Kevin Devine and The Front Bottoms have just announced Devinyl Splits No. 12, the final split in the second volume of the Devinyl Split Series. For Devinyl Splits No. 12, The Front Bottoms and Kevin Devine bring to the forefront their long history as friends, tourmates and collaborators by covering classic tracks from each other’s catalogues. The Front Bottoms’ cover of Devine’s “Just Stay,” from his 2006 full-length Put Your Ghost To Rest, can be heard now below.
Devine’s cover of “Rhode Island,” which was originally released on the band’s 2011 debut self-titled LP, will be released later this month. The full-band cover features The Front Bottoms themselves on the recording — and vice versa, Kevin is featured on TFB’s recording of “Just Stay.”
Devinyl Splits No. 12 will be released on March 29th on Bad Timing Records, and in Europe via Big Scary Monsters. Pre-orders for the split are available now.
