An acoustic release from Minus the Bear sounds like tricky business (much of the band's appeal comes from plugged-in guitar taps and electro fills), but couched as a digital-only EP, Acoustics will probably still be a must-buy for hardcore fans.
The seven-song set leans heavily on the bands newer, less jokey material, but does include fan favorite "We Are Not a Football Team" and new track "Guns & Ammo."
Acoustics will be available for download on 10.07, will a Fall tour kicking off the following day. Sample tracks the new EP at Amazon, and check out the full track list and tour dates after the jump.
Acoutics Track Listing:
1. Guns & Ammo (new track)

I have seen my friend suffer from breast cancer… now she isn’t with us anymore. Let us all together fight against it before others fall prey to it.

Wow! It must sound really strange to listen to them in an acoustic album... Well, that's perfect for me; I always enjoy listening to new stuff, especially if it is strange. Thank you. Great post.
