We're in the midst of the most uncertain times the live music scene has ever encountered. The concept of "social distancing" eliminates any opportunity for music fans to gather and watch their favorite bands perform in venues across the country. It's critical that we find ways to support those working in the music industry during this unexpected downtime, and purchasing / streaming new releases is a perfect way to do so.

The Talismen, a four piece jam/rock act out of Montgomery (AL), just released a brand-new, four-song EP titled 'Extra Vehicular Activity'. The new release, which was produced by Kevin Scott (Jimmy Herring & The 5 of 7), is now available on all major online music outlets. The EP features three new originals, as well as a studio cover of Ace Frehley's "New York Groove." Extra Vehicular Activity is the follow up to the band's 2019 debut album, Jar Full of Something, which has amassed just under 200,000 total streams in 12 months. EVA was engineered by Anthony Aparro, mixed by Jason Kingsland, and mastered by Zach Pyles.

"Overall, our experience recording this EP was nothing short of amazing. We have progressed so much as a band over the past year. It means so much to watch ourselves take this next step. We had a blast during our time in the studio, and we were able to make some new friends along the way. Our producer, Kevin Scott, made this a super easy and fun environment to record in. It was a such a valuable experience for us as a band. It was also a nice bonus that there were farm animals right outside of the studio." - Jack Wagstaff (keys/vocals)

"From my years of producing, working with such a great group of talented young musicians was an amazing experience. We're all very proud of this recording, and I'm very excited to see The Talismen's progression arise in today's music scene." - Kevin Scott (Jimmy Herring & The 5 of 7)
