New psych-boogie, rock n' roll record by Philly's Needle Points produced by Scott McMicken of Dr. Dog

Needle Points is a psych-boogie outfit from Philadelphia formed in 2013. Their music, largely influenced by sixties and seventies vibes, is what punk music would have been if Keith Richards invented it.
Needle Points' first release Bom Tugangu (2013), intended as a collection of 4-track basement demos to book shows with, was met with acclaim locally and even internationally. The album, along with their raucous, face-painted, animal suited, hair-for-days live shows, led them to a record deal with indie label PaperCup Music in 2014.
In the fall of 2014, Needle Points worked with Dr. Dog frontman Scott McMicken on this latest effort Feel Young. The band decided to leave PaperCup and form their own label NeedLove Records on which they'll release the album.
Needle Points, a band of artists, have also always designed and created their own merchandise. Their talents were recently validated when Philadelphia based clothier Free People purchased one of their t-shirt designs. The company will be releasing their Needle Points shirt in department stores and boutiques nationwide this summer. Free People also cited Needle Points as their 'favorite band' in a 2015 blog post, and used their track 'Needlove (City Walls)' in a YouTube commercial featuring model Alena Blohm. Other brands such as Converse, Billabong and Marc Jacobs have also featured Needle Points songs in their work.
They have toured the east coast twice, including shows at Delaware's Firefly Music Festival and Georgia's Savannah Stopover Festival. They have supported bands such as Temples, Dead Meadow, Fat White Family, Sun Club, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and many more. They will be joining mewithoutYou this fall for a month long tour in support of Feel Young.
