Free Download Of The Week: Post Animal

Like most bands in Chicago’s inclusive music community, Post Animal got their start playing DIY basements and small rock clubs. Though their live shows have long proven that swirling riffs are the band’s bread-and-butter, it’s earworms like “Ralphie” that show how easily they can churn out an infectious pop melody.  Download “Ralphie” off When I Think Of You In A Castle any time between April 30th, and May 6th and learn more about Post Animal at their official website, like them on facebook, and follow them on twitter.
