Escapist Records (This Time Next Year, Crucified) is pleased to announce the signing and plans to release the new EP from Kent, OH’s Light Years. Just Between Us will be available in both vinyl and digital form in early 2012 through the Cleveland-based label.  The new EP follows up the band’s debut offering This Will Come Back to Haunt Me, which the band self-released in 2010.  All vinyl of Just Between Us will come packaged with digital versions of both EPs.  More details on the release will be announced in the near future.

The songs “To Live and Die” and “Scavengers” from the five-song EP can be streamed online here.

The band will be kicking off a full U.S. tour with Pentimento (Panic Records) on December 27th to promote the upcoming EP with Souvenirs and Maker (6131 Records) appearing on select dates. Following the completion of the tour, the two bands will head overseas for a European run. All dates can be found below.
