I was absolutely floored when The Speedways dropped the new track "Visiting Hours" back in February. It was the band's first new song in nearly two years, and it did not disappoint. If you have been waiting patiently for "Visiting Hours" to come out on record, now is a fine time to make your move. The single (co-released by Stardumb, Beluga, and FOLC Records) has been pressed and will be shipping very soon. The A-side instantly rocketed to the top tier of my list of all-time favorite Speedways songs — and that puts in it some very good company. The track that's new to me here is the B-side, "Now That I Know How." This song channels Tom Petty via The Beatles, and who in the world wouldn't be into that? Lyrically, this is a vintage Matt Julian dissection of a doomed relationship. That guitar riff will really grab you, and Julian's vocal delivery is spot-on as per usual. In some alternate universe where 1979 never ended, this 45 has already gone gold! This is a very strong return for The Speedways, and that bodes well as we await the band's fourth LP due out later this year. Now go order the vinyl while you still can!
