Hot off the press, Minneapolis’ Red Pens are beginning 2010 with a bang, as FMQB has voted Reasons the #1 album on their latest SubModern Report.  This is big news for the local rock duo, since they notably beat out indie mainstays such as Miike Snow, Julian Casablancas (The Strokes), and Metric.  The Red Pens will also be featured on Minnesota Public Radios “All Things Considered” at 4:30PM CST today.  Don’t miss it!
