Swings! has swung!

We’ve officially wrapped the new record and it’s off to manufacture this week! Among the various moments of ridiculosity contained therein, these ten new and hard-swinging Coal Train Railroad songs contain vignettes about battling super-villians in your underwear, turning boxes into biospheres, and losing one’s favorite blankie to a hippo. We can’t wait to share them with you in a couple of weeks!

Single copies can be ordered NOW for $10+s/h, plus we’re offering these pre-order specials:

Buddy Bundle: 5 CDs for $40+s/h
Playground Pack: 10 CDs for $70+s/h
The Whole Shebang: Coal Train Railroad debut CD, “Live In Monophonorama” digital EP download, and “Coal Train Railroad Swings!” CD $20+s/h
