We here at StS were sent some exciting news. Independent band SCOUT has started a new Kickstarter campaign for their next CD! We are happy to share the information with our readers and spread the word.
Below is what we received from the band:
We are so excited to announce the launch of SCOUT’s “All Those Relays” Kickstarter campaign.
As you may know, Ash and Steve have been in the studio with Jim Eno (Spoon)
putting the finishing touches on SCOUT’s anticipated new CD, “All Those Relays,” due out this summer… but we need your help.
Since we are completely independent, funds are needed to finish the record and
get it out to you! So we started a Kickstarter campaign you can visit at
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/380636681/scouts-all-those-relays-fund.
Every cent raised will go towards the mastering, manufacturing and marketing of
the new record.
We have put together a list of special and unique items you will receive in
return for your pledges, so choose your reward (or rewards), and help us reach
our goal and continue making music. We can’t do it without you!
Remember… we only get the funds if all $5,000 of it is pledged, so please
spread the word!
Thank you for your support!

For those of you who don’t know SCOUT:
SCOUT is an indie band from NYC fronted by talented singer/guitarist Ashen Keilyn.
Edgy, but not afraid to be vulnerable, Scout’s music has received many accolades through the years. Their songs have been featured in many film and television projects, and you may also have heard Ashen’s distinctive voice featured on many national commercials.
Currently Ash and bandmate Steve Schiltz (Hurricane Bells/Longwave) have been in the studio with Jim Eno (Spoon) putting the finishing touches on their anticipated new CD, “All Those Relays,” due out this summer.
