Soulful Philly roots rockers Modern Inventors are gearing up to release their debut full-length, Trains and Aeroplanes, later this month. The album is now available for pre-order at Bandcamp, along with name-your-own-price downloads of two songs – “Hello” and “Goodbye Northbrook Drive.” The band is celebrating the release of the album at Johnny Brenda‘s on December 28 with Philly folk ensemble Hezekiah Jones and indie-rockers Shark Tape – a lineup that, in a way, spans both halves of the Inventors’ world. Advance tickets are available here, and fans who buy in advance get a free copy of the album at the show. Below, watch the band perform “These Eyes” for Bands in the Backyard last summer.
