Minus the Bear is excited to announce the release of “Acoustics,” an exclusive seven-track EP, available from Suicide Squeeze in a limited edition run. “Acoustics,” couples newly recorded acoustic versions of fan favorites from the Seattle quintet’s prolific career with a new track, entitled, “Guns & Ammo.” Originally released as a tour-only CD – during the band’s 2008 headlining tour – this is the first time “Acoustics” will be available on vinyl, in stores, anywhere. Limited to 5000 copies pressed to baby-blue/crème wax.
