“Old-world romance elegantly intertwined with riot grrrl piss and vinegar...” – Venus

Brooklyn-based band The Shondes has launched a nationwide tour in support of the upcoming May 4^th, 2010 release of My Dear One – the band’s second album and first since signing with Fanatic Records.

Already named the “newest lonely hearts epic” by Chris Weingarten in the Village Voice and thought of as possibly “one of the real world's favorite bands of the next decade” by Chris Estey of popular culture website, Three Imaginary Girls, one thing is becoming clear – guys named Chris love The Shondes.

In addition to the previously released MP3s from My Dear One for the rocking title track and the single “Make It Beautiful,” The Shondes are now offering up the album’s tear-jerking ballad, “Nothing Glows” (MP3) as a free promotional download.

In addition to making political art and melding influences as disparate as classical and traditional Jewish music and punk rock, The Shondes work for justice on many public levels, including in queer communities and as Jews fighting for a free Palestine. As the band’s upcoming My Dear One is actually a break-up album, it serves as a more personal reminder that those who fight for what they feel passionately about still suffer heartbreak.
