This is one of many posts that you'll see in August on this space which will detail what you can win during our After the Jump Fest on August 25 at Studio B.
Not that tough of a call to see Peter Bjorn and John at Maxwell's. I did have to turn down attending Arctic Monkeys and The Coral at Central Park. I'll live. In the meantime, you have ask yourself, are you on Team Peter, Team Bjorn or Team John? We have several copies of Writer's Block to give away at ATJ to help you to decide.
Here's what critics are saying...
"Writer’s Block has announced the renaissance of both pop music and love." -- Stylus Magazine
"By turns brooding and effervescent, but always outrageous fun, Writer's Block is a compact minor classic ." -- NME
"The album is laced with spacey, distorted guitar fuzz, delicate '60s pop melodies, groovy basslines and winsome lyrics that coalesce into a unified group of songs from start to finish." -- Billboard
