SINCLAIR - PRETTY GIRLS Release Date: 10/27/2014 Label Owner: INgrooves Label: Dangerbird Records Orders Due: 10/2/2014 Genre: Alternative Website(s): http://asinclairmusic.com/ Project Info: Cfg UPC Sel # Title Price Cd Box Lot 10" Vinyl Single 842803011216 DGB112V PRETTY GIRLS [10"] L13 30 SP Pkg Project Overview: -Standard weight 10" black vinyl, single sleeve jacket -First pressing is 1k copies -Download card included A stalwart of Austin indie rock and one of the city's most highly regarded songwriters, Aaron Sinclair has teamed up with Dangerbird Records for the national release of the new album ‘Pretty Girls’ under the moniker A. Sinclair. The 10” vinyl EP arrives October 28 from Dangerbird, the label that launched Fitz and the Tantrums, Silversun Pickups, Sea Wolf and Royal Teeth. A. Sinclair’s recent releases have drawn the attention of press around the country, intrigued by a sound that the Austin Chronicle described as "tensiondriven" with "tight, rough riffs and sharp post-punk lines." SPIN remarked on the underlying feeling of "twitchy paranoia" that permeates Sinclair's songwriting, which Baeble Music described as having a "strung-out urgency." Aaron Sinclair’s rock passport has a number of notable stamps: First Houston, his hometown, where he initially picked up a guitar with friends and considered it to be a reasonable enough vehicle by which to leave. Then it was on to Boston, where Sinclair established himself in the mid-aughts as a member of The Lot Six, the widely-beloved band that grew out of that city’s fertile Tarantulas punk scene, and with whom Sinclair crisscrossed the country for 4 years, building a steady following on the East Coast until it was over in 2006. Meanwhile, Sinclair made a name for himself with his own band Frank Smith, the vehicle through which he explored a rootsier sound while touring, recording, and collaborating with friends like Juliana Hatfield, who released two of the band's albums on her own label. Later that year, Sinclair made the decision to relocate to Austin in his home state of Texas and rebuild first his band and ultimately, himself. With a fresh start, a new band name and a collection of songs that more than validate the impressive display of resolve, A. Sinclair's 'Pretty Girls' is the sound of an artist crashing ahead, unafraid to dig in even harder on being great, even if it means blowing it all up first. Paste praised A. Sinclair's ability “let the music speak for itself” with a sound that can only be described as “full-on rock," while the critics at the UK site The Line of Best Fit were drawn to the combination of "massive guitars" and "boozy vocals," with "swagger, melody and timeless drive.” A. Sinclair will celebrate the vinyl release with a hometown Austin show on October 30th at the Mohawk, and national tour dates will be announced in the coming weeks. Track Listings: 1. Suit Up 2. You Gotta Decide 3. Pretty Girls In Pretty Tights 4. Shiny Things 5. Throwing Up On The Ground 6. Yeah Me Too Marketing Info: TOUR DATES 10/4 - Austin, TX @ ABGB 10/30 - Austin, TX @ The Mohawk A.

Some might not consider St. Louis, Missouri a hotbed for captivating music, yet CHOIR VANDALS are among a new crop of bands from the city challenging such a notion. Their brand of alternative / indie rock caught the attention of many with the release of the impressive Darker Things EP in late 2013 and the momentum hasn't let up since. Soon after their debut surfaced, the band signed with 6131 Records and began crafting what would becoming their sophomore effort At Night, an EP with four songs that all equally merit notice for their great songwriting and brooding catchiness.

Touring planned throughout 2014 and into 2015 - Publicity handled by Brixton Agency - "Fade" is the focus track As soon as 6131 Records heard Springfield, Missouri's DREAM RITUAL they immediately knew they wanted the band to join their roster. Fortunately for the label, this impressive new group agreed and planning quickly began for the release of their debut EP. Clocking in at just over 27 minutes, even calling this six-song collection an EP feels a bit unfair, but DREAM RITUAL manage to demonstrate a powerful grasp on songwriting. Their take on grungy posthardcore sounds remarkably true to the '90s style, yet maintains a vibrant contemporary sensibility. 6131 Records will be releasing the debut, self-titled EP by DREAM RITUAL on 12" vinyl and via digital outlets worldwide on October 28th, 2014.

