Summer is the time of the year that bands tour and collect their winter clothes on the cheap.  It may also be the time to join a touring band or pick up an antique tour bus.  In full bloom, Finch House Records is bearing the heat to bring the goods across the United States, and we’re passing along the coolest bands, scenes, labels that we can find.

First off, we bring you the Lawrence, Kansas based cassette tape label, Solid Melts. I knew something funny was up when I walked into the house of our host, Drew Gibson, of Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk. Navigating between his massive collection of everything analog, we raided his basement dungeon for reverb tanks, tapes, and a summer compilation that the dude is giving away online! Check out Solid Melts’ Summer Compilation 2010: An Empire of Fun.
