Allentown noise rock/punk outfit Tile joined us for a Rooftop Session on top of the Cigar Factory building in Allentown in June 2018. The band is made up of Michael Morekin on guitar/vocals, Ray Gurz on bass/vocals, and Michael Dumoff on drums. You may recognize Gurz and Dumoff from our Bad American Shards Session released in August 2017. The trio joined us as they prepared to release their new album Come On Home, Stranger on August 17, 2018 on Limited Appeal Records and embark on a tour across the country.
