New Tollbooth Tragedy

Taking a break from their usual bleak, foreboding atmosphere, the Tollbooth Tragedy have lightened up on their new single, "Harming". Featuring the relaxed harmonica stylings of renowned Southern musician C. E. Schramm, the track highlights the diversified palette of sounds we can expect from future "Lumbercore Legends" tracks, while giving the hardcore fans what they want. Check it out at the band's official webpage.

Tollbooth Tragedy is in the house

While I am not a member of the Tollbooth Tragedy, they have left an indelible mark on my life, and definitely for the better. Lead lyricist J. K. Barno's tales of heartbreak and woe in middle-class American suburbia tell the stories of 10 million silent teenagers, each with their heart beating in unison like firecrackers in the bible-black pre-dawn. It is this voice of a generation that makes us fans of the Tollbooth Tragedy (or "The 'Booth", as their followers affectionately refer to them as), live, breathe and sleep for these three young individuals and the heavenly noise that they make.

Where will their stories take us? What characters, what moments frozen in time will Barno next sing of with his celestial voice? One thing remains known: whatever it is, it will be 80 times better than anything Connor Oberst ever imagined he could accomplish.

Stay tuned, kiddies. The future will exceed your wildest dreams and fears.

The start of something bigger than we can hear.

With the start of a project like this. I am brought to reflection. Though overwhelming
feelings of insufficiency often come, I am confident that the tollbooth tragedy will
fulfill all that we hope. There is a certain comfort that comes from doing something
for love. A sky tonight is what we fight...
