PHOSPHORESCENTs MATTHEW HOUCK er i ferd med å utvikle seg til
en av de definerende singer/songwriterene i dette tiåret med tre album
pluss WILLIE NELSON-tributen, To Willie, på CV’en. Det er dog først nå, på
brilliante Here’s To Taking It Easy, hans åpenbare talent slår ut i full blomst.
Platen har fått enorm dekning i seriøs musikkpresse og Mojo slår den opp
som månedens album over to sider og påstar at Houck er ”incapable of
taking a wrong turn”. Uncut følger opp med en helside og sammenligner
med midt-70’talls DYLAN, GRAM PARSONS og NEIL YOUNG.
Houck sier det treffende på It’s Hard to be Humble (When You’re from
Alabama): “I ain’t come to stand here for none of this bullshit, man /
I came here to play”. Dette er tidløs rock/americana/country som bør
nå ut til svært, svært mange. 4/5 MOJO 4/5 UNCUT 4/5 Q

Månedens debutalbum i Uncut kommer fra det RYAN OLSON-ledede
indiekollekvtivet GAYNGS. Uncut: ”Relayted sounds like a Mo’Wax album
played by a hairy alt.rock band”. Og nettopp hårvekst er i høyeste grad en
faktor da folk som BON IVERs JUSTIN VERNON og MEGAFAUN bidrar.
Ifølge Olson selv er platens eneste inspirasjon 10CCs I’m Not in Love, mens
Uncut avslutter sin svært treffende anmeldelse med: ”Relayted manages
to be both comfortingly familiar and devastatingly futuristic; both 35 years
old and 10 minutes into the future, the point where Lindsey Buckingham
meets Lil Wayne. It could be the best debut album of 2010”.

Det er ikke hver dag (hvert år/tiår) Sub Pop kikker over Atlanteren når
signeringsblokka er fremme, men jaggu har de ikke greid å signere et
vaskeekte britisk band i Londons MALE BONDING. Bandet kommer fra
hipstermiljøet i Dalston og Shoreditch, men henter hoveddelen av sin
inspirasjon fra Sub Pops side av storhavet; HÜSKER DÜ og BLACK FLAG
høres, det samme gjør DINOSAUR JR og shoegazere som SLINT,
eller som Mojo sier: ”…a poppier No Age”. Låter som Weird Feelings
og førstesinglen Year’s Not Long er, uansett inspirasjon, rene innertiere,
og all Vans-bekledd ungdom bør sporenstreks rulle longboardet sitt
ned til nærmeste platedealer.

rapperen leverer her et album der både tekster og musikk er preget av noe så kontroversielt som intelligens og humor, uten at noen bør føle seg fremmedgjort! Det er
fremdeles veldig fengende, og låtene har blitt tilføyd nye dimensjoner, takket være
samarbeidspartnere som JASON LYTLE (GRANDADDY), CALEXICO, CHRIS WALLA
(DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE), JIM BECKER og TIM RUTILI (begge CALIFONE), MARK
LINKOUS (SPARKLEHORSE) m.fl. samt produsent BRIAN DECK (MODEST MOUSE,

INDIAN JEWELRY steg opp fra Houstons undergrunnsscene tidlig på 2000tallet, og de har siden gitt ut to vellykkede plater på We Are Free (som også ga
ut Yeasayer-debuten og Ponytail). Bandmedlemmene Erika Thrasher og
Tex Kerschen sier følgende om Totaled: “the sum of hundreds of shows on the
road and hundreds of hours under headphones.” De har også hentet funkelementet
fra Prince-coverbandet sitt, Diamond + Pearls, et element som gynger deilig
under deres sjamanistiske lo-fi-støy.

Danske PRETTY MAIDS ble dannet allerede i 1982, og regnes som Danmarks
største hardrock-eksport gjennom tidende. Vi har ventet 4 år på bandets nye album,
Pandemonium, men snakk om album som har vært verdt ventetiden! Bandet har gått
tilbake til det soundet de benyttet på klassikerne Red Hot & Heavy og Future World,
og de 11 låtene her er akkurat så sterke som man kunne håpet på, og vel så det!

