New Zealand (Lyttleton Harbour) band The Eastern, led by Adam McGrath, have a new album called The Territory out on October 31st. Here’s an excellent track from it called ‘The Stepping Razor’.

They’ve toured with Steve Earle (twice), the Old Crow Medicine Show (twice) and the Lilʼ Band of Gold as well as opening for everyone from Fleetwood Mac to the Jayhawks to Jimmy Barnes to Justin Townes Earle as well as Jim White, Victoria Williams and Vic Chestnutt. let’s hope they get back over to Australia soon!
