Local band Army of Me are in the process of signing with Atlantic Records, the label Bloc Party and Bjork (among others) call home. They’ve been gaining a strong following in the D.C. area and beyond, thanks to tireless gigging and promotion over the past 7 years or so. The boys leave on February 6 to start recording their new album, bidding farewell to D.C. Congratulations to local guys done good; we’ll always remember where you started.
