: I don't feel as though Small Brown Bike gets enough press for such an amazing band, so here is some news for all of the SBB fans out there, also for the Casket Lottery fans as well. The two bands have recorded a split CD, slated for release very soon. Unlike the recent flood of bands covering each other's songs, these two collaborate in every way possible. Here is the news straight from the band's website: "We received the final mix of the split with The Casket Lottery last week and we couldn't be more excited. First off, we should stop calling it a 'split' right now. This record is a collaboration between the two bands in every sense of the word. Click READ MORE to see the track listing. Speaking of Split EPs (which seem to be raining from the sky lately), No Idea is releasing 2 other splits: One between the Grabass Charlestons and Billy Reese Peters, and the other between Gunmoll and Fifth Hour Hero. I'm not positive that No Idea will be releasing this SBB / CL split however…