Noisey surprised everyone by premiering the first single, “Magic Mountain” on July 15. In fact it was the first song The Drums have released in nearly 3 years, marking a return to the two founding core members of Jonny Pierce and Jacob Graham. Spin says “the new single is still guided by that infectious head-bobbery, but the Brooklyn indie-popper's blithe bounce takes on a fervent frenzy.” Baeble noted the prevailing “sheen of gloom and apprehension,” a departure that Paste says “stirs in sounds in all the right ways.” ‘Encyclopedia’ is The Drums’ third full-length album. Emerging from Brooklyn via Florida in 2009, they smashed on the scene with their ‘Summertime!’ EP that led to a spot on the BBC Sound of 2010 shortlist, The ShockWaves NME Tour, and the publication’s Phillip Hall Radar Award. The Drums‘ music often explores the themes of loss, nostalgia, redemption, vulnerability, and love – with critic’s raves embracing both the lyrics and their sonic signature. This time around, they’ve embraced a darker sound while making it as grand and majestic as they please. ‘Encyclopedia’ is full of "magic and surprise while maintaining a serious, more weighty tone throughout," says Jonny. The upcoming LP marks the first time since the ‘Summertime!’ EP that Jacob and Jonny were left to their own devices, without having to ask a soul for approval. The result is an exciting display of personal emotion and unashamed, majestic songwriting style. In September, The Drums hit the road for the first time since the 2012. Track Listings: 1.

What sets this Portland, Oregon band apart though is what they're tapping for influence, reaching deep into the lesser known realms of that decade and extracting elements of infectiously melodramatic pop. Think Silver Scooter, Superdrag, and Knapsack, yet filtered through nearly two decades of collected dust and bargin bin obscurity. Some might call the music HEMINGWAY creates "emo" but to do so relegates their heartfelt creations to something less than genuine and authenticity is something this band has unmistakably. With the release of their debut album, Pretend To Care, HEMINGWAY put forth ten tracks of heart-on-the-sleeve pop goodness that simultaneously feel sunny yet full of melancholy, a dichotomy essential in the most masterful of '90s releases too. Recorded by Jack Shirley (Joyce Manor, Tony Molina, Deafheaven), the sonic quality of Pretend To Care matches the great songwriting contained within. Track Listings: 1. Constellations 2.

Unheard collaborations with Rev. Gary Davis, Sweet Papa Stovepipe, Mable Hillery, and others. * Remastered from Lomax's original tapes Bessie Jones was one of the most popular performers on the 1960s and '70s folk circuit, appearing—usually at the helm of the Georgia Sea Island Singers—at colleges, festivals, the Poor People's March on Washington, and Jimmy Carter's inauguration. "Get In Union" is a collection of her classic recordings with the Singers, combined with many previously unavailable solo and small-group performances captured by Alan Lomax between 1959 and 1966. Alan Lomax first visited the Georgia Sea Island of St. Simons in June of 1935 with folklorist Mary Elizabeth Barnicle and author Zora Neale Hurston. There they met the remarkable Spiritual Singers Society of Coastal Georgia, as the group was then called, and recorded several hours of their songs and dances for the Library of Congress. Returning 25 years later, Lomax found that the Singers were still active, and had been enriched by the addition of Bessie Jones, a South Georgia native with a massive collection of songs going back to the slavery era. Over the next several years, Lomax and Jones worked together to present, promote, and teach Southern black folk song across the country, from nightclubs to elementary schools. "Get In Union" features freshly remastered audio from 24-bit digital transfers of Lomax's original tapes and notes by the Alan Lomax Archive's Nathan Salsburg and Anna Lomax Wood, who accompanied her father on his 1960 recordings of Bessie Jones and the Georgia Sea Island Singers.

Born out of part frustration and part accident, it quickly found its feet as an aggressive verbal onslaught on all that is contrived and connected to the day-to-day hammer of low paid employment and domestic siutations arising from that trap. After a year of working ideas out in both the studio and in live performances, Williamson moved south and took the cause to London for a couple of years and trod the boards there for a couple of years, before returning to Nottingham in 2009. Soon after that return he met Andrew Fearn and the Sleaford Mods became a duo. Fearn’s first work was on the production of “Wank” – the Mods’ fifth CD album. Soon after that started stalking the stage and studio with Williamson. Andrew’s involvement meant that Jason was now able to stop creating the samples and loops that littered the early recordings and concentrate on the lyrics, whilst Andrew created numerous tunes for Jason to vent his spleen over. Just after the release of “Wank” the duo were invited to play a three day festival curated by Nottingham’s Rammel Club. During that weekend a working relationship with Nottingham’s abstract-punk Harbinger Sound label was formed. A relationship which – a year later – resulted in the release of the “Austerity Dogs” vinyl album. This release would be followed by numerous shows around the UK and Europe, including further festival appearances. As word- of-mouth praise for the album slowly spread out and onto the record-buying publics’ radar, “Austerity Dogs” soon sold out of its intial run of 300 copies and has gone one to, as of today, a fourth pressing of the vinyl edition and a CD version was also released. Rave reviews would start to appear in magazines as diverse as The Wire and Uncut, along with interviews being published both on paper and on-line, both here and abroad. The album featured, and topped, many writers polls for the best records of 2013. Somewhere between punk, hiphop and spoken word lie UK duo Sleaford Mods. (They are neither mods, nor from Sleaford. They're from Nottingham.) Jason Williamson spews a tapestry of bile over low-tech, muscular backing by Andrew Fearn, the result is somewhere between The Fall, McClusky, Happy Mondays and John Cooper Clark. The pair have been making music for eight years now but really started to get attention with last year's terrific Austerity Dogs and look to go even wider with the just released Divide and Exit. On it Sleaford Mods are in full rebellion mode. Williamson hold equal contempt for the rich, conservatives, liberals, phonies in general, idiots, "jolly fuckers," etc all via a nonstop torrent of brilliantly, hilariously profane lyrics. At the end of October Ipecac Recordings will be introducing the coolest thing to come out of the UK in a long time. With the release of a compilation from Sleaford Mods titled CHUBBED UP+.