Wintersleep spent two years touring the world in support of their last album Welcome to the Night
Sky, picking up a Juno Award back home in Canada for Best New Band and playing with the likes of
White Lies, Editors and the Maccabees along the way. Unavoidable on UK radio, whether it was with
storming live favourite, “Oblivion” or the festivalhit-in-waiting “Weighty Ghost”. They did sessions for Zane
Lowe at Radio 1, 6 Music, and XFM with platitudes heaped upon them from the likes of Mojo, Q, NME,
Rock Sound, Clash, The Fly and The Word. Lesser bands would have followed up this success with a
simple rewrite.. if it ain’t broke…instead, Wintersleep have chosen to make some of the most expansive,
dynamic, dark and courageous rock music you’ll hear this year. There’s a lot of time to kill when you play
over 200 shows a year and Wintersleep have used it to their advantage. Quality time spent devouring
work by the likes of Hank Williams, Jorge Luis Borges, Nathanial Hawthorne, Flannery O’Connor and
Karen Dalton, in between understanding the dynamics of sound in a tiny space as well as the power of a
10,000 capacity room. While their lyrics to date have focused on the personal, the songs on New Inheritors
tend towards a bigger worldview. The narrator is a voyeur, commenting on situations rather than being
in the situation itself. Without a doubt, a much more brooding, shadowy record, at times the lyrics verge
on the intentionally indecipherable - check the pre-chorus to “Blood Collection” - suggesting a menacing,
indefinable figure. Moments and memories are alluded to across multiple songs and overarching themes
of alienation and despondency crop up repeatedly. But make no mistake this is not a miserable record,
from album opener, ‘Experience The Jewel’ to the closer ‘Baltic’, New Inheritors is an album of rousing, inspirational rock songs. Recorded in Montreal and mixed in Glasgow with Tony Doogan (Mogwai,
Malcolm Middleton, Dirty Pretty Things, Teenage Fanclub, The Delgados), Wintersleep’s sound is more
expansive, less distorted and more cerebral. For the first time, the band opted to work with both a brass
and string arranger on some songs, but rather than overpower with swathes of violins and trumpets, they
form a core part of each track rather than an awkward add-on. You may have felt like you had Wintersleep
pegged and pigeonholed but this record will undoubtedly sweep away any misconceptions and win over
a huge new audience. You may have thought you knew exactly what this record would sound like before
you clicked play or dropped a needle. But you definitely will not have been expecting this.

Since arriving in Los Angeles, AUDRA MAE has landed a publishing deal with Warner
Chappell, a TV placement singing BOB DYLAN’s Forever Young on the FX series Sons of
Anarchy, a record deal with SideOneDummy Records, and in late 2009, co-wrote Who I
Was Born to Be, the only original track on SUSAN BOYLE’s chart-topping, 9 million-selling
I Dreamed a Dream album. It has turned out to be a dream come true for the 25-year-old
singer-songwriter from Oklahoma.
Growing up, show business was in AUDRA MAE’s blood. She is the great grand niece of
the late JUDY GARLAND and her grandmother turned her on to country and folk artists like
PATSY CLINE, DOLLY PARTON and WOODY GUTHRIE, while her grandfather introduced
her to jazz.
AUDRA MAE is a natural without a doubt. The Happiest Lamb, produced by TED HUTT
(THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM) spotlights MAE’s incredible voice and her songs are timeless
affairs augmented with minimal accompaniment, including acoustic guitar, piano, mandolin
and sometimes mournful accordions.
AUDRA will be on the road supporting The Happiest Lamb for the remainder of 2010.

