If you haven't heard the tracks BRASS recorded at Y-Rock On XPN for
Y-Rock's LOCAL TRACKS SESSIONS this is your warning...

The session was recorded back on
May 25 ,2008, and the songs "Covered In Glass", "Creeps", "Separate Bodies", & "Two Skeletons" were played live in our studio by BRASS members Joey, Jason, and Jamie in a rare acoustic performance .

Have you heard the tracks yet from this incredible live performance?!

If not,this here is your chance, because right now you can download the tracks from BRASS' Y-Rock Local Tracks Session for free at the official myspace site of the Y-Rock Philly Local www. myspace. com/YRockOnXPNLocalMusicShow

Don't slack because the tracks are only available for a limited time, and soon those tracks will be pulled from myspace and returned to the Y-Rock archives....

So this is it, your chance to hear the tracks theY-Rock Local Tracks Session recorded by BRASS

Give them a listen, or get the tracks for yourself.

Get on over to the official myspace site of the Y-Rock Philly Local right now.
