of instruments (from the token guitar, bass and drums, to glockenspiel, saxophone, accordions and keys) in his debut effort, a mostly-instrumental experiment in somberness and hope.