THE BLACK KEYS release their sixth full-length album, entitled “BROTHERSˇ, on 17th
May on V2 / Cooperative Music… Recorded at Alabama’s legendary Muscle Shoals
Sound with additional sessions at Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound System in Akron and
the Bunker in Brooklyn, the album sees production duties handled by The Black Keys,
along with shared duties between the band, Mark Neill, and their old friend Danger
Mouse, who lends his skilled hands to a new track. Tchad Blake brings his sonic excellence into the fold to handle mixing duties… Muscle Shoals has produced iconic recordings from The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, and Wilson Pickett, among many others…
Carney admits Brothers is the album they’ve always wanted to make and taps into their creative
force as a duo. “Dan and I grew up a lot as individuals and musicians prior to making this album.
Our relationship was tested in many ways but at the end of the day, we’re brothers, and I think
these songs reflect that.ˇ The ghosts of Muscle Shoals inhabit Brothers’ 15 tracks. Of the album,
Auerbach says, “We like spooky sounds… like Alice Coltrane, where a dark groove is laid down.
That’s the headspace we tried to get into for this record.ˇ The album includes the Danger Mouseproduced song “Tighten Upˇ and a cover of the Jerry Butler classic “Never Gonna Give You Up.ˇ
Its been an remarkable couple of years for THE BLACK KEYS… Their last album, 2008’s
“Attack & Releaseˇ, was by far their most successful to date, and the year culminated with
them playing a sell-out show at Brixton Academy in London… Early 09 saw Black Keys
singer/guitarist DAN AUERBACH venture out on his own with a critically-acclaimed solo
album, “Keep It Hidˇ, that covered a variety of musical styles from psychedelia and soul
via gospel and bluegrass. Late 2009 saw the Keys spread their wings further with their
celebrated BLAKROC project, an exhilarating collaboration between themselves and a
star-studded line-up of influential hip-hop artists that included Mos Def, Q-Tip, RZA, Raekwon,
ODB, Pharoahe Monch, Jim Jones, Nicole Wray, NOE and Billy Danze (M.O.P).

Harvey Milk’s “A Small Turn of Human Kindness,” is the difference between watching a movie
like Irreversible vs. watching a movie like Independence Day. Both good films, however the first
stimulates a foreign mixture of emotions that require you to sleep it off, whereas the latter
concludes with you feeling comfortable with the fact that you’re a lazy, wasteful, culturally
sequestered American who has sat through this fucking movie way too many times in his/her
life! So, I think you get the idea, “A Small Turn of Human Kindness,” is as dense and as heavy
temperamentally as it is musically. The seven songs so subtly bleed together that the listener
has no choice, but to view the entire album as a linear orchestration with a singular ebb and
flow. A rising and falling action, refined to hell and back. And so, all of these things lead me to
believe that any and all true Harvey Milk fans will eventually argue this record as the band’s
finest work. Or at least the vinyl version will become the quintessential mantle-piece for a
generation of suburban children slumming it in the inner city you know who you are!
BIO:
Harvey Milk is a sludge/noise rock outfit formed in the early 1990’s from savannah,
Georgia. Harvey Milk disbanded around 1997. Due to increased popularity while the group was
no longer active, the band reformed (around 2008). Hydra Head released the bands first new
record after the hiatus, “Life the Best Game in Town....” “A Small Turn of Human Kindness” is
title of the first track on the band’s first proper release... and their seventh proper full-length
release

Darker Circles is the follow-up to The Sadies’ acclaimed last album Country Club (with John
Doe) and sees guitarist brothers Dallas and Travis Good, drummer Mike Belitsky
and bassist Sean Dean again pair with legendary Jayhawk and sought-after producer
Gary Louris.
Tracklist
Furthering the focused songwriting and recording aspirations reached on New Seasons,
The Sadies bring their signature blend of country, psychedelic, rock and surf into rifle-scope
focus on Darker Circles, further underscoring their reputations as musicians’ musicians. Always
at the top of the list when discussing musical chops and live intensity, The Sadies are now
more intent than ever on making their mark as songwriters. In one turn as heavy as a sledge,
and on the other flitting across melodies with the ease of so many sparrows,
The Sadies prove once again that denying them now is simply prolonging your conversion.
So go on, pull up that screeching wooden chair that bows with your weight. Slide it up next to
the turntable and drop the needle, The Sadies are a sure thing….tomorrow isn’t.

