TFL Joins CAUDog Records
That’s right, it’s official. We have signed with Chicago’s own CAU Dog Records! We are currently in the studio with Ellis Clark to produce a new full-length album. There is still a lot left to do, but what we’ve got so far is sounding pretty great (if we do say so ourselves).
We’ll be releasing the new record in mid May. We can’t wait to share it with you.
