Aug 24	New Release: DORENA "About Everything And More" (8 Songs) A leading light from the Nordic post-rock scene, DORENA evokes both captivating delight and sonic wonder through epic soundscapes and blissfully inventive, near-pop anthems. On their sophomore release, About Everything And More, they flawlessly fuse ice-tinged atmospherics, entrancing melodies and sparse vocals with limited quiet/loud mechanics to create music that doesn't ask for your full attention...it claims it. The album transports the listener to a euphoric dimension, a realm where you get the feeling that something glorious perseveres in the end. It encapsulates you, rising above being mere sound and becomes something you can almost feel. From its moments of dramatic intensity to its isolated ambience, this is more than just a startlingly beautiful record...it's a force to be reckoned with. For Fans Of: Moonlit Sailor, Last Lungs, Sigur Ros, The Appleseed Cast, Moving Mountains, Goonies Never Say Die. (DER-508)

Aug 03	New Release: LAST LUNGS "Look At That Old Grizzly Bear" (10 Songs) A meticulous merger of glistening beauty and glaring power, LAST LUNGS glows on their debut with a sprawling display of melody, mood and superior sonic craftsmanship. Like a grizzly walking ever so gently through the forest knowing it can exert tremendous force at will, the album alternates unpredictably between explosive intensity and sparkling serenity...whispering and screaming, all without words. The flawless flow of soaring guitars and storming soundscapes aside, it's really Last Lungs' keen ability to know just when to punch in and pull back that undoubtedly casts an anchor for this band on the modern instrumental stage. Look At That Old Grizzly Bear is elegantly epic, sweepingly cinematic music that always pays off. Go get your headphones. Produced and engineered by Chris Fielding at Foel Studios (The Fall, My Bloody Valentine, Latitudes). For Fans Of: Moonlit Sailor, The Appleseed Cast, Moving Mountains, Goonies Never Say Die, This Will Destroy You. (DER-509)

View	Laurence and Simon of MyPassion give us their take on "127 La Brea" off THIS DRAMA's new album "Tarantula Mata" available now!
View	New Release: THIS DRAMA "Tarantula Mata" (7 Songs) THIS DRAMA hails from the Canary Islands, but these aren't sunshine-soaked tourist tunes. Produced by The Bronx guitarist Joby Ford, who is known for his proficiency at translating ferocity to tape, Tarantula Mata is a relentless yet slitheringly seductive presentation of pure punk rock. Glorious. Furious. Uncompromising. Laced with hardcore tinges and a hint of late 80's gutter, it's the type of music you see described as Punk 'n' Roll on gig flyers. And this is what This Drama do. One part conventional instrumentation and one part spaztastic attack, a dual theme of familiarity and surprise propel this red hot set of seven songs with a distinctive blend of Spanish and English lyrics. "Obsessively influenced by the spirit and the brawn of early SoCal punk rock scene, we've delivered a high-energy album fueled by urgency and intensity that feels, sounds and smells just like THIS DRAMA should" says lead vocalist Asdrubal Marichal. With roaring rock riffs, pummeling drums, jarring tempo shifts, a palette of powerchords and venom-spitting vocals, This Drama lays it all out there and the payoff is huge. This record works...wonders. (DER-506)

View	New Release: CARLY COMANDO "One Take" (10 Songs) Chilling. Stirring. Powerful. Contemplative. These are some of the words most frequently used to describe the achingly beautiful piano instrumentals of CARLY COMANDO. Her debut album One Take features ten delicately woven songs (including her single "Everday") that are the direct emotional output of her innermost thoughts. "The album means the world to me. It's complete, in-the-moment sincerity translated into moody solo piano music. I used an improv technique, recording in just one take, so I could capture the essence of pure emotion" says Carly. From the rises and falls to the shrinks and swells, these songs will leave an indellible impression on your mind. It's music that stays with you forever. Carly's ballad "Everyday" is well known as the score to viral video "Noah Takes a Photo of Himself Every Day For 6 Years" which has been viewed 16,000,000 times on YouTube alone. It has been featured on CBS News, Good Morning America, VH1's 40 Greatest Internet Superstars and was spoofed on The Simpsons' episode "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind." "Everyday" currently serves as the score to Amnesty International's "Death to the Death Penalty" ad campaign. (DER-510)

View	New Release: MUCKAFURGASON "The Pink Album" (14 Songs) Muckafurgason plays everything from rap ("MC Speller") to pop ("Dictionary") to rock ("Part-Time Rock Star") to punk ("Liar")...and that's just the first four songs on their second full-length The Pink Album. Produced by John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants, the album is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to anything and everything, leaving no era of the radio untouched. All of the Mucka boys sing and they literally rotate instruments like musical chairs. These cynical savants fear no style or instrument, exploring more musical territory in a single album than most bands do in a lifetime. "We're bi-curious when it comes to genres, we dabble in everything" says Jon Lee (also co-creator of tv series Delocated, Xavier: Renegade Angel and Wonder Showzen) when asked about the band's modus operandi. Whether they're panning a genre or astutely emulating its style, you'll be impressed by Muckafurgason's uncanny ability to pull it off with flair and finesse. So loosen your tie, prepare a grin and enjoy this quirky, smart and sarcastic journey through Genreville. For Fans of: Moldy Peaches, Ween, Atom And His Package, They Might Be Giants.

View	New Review posted for RIDE YOUR BIKE "The Connection" by go211 "Endless hooks, dynamic pop sensibilities, and sing-a-long choruses. Heartfelt and melodic indie-rock like Saves The Day or The Get Up Kids."
View	New Release: RIDE YOUR BIKE "The Connection" (6 Songs) Ride Your Bike's narrative sensibility and songwriting ability is innovative, unique and simply unforgettable. On The Connection, frontman Mike Getches boldly rejects pop's routine formula, seizing instead the genre's affinity for melody and injecting it with unpredictability and whimsy. Getches' voice is warm, soaring but tempered with fragility. But unlike so many bands, Ride Your Bike avoids overwrought emotionalism, instead creating indie anthems peppered with unusual instrumentation like strings, horns and gang vocals. The Connection overflows with catchy hooks and airtight sing-along choruses, proving Getches to be a true pop craftsman with more than a few eye-opening tricks up his sleeve.

View	New Review posted for LES SAGES "Share This" by go211 "Brimming with melody and powerful harmony, Les Sages have delivered one of the most exciting discs in indie rock this year..."
View	New Release: LES SAGES "Share This" (11 Songs) Listen to any song on Share This and stop there. You won't, you can't...it's just that good. Whether LES SAGES' message is about rethinking boundaries, sacrificing for a better future, being a true friend or taking action, Les Sages' theme of positivity and self-exploration rings clear. And while other bands use studio tricks to produce gorgeous harmonies, counterpoints and melodies like those you'll hear on Share This, this band of four brothers does it authentically with a combination of four separate, sincere voices and poetic yet biting lyrics. For Fans Of: Brand New, Death Cab for Cutie, Say Anything, Starting Line, Taking Back Sunday. If this album doesn't speak to you, none will.
