We received an email about a new track available for download from Papercuts, titled “You Can Have What You Want,” which was also featured as an NPR song of the day.

Codename benefit concert at UMD for ‘The Mockingbird Foundation’
Despite your greatest beliefs, Knox Road is actually run by people (who we like to think are humane – I know, shocker), and when we hear about music combined with a worthy cause we’re always ready to pounce.
