I don’t know why Boston rockers Cortez aren’t signed to Small Stone, especially with the Roadsaw connection (drummer Jeremy Hemond splits his time in both bands). Their debut EP, Thunder in a Forgotten Town, was killer, they rule live and if their recently-posted re-recording of the track “The High Life” is any indicator, they’re better than ever with Matt Harrington on vocals. They’ve got the song up on their MySpace for you to check out, so have at it. Here’s some PR wire info to accompany:

After a much talked about performance at this years Stoner Hands of Doom festival, Boston stoner rock shamans, Cortez have recorded a brand new version of their much revered track “The High Life.” This marks the first official recording to feature new vocalist, Matt Harrington. Recorded at the infamous New Alliance Studios, the re-recorded track is slated for inclusion on a soon to be disclosed soundtrack.

Currently Cortez is playing select live dates while focusing on preproduction work for their highly anticipated follow-up to Thunder in a Forgotten Town.
