Asian Man Records will be releasing a new album from Oakland's Hot Toddies in mid to late 2007. The label says they're influenced by "everyone from the Beach Boys to the Dance Hall Crashers" and that they remind Mike of the latter group, minus the ska.

Tracks from the all-female quartet can be found at their MySpace page.

In label-related news, Mr. Park is offering up anything that AMR has in it's catalog for trade.
