Win vinyl from The Arteries

Earlier this year Paper and Plastick issued The Arteries' new full-length Dead Sea on vinyl and as a better-late-than-never celebration, we're teaming up with the label to give one lucky winner a vinyl prize pack with all three variations of the album. Listen to all three, give/trade the other two with friends, or just file them away and occasionally stare at them--it's your choice if you win!

Click below to enter. Be sure to catch them at The Fest 10 in Gainesville, FL next month.
