Emusic
Two "BB" albums ("My Mother's Hand" and "100 Grim Reapers"), the newest EP("Hard History: Story of Bruno and His Bingeful Bosom Buddies"), and a new live recording of a show at Vertigo Records in Grand Rapids, Michigan are now being sold through Emusic under the moniker Grand Manor. Our friend, Patrick Lelli, has arranged a new initiative to make our music and some friend's (Breathe Owl Breathe) music available. The intent will be to fund more physical releases later on.
physical copies of the albums are still available here and here.
