Apparently, when asked to turn in a debut album to their label, Bucks County, PA band Illinois (yes, the second band-not-from-the-locale-they're-named-after in two days) handed over a hard drive crammed with 114 home recordings. Impressed by the productivity, the band's label +1 Music decided to do something special and announced a six-month-long release schedule for a series of EPs and films that would, as a whole, serve as the band's full-length debut. That project is called The Adventures Of Kid Catastrophe, a tale based around a pseudo-alter-ego of frontman Chris Archibald. We've been given an exclusive track from the third chapter of the series (watch it on YouTube here, the music will hit iTunes next week,) a tightly-arranged Americana jam called "Are You Coming With Me?". There's piano, three or so chords, and Archibald's lyrics about getting someone out of a bad situation, so make sure grab the tune and find out more about Kid Catastrophe at the band's website.

Sounds like: The Low Anthem, Motel Motel, Deer Tick
