If you go to www.myspace.com/picastro, there is a cool new feature where you can buy discounted Picastro releases.

 

Check it out! We have finished our split with Nadja (entitled "Fool, Redeemer") and should have a release date soon.  Also, working on another full-length for Polyvinyl with, experimenting a bit more with that one.

 

Happy winter.
