One albums, 5 Number One singles, 13 Platinum albums and 5 Gold singles. An incredible 25 of their 30 albums have

ALBUM FACTS
Genre: Rock
Description: Flashback version of Morrison Hotel
ARTIST & INFO
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
The Doors, one of the most influential and controversial rock bands of the 1960s, were formed in Los Angeles in 1965
by UCLA film students Ray Manzarek, keyboards, and Jim Morrison, vocals; with drummer John Densmore and
guitarist Robby Krieger. The group never added a bass player, and their sound was dominated by Manzarek's electric
organ work and Morrison's deep, sonorous voice, with which he sang and intoned his highly poetic lyrics. The group
signed to Elektra Records in 1966 and released its first album, The Doors, featuring the hit "Light My Fire," in 1967.
Like "Light My Fire," the debut album was a massive hit, and endures as one of the most exciting, groundbreaking
recordings of the psychedelic era. Blending blues, classical, Eastern music, and pop into sinister but beguiling
melodies, the band sounded like no other. With his rich, chilling vocals and somber poetic visions, Morrison explored
the depths of the darkest and most thrilling aspects of the psychedelic experience. Their first effort was so stellar, in
fact, that the Doors were hard-pressed to match it, and although their next few albums contained a wealth of first-rate
material, the group also began running up against the limitations of their recklessly disturbing visions. By their third
album, they had exhausted their initial reservoir of compositions, and some of the tracks they hurriedly devised to meet
public demand were clearly inferior to, and imitative of, their best early work. On The Soft Parade, the group
experimented with brass sections, with mixed results. Accused (without much merit) by much of the rock underground
as pop sellouts, the group charged back hard with the final two albums they recorded with Morrison, on which they
drew upon stone-cold blues for much of their inspiration, especially on 1971's L.A. Woman. From the start, the Doors'
focus was the charismatic Morrison, who proved increasingly unstable over the group's brief career. In 1969, Morrison
was arrested for indecent exposure during a concert in Miami, an incident that nearly derailed the band. Nevertheless,
the Doors managed to turn out a series of successful albums and singles through 1971, when, upon the completion of
L.A. Woman, Morrison decamped for Paris. He died there, apparently of a drug overdose. The three surviving Doors
tried to carry on without him, but ultimately disbanded. Yet the Doors' music and Morrison's legend continued to
fascinate succeeding generations of rock fans: In the mid-'80s, Morrison was as big a star as he'd been in the
mid-'60s, and Elektra has sold numerous quantities of the Doors' original albums plus reissues and releases of live
material over the years, while publishers have flooded bookstores with Doors and Morrison biographies. In 1991,
director Oliver Stone made The Doors, a feature film about the group starring Val Kilmer as Morrison.

ALBUM FACTS
Genre: Rock Producers: Converge's Kurt Ballou
Description: With the explosive first single "Bruane Brenn" to the slowed down guitar crunching of "Evig Vandrar" to
the brutally chaotic "Nekrokosmos," Meir is an album that certainly lives up to the hype of giving the listener "more."
Tight rhythms, inventive guitar hooks and melodies that seep into your consciousness, this is an album that constantly
surprises.
ARTIST & INFO
Hometown: Stavanger, Norway Band Members: Kvelertak is Erlend Hjelvik (vocals), Vidar Landa (guitars), Bjarte
Lund Rolland (guitars), Maciek Ofstad (guitars), Marvin Nygaard (bass), Kjetil Gjermundrød (drums)
They're called punk and metal, but at their hearts Norwegian berserkers Kvelertak are the living, firebreathing
embodiment of rock and roll. Since their formation in 2006, they've built a die-hard fan-base hungry for their utterly
ferocious live shows that have already burned two flaming tire-tracks across the globe.
"Buzzworthy" doesn't even begin to describe Kvelertak, and their roll-call of achievements reads like a legend waiting
to happen. Their rapturously-received self-titled 2011 debut - produced by none other than Converge's Kurt Ballou was termed "the best Norwegian debut of all time" by Norwegian rock authority Asbjørn Slettemark, "Best Debut
Album" by Metal Hammer Germany, "Best New Artist" and "Best Rock Album" at the Spellemannprisen (Norway's
Grammy equivalent), and iTunes US's Metal Breakthrough Artist of The Year in 2011. Along with unanimous praise
from Metal Hammer UK, Terrorizer, Rock Hard, and Kerrang! who called them "the most exciting new band on the
planet," Kvelertak - or "chokehold" in English- are showing no signs of slowing down.
From storming 2011's SXSW festival to being personally invited by Mastodon to support them in Bergen, Norway, to
Dave Grohl presenting them with their first gold discs at a sold-out Foo Fighter's show, this Scandinavian sextet have
already circled the globe, hitting every fest from the UK to Australia, including a gig in Singapore that finished out on
the street, stopping traffic and ending up as a viral hit on YouTube.
At the core of it, though, is the music - a brew of rock, punk and metal so infectious it should carry a warning label.
Look out, world, because their second album, Meir, is on its way.
"It's like the first one, but way more in every way," says six-stringer Bjarte Lund Rolland. "The big songs are bigger, the
harder songs are harder, the poppy songs are poppier, and..."
"This is going to blow your brains out," adds singer Erlend Hjelvik, whose riot-inducing vocals may be in Norwegian,
but they speak a language of badass bravado like no other. "The first one was pretty much all party; this time around
it's the hangover where you go round two and start drinking again the day after. You get drunk real quick and you're
generally in a weird fuck-you-all-mood. It's known as the shampoo-effect."
Call it the shampoo-effect, or one of the most uproarious displays of recorded lunacy of the 21st century, but these
Stavanger natives are set to take on the world. Think stunning guitar-leads that recall the heady days of Guns N'
Roses tempered with the down-stroked muscularity of Metallica, with the party-vibes of a rockabilly hoedown,
Kvelertak are nothing short of a fjord fiesta.
"The most important thing is that it's just as fucking shameless as the first one," says Bjarte. If not more. "I'm really
excited about it."
We are too, Bjarte. We are, too.