LIMBONIC ART RETURNS WITH ARGUABLY THEIR PRE-EMINENT OPUS “PHANTASMAGORIA”. A TRUE MASTERPIECE OF WAGNERIAN BLACK METAL ART!
Formed in 1993, LIMBONIC ART for a short time existed as a four-member project. It wasn’t until
inventor DAEMON met up with local musician MORFEUS, however, that the true nucleus and
unconventional concept of the band was found. With the duo thus sorting all areas of what most
would consider a “normal” band relationship, DAEMON and MORFEUS completed a four-track
rehearsal tape that would merely hint at the band’s distinctive take on symphonic Black Metal.
Fastward to 1996 and shortly after hearing the band’s only recorded material; Nocturnal Art
Productions owner SAMOTH (of EMPEROR fame) instantly offered LIMBONIC ART a recording
deal. That autumn the band’s much-revered debut, Moon in the Scorpio, was recorded and later
released. In Abhorrence Dementia (1997), Epitome of Illusions (1998) Ad Noctum/Dynasty of
Death (1999) two collectable box sets (2000 and 2001 respectively, Hammerheart Records) The
Ultimate Death Worship (2002) followed, finding the band further widespread acclaim. Touring,
festival appearances, including their headline (and US debut) at the 2001 Milwaukee Metal Fest,
as well as outside interests (ZYKLON, DIMENSION F3H, etc) kept the duo amassed in creative
outpourings through the early millennium. After 2002s The Ultimate Death Worship, the band broke
up. Since the departure the two members have been active on different fronts, DAEMON with his
black-thrash metal band SARCOMA INC and REVOLT, and MORFEUS with DIMENSION F3H,
both releasing full-length albums. 06.06.06 the two members, DAEMON and MORFEUS, decided
to bring back the dark powerful entity LIMBONIC ART. The comeback album Legacy of Evil was
released worldwide in the fall of 2007 and was a successful return. Now in 2010, LIMBONIC ART
returns as a one piece, only with original member DAEMON, as the one and only song-writer
and craftsman behind the entity. LIMBONIC ART returns with arguably their pre-eminent opus
Phantasmagoria. A true masterpiece of Wagnerian Black Metal art! The Daemonic Era is here,
your ride now awaits!

BETTYE LAVETTE brings the British Invasion home to its American R&B roots on her latest CD, INTERPRETATIONS:
THE BRITISH ROCK SONGBOOK, due May 25 on Anti-. While BETTYE’s Grammy-nominated 2007 disc The Scene
Of The Crime went to the source to find triumph over her own anguish, INTERPRETATIONS looks to the past this
time for inspiration and uncovers common ancestry in seemingly divergent musical paths. Produced by BETTYE, Rob
Mathes and Michael Stevens, the album is a 13-song journey through compositions by the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led
Zeppelin and Pink Floyd among others, before concluding right where the very idea for INTERPRETATIONS started:
BETTYE’s visceral show-stopping rendition of The Who’s “Love Reign O’er Me” from the 2008 Kennedy Center Honors,
which appears here as a bonus track. That performance – which first brought BETTYE together with Stevens (the
event’s producer) and Mathes (its musical director) – served notice that BETTYE is no mere singer. As an extraordinary
interpreter of song, she doesn’t merely mold a piece of music to suit her tastes; she is a conjurer of deep, emotional
truths: “Bettye LaVette punched a hole right through her version of Pete Townshend’s ‘Love Reign O’er Me,’ letting all
the song’s emotion pour out in a way that its creators never conceived,” observed the New York Daily News. Townshend
himself came up to Bettye after her performance, took her hands into his and said, “You made me weep.” Throughout
INTERPRETATIONS, her performances are a revelation not just of raw emotion, but of the inexorable ties between
British rock ‘n’ roll and the American blues and R&B, which when combined, catalyzed popular music. That Lennon,
McCartney, and so many others who crossed the Atlantic in their wake, were deeply influenced by American music is
no great secret. What BETTYE demonstrates here so convincingly is the degree to which rock ‘n’ roll and American
soul remain bound by bloodlines. The Beatles’ pre-psychedelic Rubber Soul classic “The Word” takes on an almost
religious fervor, while Paul McCartney’s “Maybe I’m Amazed” is transformed from a majestic pop song into a stark,
almost desperate expression of devotion. Profound alienation becomes intense longing on Pink Floyd’s “Wish You
Were Here,” and the wistful naiveté of The Moody Blues’ “Nights in White Satin” matures into a deep and unshakeable
lament. BETTYE inhabits these songs, revitalizes them and exposes the humanity that makes these 13 tracks not just
pop songs, but enduring works of art. Such mastery hardly comes as a surprise to at least one legend featured here.
Elton John (whose “Talking Old Soldiers” appeared on The Scene Of The Crime) offers this endorsement of BETTYE’s
impassioned take on “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me”: “Bettye LaVette has always been a wonderful singer – I
have been a huge fan for many years. To my delight and surprise she recorded an amazing version of ‘Talking Old
Soldiers’ – a song that nobody else has covered – and made it her own. “Now she has recorded ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go
Down on Me’ and has done exactly the same – but this time with a much more familiar song. I am truly touched by her
picking these songs and can only hope that this album brings more attention to this incredible artist.”

