Atlanta's All The Saints are releasing their second album, Fire on Corridor X, this summer. The band, which has been somewhat undervalued during the city's three-year transformation into a relevant base of rocked-focused musical talent, shows the growth an maturity that one would hope one a new band's sophomore effort.

While still a raw around the edges, the band's sound on this album mixes traditional American psychedelic rock with hard-driving Brit-rock. For those who like the comparisons, they are reminiscent of The Black Angels mixed with early-'90's Catherine Wheel.

Tracks are available on the band's MySpace page. The band will be performing on June 20 at Beep Beep and on June 28 at LennyÕs Corndogorama in Atlanta.
