Cuff the Duke - Side by Side

You may remember my post from a couple days ago on Cuff the Duke's upcoming album, Union. They have just released a "Paper Bag Session" for their new song which is called, Side by Side. You can check out the video for that song below... but this isn't the finished product, the album version will feature Basia Bulat.

Cuff the Duke - Union

When Cuff the Duke released Morning Comes last fall they noted that it was the first part of 2 albums to be released. Today they announced the second half of the project and the album is called Union. Here is what Cuff the Duke has to say about it.

Cuff The Duke is excited to announce details of their new album, Union, which will be released in Canada on October 2nd on Paper Bag Records.  As promised, Union is the second part of a two part album project that stared with the release of Morning Comes late last year.  The two albums relate lyrically and visually. A number of the songs on the new album act as a response to the songs from Morning Comes. Union's 'Rise Above' relates to 'Standing on the Edge' and 'Something For Free' relates to 'Time Is Right'. Basia Bulat guests on album stand-outs 'Side By Side' and 'Stay'.

"On Union, we moved away from our usual-sounding song structures, rock solos and harmonies by adding more sonic textures," says the band's Wayne Petti. "Morning Comes was more acoustic-based, this album is more electric-based. Instead of trying to find the perfect tone, it was more about exploring interesting sounds."

Tracklisting:

1. Live My Life
2. Side By Side
3. Where Did We Go Wrong
4. Open Your Mind
5. Stay
6. Carry On
7. Something For Free
8. All I Want
9. Rise Above
10. Night After Night

Cuff the Duke - Count on Me

Alt-country Canadian group Cuff the Duke is set to release their 5th studio album Morning Comes on October 4th of this year via Paper Bag Records. This band has a really great sound in my opinion... Country music style can be heard throughout their songs, but they stick in enough rock/indie rock elements to keep me interested.

The single Count on Me as well as Standing on the Edge can be both streamed and downloaded from their Facebook Page. You just have to 'Like' them.

If you need more convincing check out this video of Count on Me below.