Saint Bartlett opens up with a grandiosity yet unheard on a Damien Jurado album. It strips
away the many layers of paint from the house down the street where we know Jurado has
occupied for the last decade. The new coat is exhilarating. It makes the whole neighborhood
shine. It’s a modest grandiosity; still homegrown. The mellotron swells, heavenly handclaps
ring in stereo and big drums create a sky for the songs to fly in. And the words.Words spring
forth from within the volcano of Jurado, full of hope. There’s so much hope, in fact, that
album opener “Cloudy Shoes” turns into a call-and-response with himself, as though it were
a dialogue between two halves of himself. “I wish that I could float up from the ground / I will
never know what that’s like”
Heavy stuff. Richard Swift’s Spector-esque production is spot-on. He ferries Jurado across
the river, where the metamorphosis occurs. He then ferries him back, and it is through Swift’s
lens that we see Jurado not as a folk singer, but as a mystic — somewhere between Van
Morrison, ScottWalker and Wayne Coyne. Saint Bartlett was made entirely at Swift’s National
Freedom studio in Oregon, in just under a week with only Jurado and Swift as the performers.

Get ready to celebrate a new sort of Sabaoth. GLENN DANZIG -- the man, the myth, the muscles, the MISFITS mastermind and, of course, the master of many talents, ranging from composer to comic book
publisher -- is ending a six-year dearth of new music.
The album is his ninth and was produced by DANZIG himself. It was recorded in Los Angeles throughout
the course of 2009. The multi-tasking DANZIG handled bass duties for most of the album and even played
drums on the song Black Candy.
Deth Red Sabaoth is 11 songs strong, and some song titles include The Revengeful and On a Wicked Night.
There is also the two-parter called Pyre of Souls; part one is said to be dirgy and opens with an acoustic
guitar, a piano and DANZIG’s signature vocals, while part two erupts with electric guitar fury.
Longtime DANZIG cohorts guitarist TOMMY ViICTOR of PRONG, who has worked with the singer since
1996, and drummer JOHNNY KELLY of TYPE O NEGATIVE/SEVENTH VOID, played on the album, which
marks the first time KELLY -- who has intermittently sat behind the kit for DANZIG live shows since 2002 -has actually recorded with DANZIG.
The album has a natural feel, thanks to the way the iconic DANZIG attacked the recording process,
choosing to steer clear of studio trickery and technology. “I think that fans will really dig this new album,” said
DANZIG in a statement. “I’ve been told several times that the album has a cool vitality to it, that it sounds
energized, and I got that feeling when I was recording it. I wanted to have an organic sound, bigger and
thicker, so I went out and bought some 1970’s Kustom tuck ‘n’ roll bass amps to play some of the guitar
parts through. You’ll hear real reverb, real tremolo on this album, which sounds completely different than the
stuff that’s done with computer chips.” From that description, it sounds like Deth Red Sabaoth is going to be beefier than DANZIG’s arms, which
look like they could crush walnuts! The visually-arresting artwork for Deth Red Sabaoth was designed by
award winner JOE CHIODO, who has worked on dozens of graphic novels and comic books, most notably
X-Men Unlimited. It makes total sense, as DANZIG is a noted comic book fan and publisher; CHIODO also
works on DANZIG’s own Verotik publishing line.
DANZIG will tour in support of the album, with dates to be announced imminently. STEVE ZING, who played
in SAMHAIN with DANZIG, will play bass on those dates.

Nikki Sixx for Mötley Crüe’s release of New Tattoo in 2000 and just missed the cut.

