WI reggae-rockers T.U.G.G. are pleased to announce they will be releasing a new EP, and to celebrate, the band put together a promo video premiering their new song “So Good.” The band says:
In the fall of 2011 TUGG wrote, recorded, and produced their latest EP, “Home Brew”. As the title would suggest the band took on every aspect of crafting this record. After many long hours, re-takes, mixes, beers, debates, cheers, and all around craziness the end product is “Home Brew”: A 5 song journey that dives into the roots and foundation of a sound for which the band has worked so effortlessly to hone in the past 3 years on the road playing with their contemporaries & idols within the alternative reggae genre.
So, from the TUGG HQ holding tanks straight to your ears we’re very excited to announce that the new EP, “Home Brew” will be available everywhere music is sold online Tuesday December 20th. Look for it on iTunes, Amazon, CdBaby, and many more online retail outlets.
Please enjoy the following video for the new song from the EP, “So Good” which includes footage from the last few years on the road and also from the studio this fall.
