Welcome to the new loudfamily.com music page! Here, you'll find more album tracks, rarities that stay up longer, and eventually, it is hoped, bigger excerpts from concerts and radio broadcasts. Look for the NEW! tag to find the latest! To receive an e-mail notification when new MP3s are added, write to majordomo@smoe.org with subscribe loud-news in the body.

You can buy all of the Loud Family albums at 125 Records. If you're wondering which one to buy first, it is the webmaster's opinion that Plants and Birds is the band's most straight-ahead rock album; Days For Days is the poppiest; and Interbabe Concern is the one that usually gets slapped with the "challenging" label but is, dare we say it, the true masterpiece.
