First Aid Kit Premiere Title Track on NPR

First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar by Wichita Recordings

Good things are continuing to happen to these young Swedish sisters, a.k.a. First Aid Kit. They have somehow managed to maintain blogosphere buzz while slowly trickling in to the mainstream for a few years now; it is refreshing to see. We remember Matt's first post about them back in March 2008 (read HERE.) Now, they are on the brink of releasing their sophomore, Jack White-produced LP, The Lion's Roar which drops January 24th on Wichita Recordings. Yesterday, the sisters premiered the title track from their album on NPR's 'All Songs Considered,' which is available above. Soon, the ladies join Lykke Li on a large set of dates in the UK and US taking them in to December. Things are lining up well!

Well, It is important to keep an emergency kit in your home with the essential supplies you and your family may need in case of a disaster or any other emergency. Make sure that the kit is easy to carry in case you must evacuate your home.
