Last week I headed out to Bessemer City to catch up with
The Menders, whose new album,
Nina, comes out this week. You can check out the band's
newest song, "Pass It On" — scheduled to appear on
Nina's followup — in this video. And head over to Freeman's Pub in Gastonia this Friday at 10 p.m. for
Nina's release party. Oh, and don't miss my story on The Menders in this week's
Creative Loafing, which hits racks all across the Charlotte area on Wednesday, March 15.
