Pinegrove Release New Live Set

Pinegrove

Pinegrove have released their new live album, Elsewhere, on Bandcamp. It is also available for purchase on cassette tape.

This tour took us across the United States through the days leading up to the 2016 US election, election day, & the aftermath. We felt consequently that it’s an especially good time to do what we can to promote love & equality. As a small gesture of commitment to the cause, this album is available for free or donation, & all profits will be donated to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
