Can Joann
Hurt People Hurt People

We were recently in Chapel Hill, N.C. and had the pleasure of discovering some new tuneage from the burgeoning scene there (mmm…Annuals).

After releasing an E.P. in 2005, Can Joann has released a new full-length, Hurt People Hurt People. Recorded in part at Poxworld Empire (Rosebuds, Sames, Schooner) and the rest in a rented 19th century in Chapel Hill farm house, Hurt boasts an extremely solid 9 tracks of rock licks in the vein of Ted Leo and The Rosebuds. It’s Mr. Bojangles meets garage pop minus the Carolinian drawl.

Here are some tracks, and check the band’s Web site for another (plus photo of dogs humping - because, why not?):

Can Joann - “After the Seizure’s Gone”
Can Joann - “Indecision’s Way” (mp3)
