Howdy bab,

We hope you are enjoying the spring weather…it’s been a long winter. Today, we’re firing the starting pistol on Summer by making pre-orders of our new record available. 

“American Portions” is released on 28th May 2021, and we’re really proud of this one. This time, we’re taking on US-based indie and alternative tunes. There are versions of songs by Nirvana, Pixies, REM, Pavement, Dinosaur Jnr, Belly, Queens of the Stone Age..and more. 

You can pre-order digital and CD copies from our Bandcamp store.

We started recording this in March last year, just before the UK went into lockdown for the first time. After that, we had to chip away at it slowly as and when restrictions allowed. A bit here, a bit there. We finally got back into the studio to finish off in October and November (and just before the next lockdown!) 

By the time the record comes out, we hope to be able to play it for you live. 

In the meantime, your support is – as ever – appreciated

Love from,

CHiPs, Randy, Doc, The Swede, Bobby P and DJ.

Just a quick note to let you know about Independent Country’s Ever-Expanding YouTube playlist, which is rolling along as we speak. Each week, one of the IC boys adds a new video to the list, so it grows and it just grows. You can subscribe, too, so you never miss a selection.