Guercio recorded a few demos and the tracks on the Welcome to Venice (1985) compilation before leaving and moving to Jackson Hole, WY and was replaced by Suicidal Tendencies vocalist Mike Muir. Muir signed them to his independent label "Suicidal Records". In 1987 No Mercy released their first and only album Widespread Bloodshed Love Runs Red, and were about to record their second album with many new songs already written but Clayton and Troy quit. Instead of recruiting new members, Muir decided to "merge" the two bands by having Clark join Suicidal Tendencies. Clark took over much of the songwriting duties for Suicidal, shifting its style more to a melodic thrash metal sound similar to No Mercy's and what would have been No Mercy's second album became Suicidal Tendencies' third album, How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can't Even Smile Today.

Featuring contributions from Joey from Calexico and author Dan Fante -Guano Padano is Alessandro “Asso” Stefana, Zeno De Rossi & Danilo Gallo -Their works have been compared to the greats like Fellini, Leona, Coppola and more -Past collaborations with Gary Lucas, Chris Speed, Bobby Solo and more Americana is a title that echoes loudly through Italian culture as it was originally the title of a controversial literary anthology, edited by Elio Vittorini in the 1940s. The collection included 33 American writers (dating from the early 1800s to the 1930s), all translated by well-known Italian writers and intellectuals, including Cesare Pavese, Eugenio Montale and Alberto Moravia. At the time, Vittorini was unable to publish Americana exactly as he wanted it, as Italy’s pre-war fascist regime refused to tolerate open displays of affection for any foreign cultures other than Germany. Despite such coercion, many Italian intellectuals (including a very young Fernanda Pivano) had shown an interest and actively participated in underground translations of American literature from as early as the 1930s. And, inevitably, Pavese and Vittorini were looked up to as leaders. Curiously, though, neither of these writers had ever visited America in person. So their experience of the New World was filtered through the words of these writers, a fact that naturally made the country seem even more exciting and legendary. Like these past Italian intellectuals, Guano Padano has also fallen under the primitive spell of these American authors and the books they published nearly a century ago. Just like them, they too cannot hide either their admiration and awe of these giants from this mysterious land beyond the Pillars of Hercules. And this admiration is intensified by their love and respect for the Italian intellectuals who defied the fascist state by bringing American literature into Italian culture through their reading, translating and writing (as Pavese wrote in an article in 19472). A move that both betrayed the current fascist culture and helped found the cultural renaissance that was to come. It follows from all this, that the silent guides of Americana’s music are its texts. These words and verses have been stitched together into a musical tapestry that contains all the dark, vibrant colours, characters and landscapes of these books. From the cacti and bloodstained plains of Pavese’s La luna e i falò (The Moon and Bonfires) to the dusty, deserted flatlands and errant knights of Steinbeck’s Tortilla Flat, and across I mari del Sud (South Seas) with their giant, white-clad sailors who continue to weather these waters without ever having the time to savour and to know them. This music has felt the dust that covers the shoulders of Hemingway’s characters. It has suffered the same hunger and experienced the same rage as the black boy, Richard Wright, and followed the hoofprints and scent of Saroyan’s white beast and the wild spotted horses of Faulkner’s early stories. It has dreamed of farms and rabbits with Of Mice and Men’s George and Lenny, endured the homeless roaming of John Fante’s wop emigrants, experienced the life force encapsulated in the epitaphs of Spoon River and heard the deep, rich energy of black spirituals in the pages of Sherwood Anderson’s Ohio. These are the worlds that Guano Padano seeks to capture in its music. It is a vision of a primitive, yet virginal America, that is both fertile and a waste land, and where boundless plains melt into the lurid suburbs of alcoholic towns. This is a land of karstic rivers: a land where the air is full of the scent of dirt and sweat and railroads and freedom. Guano Padano take their spaghetti western/jazz/swing tunes to a new level.
