The follow up to 2010's Bed of Seeds finds Dan Keech back with a revolving cast of musicians in the new Height with Friends album, Rock and Roll. Height leads another charge through the rustic backwoods of the beat-up music industry, marching over every dying leaf and rotting branch to bring forth his own blend of lazer-focused rhymes, infectious hooks, sonic-driven beats, and the simple truth.

Rock and Roll is a few years in the making, and features help from the members of Wye Oak, Mickey Free, King Rhythm, Kevin O' Meara, and more. Height with Friends is coming to a North American city near you in the fall of 2012, setting out on a massive tour with Dan Deacon, Chester Endersby Gwazda, and Alan Resnick.
