NYC's ism has finished their sophomore disc Urgency, which is coming out on August 5th. The band released the single "Sacred Cows" as an advance track from this disc and have been playing some warm-up shows around town. Urgency is a cohesive vision around the theme of rising above ourselves and making the world a better place.

I had the opportunity to chat with the band about the new disc, the newest member of the band (drummer Mike Higgins), and their plans for 2008.



ism is off on a tour of California this month and will be back in town on August 15th for a show at Bowery Ballroom with Kill The Alarm.
