Thorp has signed Beijing, China's Brain Failure. The street punk band (who were featured in an International Spotlight last year, as well as the recent Give 'Em the Boot compilation) are planning their debut release American Dreamer for release on the label. Produced by Ken Casey of the Dropkick Murphys, the label promises the record to "appeal to fans of Rancid, The Clash, and Stiff Little Fingers."
The record is due out March 29th, and surrounding the release, the band will tour the U.S. in February and March with The Unseen and Ramallah.
