🇬🇧 THE FAB FOUR MEET THE HAMILTON TWELVE 🇨🇦

Spotted on the counter at Where Heads Meet (150 Ottawa St N)...4 British icons, 12 Hamilton indie legends, and an impossible decision for your turntable:

🎁 Option A: Enter the Where Heads Meet contest to win a FREE classic Beatles album.

💥 Option B: Buy The Sound Of Hamilton Indie Vol. 2 - Explosive Materials right now for $45 and instantly upgrade your home to maximum volume.

⚡️ Option C (The Correct Option): Do both! Enter the contest, buy Vol. 2 - EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS, and leave Ottawa Street as a local legend.

John, Paul, George, and Ringo were PROBABLY not inspired by Steeltown punk and metal... but having Vol. 2 sitting right beside them just feels right.

📍 WHERE TO SHOP: Our 1st online pressing sold out in 24 hours, but physical copies are still hiding in local shops! Drop into Where Heads Meet, enter their Beatles giveaway, and grab one of the remaining copies of Vol. 2 off the counter before they disappear!

2nd Vinyl Pressing pre-orders are also live online via the link in our bio The 905to212. You. Playing NYC.! 🔊💥
