Last years “LOST ON THE GLOBE” was one of the best albums to come out of Ottawa in 2008 and next week they are releasing their new 7″ TROPIC OF CANCER (House Party Records) at the Rock and Roll Pizza Party on Thursday May 21st. If free cover, punk music, and cheap tallboys weren’t a good enough reason to make your way to the Oak for the RRPP on a Thursday night, The Visitors just sweetened the deal. They have a new song posted to their myspace player, it rules, check it out.
