"Hailing from right here in B-more, The Courtesy Line, have a crisp indie sound with strong vocals. They have an EP called Needle and Thread which they are apparantly giving away at shows while supplies last."
"Needle and Thread EP" was recorded primarily at Ron Price's home in New Market Maryland. Subsequent recordings were done at Mark's and Wayne's, respectively. Mixing and mastering was done by "The Courtesy Line".

Hey everyone, I hope this finds you all well…
We're excited to announce that the new Meanwhiles record Slow Motion Summer in all it's bleary-eyed, indie-rock glory is now printed, packaged, produced, posted online, and in all ways.. available.
The CD features Alan Weatherhead playing pedal steel guitar and orchestral samples on “Whenever You Need Me,” and Nadine Khouri singing subway-tunnel echoed vocals on “Dreams From the Underground.”
Limited edition, hand painted CDs by Todd Allen, standard CDs in cases, high quality MP3 downloads and free listens available on our myspace page or at Meanwhiles. com through PayPal.
Those of you in NY can pick up a copy this Sunday at Rebar in DUMBO, Brooklyn where Todd and I will be playing an intimate set at 8pm.
Got some good things planned for the near future… videos, tours, collaborations, live MP3s, and new songs begging to be recorded. Check out Meanwhiles. com for details…
Thank you as always. We hope you can take a listen.
“Keep on the sunny side,”
Josh/Meanwhiles
