The name may sound unfamiliar to some of you, however, you should become acquainted with him. Jim McTurnan ‘s old band, Cat-A-Tac is no longer an item and he is finding out how life is with an entirely new band and putting together his solo-project. After reading who was behind the switches on his Myspace page, my interest was piqued immediately. After listening to the new material, I can firmly state that the wait for the new album to drop is going to be a long one and eagerly anticipated one.

From the horse’s mouth:
Jim McTurnan is now doing some solo stuff, post CAT-A-TAC, with a new band and a new record on the way.
The songs here were recorded over 3 days in late Feb 2009, after only being a band for about 6 weeks. The songs were mixed by Jason Martin (Cold War Kids, Page France, Starflyer 59) during March 2009. More good stuff to come…
