One of my favorite parts of this job is checking the site and seeing what’s popped up since the last time I looked. Today, that happened to be a very fresh Alabama Shakes giveaway.

They’re playing Radio City next week, and the giveaway literally just hit the site today, so obviously we had to tell you ASAP. Less time for entries also means slightly better odds for you. Enter to win tickets.
