Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
We're incredibly proud of our brand new studio album, "Big Ideas" - our first full album of new material in seven years - and we really can't wait for you to hear it. 'Big Ideas' will sound immediately familiar but also serves as the ideal introduction for those who are less familiar with the band's music. Four years in the making, the album features ten tracks covering jangling, forthright, radio-ready power pop, rugged, rootsy rockers, moody guitar workouts, and stately ballads - all underpinned by heartfelt, poetic wordplay.

Includes unlimited streaming of Big Ideas via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

The Wynntown Marshals Edinburgh, UK

Formed in Edinburgh in 2007, The Marshals tip their hat to The Jayhawks, Wilco, Drive-By Truckers, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams & Neil Young.

Their sound can loosely be described as ‘country rock' with powerpop hooks, but they love layered guitars, catchy choruses and have an unabashed belief in the power of rock music as a storytelling medium. ... more

Thanks for "Red Kites". Well, the whole album actually. Saw an Uncut magazine review out here in the southern Utah dust and thought I should give it a listen. Glad I did. Jerry Cooney

The Best of Dropkick

I'm biased. I first found Dropkick back in the MySpace heyday. Their jingle-jangle indie pop similarities Teenage Fanclub grabbed me. A good thing. However, these are lazy similarities, but if it sells this for you then you'll LOVE this Best of... Gorgeous tunes, songwriting, playing, production, hooks, melodies, harmonies. I could have picked any song as my fave, in fact my fave isn't even on this compilation. This is a perfect "in"... but now may I suggest the studio LP 'Turning Circles'. dunkie