It is fitting that ten seconds into Blitzen Trapper’s fifth full-length record, front man Eric Earley utters that most sacred
of rock ‘n’ roll tropes: “For to love is to leave or to run like a rollin’ stone,” he sings in the harmonized verse that leads
off the album’s epic title track, “Destroyer of the Void.” As is the case with just about every musician or band that
has employed the Blues’ greatest simile—Muddy Waters, Hank Williams, Van Morrison, the Temptations, the Rolling
Stones—Blitzen Trapper is unabashed in its embrace of tradition.
Over the course of their four full-lengths albums to date, including their revelatory 2008 Sub Pop release Furr, the
Portland band has already made that much clear. And, Earley’s considerable poetic talents and his band’s hardearned chops have gained them a growing international audience. The band’s continuing exploration of American
music that spans from the ‘60s folk movement to the country sounds of the ‘70s, to the pop balladry and prog rock
of the ‘80s has earned it notice ranging from Rolling Stone magazine to late-night network television to Yo Gabba
Gabba, among a great many others. Destroyer of the Void takes Blitzen Trapper one step further, building on the
band’s seamless marriage of the familiar and the fantastic to, literally, create an otherworldly experience.
But there is more to Blitzen Trapper than those traditions. More than anything, the band credits its music to its Pacific Northwest home. It is there that the six members came together ten years ago and formed a creative cauldron
from which would emerge numerous novels, a locally-celebrated play based on the film Manos: The Hands of Fate,
innumerable art projects and, of course, a flood of fantastical songs. Destroyer of the Void is only the latest work to
emerge from this world, but it is one where their musical community is on full display.
During two distant and brief breaks from the band’s near-incessant touring for Furr—one in January 2009 and the
other in January 2010— Earley and a few of his bandmates entered the attic studio of the lauded Portland musician
and studio engineer who had recorded Furr standouts “Lady on the Water” and “Black River Killer,” Mike Coykendall
(Bright Eyes, M Ward, She & Him). In those two winters, in that old attic, Coykendall worked with Earley to bring life to
these songs, including material the songwriter had been working on for years, most notably the piano ballad “Sadie.”
The producer wasn’t the only local luminary to fill out the album. Preternatural musical siblings Peter Broderick (Horse
Feathers, Efterklang) and Heather Woods Broderick (Efterklang) wrote the album’s string arrangements, while folk
standout Alela Diane lent her angelic vocals to the duet “The Tree.”
The heart of Destroyer of the Void, though, is still found in Earley’s meticulous songwriting. Here he is firmly in storyteller mode, expanding on the mythical world he created on Furr. That album introduced listeners to a ragged but
beautiful world populated by mysterious killers, anthropomorphic narrators and benevolent women living in watery
ways. Here, those characters are joined by a wandering tailor, a black-eyed lover, a flower-tongued balladeer and,
of course, a host of lost lovers rolling along the road of life to a truly original American soundtrack.

FOLLOW UP TO THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED 2008 MASTERPIECE ASSASSINS.
Few bands today embrace their own individualism to ultimately craft something truly unique
and genre defying regardless of the sales potential. Enter the Chicago-based NACHTMYSTIUM who embrace the true spirit of individuality and intolerance forming solely as an outlet
to express the dark musical visions and summonings of those involved. This vicious, uncompromising groups (led by mastermind BLAKE JUDD) much anticipated new full-length offering, Addicts: Black Meddle Pt. II, is set for a June 7th release. The disc was recorded once
again with SANFORD PARKER (MINSK) at Volume Studios. They have enlisted the talents
of WREST (LEVIATHAN, LURKER OF CHALICE, TWILIGHT) to record all drum tracks as
well as WILL LINDSAY (WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM, MIDDIAN) on bass for this new
album, which was hailed by Decibel Magazine as One of the 25 most anticipated albums of
2010. NACHTMYSTIUM kicked off their 2010 touring cycle by joining up with German thrash
legends KREATOR and will be touring the U.S. with EYEHATEGOD this June, so head over
to www.myspace.com/nachtmystium to view their complete touring itinerary. There will also be
a limited edition, double gatefold vinyl featuring the bonus track Macrocosmic and an iTunes
exclusive bonus track featuring Every Last Drop remixed by JAMES PLOTKIN (KHANATE,
PHANTOMSMASHER). Artwork was done by JIMMY HUBBARD and SELDON HUNT and
the album features guest vocals by BRUCE LAMONT (YAKUZA) and guitar solos by RUSS
STRAHAN (PENTAGRAM) and MATT JOHNSON (PHAROH). JUDD further describes his
excitement over this upcoming album: Our love for post rock and industrial (a la MINISTRY,
KILLING JOKE, etc) is even more present this time around. We feel that we made a record that
will continue to push extreme music into uncharted territories. We hope to see you all soon.

album following The Magic Numbers (June 2005) & Those The Brokes (November 2007).
It also features string arrangements by Robert Kirby, renowned for his work with the likes
of Nick Drake, Sandy Denny and Elvis Costello.
The album was the last Robert worked on before he sadly passed away in October 2009.

