This band is very indie at this point, I’d suggest contacting them directly via their website or myspace.
They deserve to be huge. Really a fantastic album.

You can buy it online at CDBaby:

You can also contact Kyle directly. I’m sure he’d be happy to sell you a copy. Both albums are good, so pick ‘em both up while you’re at it.
