New Release: “Health is the New Drug”

7-inch vinyl available 2/14/12 via New Fortune Records

Health is the New Drug speaks to this time of organic foods, whole grains, and fitness juxtaposed with ever advancing pharmaceutical compounds, quick fixes, and all sorts of gizmos promising flat bellies and toned arms. Make sure you get your health from the right guy. Say man, you wanna score some health?
