Hey all
    There’s less than 3 days left to preorder our new album, “Rise Like Fire,” by Jake and the Infernal Machine. If you wonder if you will like these recordings, check out the dancing baby.

Order yours here, and it’ll help us get the album professionally mastered. We are only a few hundred dollars short of our fundraising goal.

We’re really excited about the new recordings, which we’ve been working on since November of 2012. We have songs of all different genres, ranging in topic from the Greek Insurrection to gentrification in Boston, to our love for the Charles River. You can hear some early mixes of these new tracks here.

Thanks for the support,
     -Jake
