Okay ladies and gentlemen –
We sorta got a little messed up on our timetable and we’re going to give you our November release on October 22nd. This way you can be scared for Halloween because it’s probably pretty darn scary. Or maybe just beautiful. Our November release is “Open the Door“ by Pop Star Devils. Now I don’t know about you but if you see these critters on your front doorstep on Halloween, you may not want to open the door!

Here’s the official bio thingy, as dictated to us by them very Devils themselves:
Pop Star Devils ask, “Who can we trust and do we care?”
Of course we do.
In an exciting and terrifying era, “Open the Door” dares us to embrace fear and laugh at an increasingly strange yet danceable present and future.
Pop Star Devils is a two-piece combo designed for recording popular music. Given the nature of their design, they extend their membership temporarily and exponentially as needed. They arose through the unsolved mystery that is the Mima Mounds, living amongst the pocket gophers, bringing them sacrificial lunch. They recently joined a sizable multiverse and realized the road to nirvana was paved with bone dancing – create an inexplicable groove that mystifies, perplexes, and sanctifies all at the same time. When the mood strikes them and if the time is right, they produce intense cyclic, oscillating vibration. They have done exactly that with their first release. It is almost religion.
Be the DJ. Love the heedless. The “Time of the Devils” is now. Pop Star Devils will help you open the door.

That’s it.
