*Cleveland rockers, Coffinberry, are hard at work on the follow up to 2007’s most excellent release, God Dam Dogs. According to DX Ferris at the Cleveland Scene, the new album will feature a more expansive sound than God Dam Dogs’, rugged guitar attack. Also of note, the band recently ended their contract with Baltimore’s Morphius Records, and are currently searching for a label. Still, a Spring release is not out of the question. You can hear some of the new recordings now at Myspace.

*Cleveland’s Exit Stencil Records have announced the signing of Oberlin instrumental rock quartet, Like Bells. A debut full length will be out this Spring, followed by a summer tour. Keep your eyes on the concert listings for a soon to be announced Cleveland date.
