Ryan Sunderman, Kevin Unwin, Tom Romeo, Sean Hunter are fairweatherfriend, a shoegaze quartet from Tucson, AZ. Their debut single You And I b/w Fairweather Friend is their business card on biking red vinyl, two gentle songs that will appeal to fans of The Smiths, My Bloody Valentine and The Dears.

Dreampop can turn into navel–gazing self-indulgence of the musicians involved, with the listener left out on his own devices, but fairweatherfriend leaves plenty of room to get into the act of their art.
You And b/w Fairweather Friend is released by Fort Lowell Records on 7 inch biking red vinyl, limited to 500 hand-numbered copies. Comes with a digital download card. MP3s are mastered for digital playback. Vinyl challenged? Look for it at the usual digital outlets. Release date: March 26.
