"Friends" showcases alternative rock, hip hop, emo and reggae, an eclectic mix of the West Coast sound from Long Beach superproducers JWD. It's got 16 tracks and in stores now nationwide for only $9.98! The first single "California Grace" from LB SHORTBUS was just featured on the MTV show Laguna Beach. Over 300 college radio stations nationwide are spinning it! But the highlight for many reggae fans is the beautiful HALF PINT track "Never Let Go" which many are commenting "it's so beautiful, that will be our wedding song!" And the JWD feat. TIPPA IRIE track "Factory" is simply incredible, the most original song of the year. For sound samples check out www.JesusWoreDickies.com. For more on the album check out www.ResinMusic.com.