2010 has seen NYC based quartet The Drums go from being one of the most talked about

10. I Need Fun in my Life

12. The Future
Off the back of their critically acclaimed Summertime! EP - released in October 2009 on
Moshi Moshi Records - The Drums took the coveted opening slot of the NME tour throughout February before being crowned winners of the “Philip Hall Radar Award” at the NME
awards.
Having played an intimate sold out three-date UK tour during the last week of March
(where they were watched by Morrissey, Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke of The Smiths),
the band has just put the finishing touches on their debut album, produced by lead singer
Jonny Pierce.
Joining the dots between the melodic glitter of sixties girl groups and some of Factory
Records’ finest, The Drums contains 10 brand new tracks with only summer hit-in-waiting
Let’s Go Surfing and torch-burning, heartbreaker Down By The Water coming over from
the EP.
New songs include the epic swoons of Me and the Moon and forthcoming single Forever
and Ever Amen, Book Of Stories with its gorgeous, bittersweet chorus, “I thought my life
would get easier, instead it’s getting harder” and the snowstorm beauty of album closer
The Future.

Here We Go Magic is a five-piece band made up of members Luke Temple, Kristina Lieberson,
Michael Bloch, Jennifer Turner, and Peter Hale. They originally came together in New York in
early 2009 through a series of chance encounters, overheard conversations and supernatural
occurrences.

From disparate musical backgrounds, the five found immediate common inspiration in a
collection of unique 4-track recordings created by lead singer Luke Temple. These recordings
were released in February, 2009 as the self-titled Here We Go Magic (Western Vinyl).
Since this initial spark the band’s creative momentum has been unwavering. Together they have
developed a broad array of musical material and honed an explosive live sound all their own.
They spent much of 2009 on successive North American and European tours with bands such
Department of Eagles, Grizzly Bear, and theWalkmen, before retreating to a house near East
Branch, NY to record their second full length LP.
Pigeons, set for release on Secretly Canadian in late Spring 2010, was produced and recorded
by Here We Go Magic over four months in the late Summer and Fall of 2009. The band plans
extensive touring in conjunction with its release.

The Gaslight Anthem’s third album reveals a remarkably powerful rock ‘n’ roll outfit honed by two years
of nearly non-stop touring. Singer/guitarist Fallon’s passionate lyrical approach has grown more personal
and introspective, his raw throated vocals stronger and more resonant against the band’s pulse-pounding
dynamic force. The album burns with the spirit of soul, the energy of punk, and the artistic ambition of any
hall of famer you’d care to name. AMERICAN SLANG is the battle cry of a great band finding its own voice
and using it to shout to the rooftops and beyond. The Gaslight Anthem hit the road hard in 2008 and never
looked back. After two straight years of touring supporting the release of their break-through album THE
’59 SOUND, the band returned home in November 2009 and took a well-earned month off before getting
back to work. For AMERICAN SLANG The band was determined to be true to their influences while not
being defined by them. Where in the past The Gaslight Anthem may have seemed overly reverential to
its inspirations, the goal here was to stake a claim for the band’s own individuality. “We had to figure out,
what are we doing?” says Fallon. “What do we have to say? What makes us different than everybody
else? So with this one, we worked really hard, to find out what we’re made of.” AMERICAN SLANG turns
up the dial on the band’s love of soul and classic rock, while still flying the flag of its hardcore roots. Songs
such as “Bring It On” and “Orphans” provide the exhilarating answer to Fallon’s musical question, what
if the Rolling Stones played with breakneck energy of Stiff Little Fingers? The stirring title track, with its
mordant acknowledgement of “when it was over/I woke up alone,” served as a kind of songwriting mission
statement for Fallon. Though his lyrics remain populated with finely etched characterizations the overall
focus is more self-directed and concise. “I was hiding a lot of things in imagery before,” Fallon says, “I was
using pictures and distractions to get my point across. This one was more about just telling it how it is.
Being like, ‘Look, I’m gonna let you in on this. This is my world and what I deal with.’” With its astonishing
range and undeniable urgency, AMERICAN SLANG is The Gaslight Anthem laying it all on the line, giving
it all they had to give. Achieving their dreams only served to fuel The Gaslight Anthem’s already limitless
ambition, driving the band to test their mettle as artists and as men. “It gave us the opportunity to get to see
what we were made of,” Fallon says. “Not a lot of people get that. It’s like, do we belong here or is there
somebody better? We’ll see what happens. To us, we did our best and that’s the thing that really matters.”