ARTIST & INFO
Hometown: Mexico City, Mexico Band Members: Diego Domingo, Sergio Muñiz, Matias Biluron and Emiliano
Roque
Marconi is Diego Domingo, Sergio Muñiz, Matias Biluron and Emiliano Roque. Although this four man group came
together in Mexico City, two of the four are from Argentina, but they all share the same passion for the arts. They come
from various backgrounds that range from vocalists, musicans, Broadway tours and TV acting. To say that the
combined talents of Marconi go beyond what is witnessed today with most music acts is an understatement. Their
combined vocal talents not only complement the great songs that are presented on this release, but it also introduces
a group that rarely is found today in the Latin music genre. They are a four piece group that delivers a fresh and
distinctive pop sound not heard in a very long time. Their self titled debut is off to a great start with the radio single "Me
Puedes Pedir Lo Que Sea" featuring TV actress EIZA GONZALEZ. During the week of release to radio, it entered the
Top 20 Latin pop charts and the reaction from listeneres is proving it will become one of the biggest Latin pop songs of
2013. Marconi is currently in talks for a U.S. summer tour.

ALBUM FACTS
Genre: Rock Producers: Produced by Graham Nash and Joel Bernstein with Stephen Stills
Description: Carry On is a four-CD set, spanning 50 years and includes more than five hours of music and includes a
113 page booklet.
Produced by Graham Nash and Joel Bernstein with Stephen Stills, Rhino’s much-anticipated anthology spotlights the
remarkable scope of stills’ career with essential recordings, live cuts, new mixes, and 25 previously unreleased tracks.
The tracks unfold mostly in chronological order, and the anthology leads off with its oldest entry: “Travelin’”—a
previously unreleased recording that Stills made at age 17 in Costa Rica (one of the many places he lived growing up
in a military family). The youngest track, recorded only a few months ago, features CSN performing “Girl From The
North Country” in New York City during a sold-out five-night run at the Beacon Theater that closed the group’s
acclaimed 2012 world tour.
Carry On, which features a 113-page booklet with rare photos and extensive liner notes by Michael O’Hara Garcia,
David Bender, and NY Times Best Selling author Daniel Levitin, will be available as a 4-CD boxed set on March 26
from Rhino.
In addition to essential studio and live recordings, Carry On covers new ground with more than an hour’s worth of
previously unreleased material including “No-Name Jam,” a 1970 recording of Stills in London trading guitar licks with
his friend Jimi Hendrix. Other previously unissued highlights include the songs “Welfare Blues” (1984), “Little Miss
Bright Eyes” (1973), and “Who Ran Away?” (1968), and early demo versions of “Forty-Nine Reasons” and “The Lee
Shore,” and “Black Coral,” a song Stills and Young released as a duo in 1976—the version here features all four
members of CSNY. “The Treasure” offers a peek into Stills’ process—originally released in 1973 on Manassas’s
self-titled debut, this version was recorded by Stills three years earlier with bassist Calvin Samuels and drummer
Conrad Isidore during sessions for Stephen Stills 2.
Carry On also features a number of classic songs newly remixed by Nash and Stanley Tajima Johnston, including
“Everydays,” “To A Flame,” “See The Changes,” “4+20” and “Change Partners,” the latter with Jerry Garcia on pedal
steel guitar. There is also a newly edited version of Stills performing “Cuba Al Fin” at the Havana Jam in 1979.
Several songs make their CD-debut, including “Uno Mundo,” “War Games” and the single mix of “Love The One
You’re With.” Stills’ time on stage is represented as well with a number of previously released performances, including
several from his acclaimed 2005 album Man Alive.
The collection boasts new live tracks, including CSN singing “No Tears Left” in 1997 at the Fillmore in San Francisco,
and CSNY on stage in 2002 at Madison Square Garden with Memphis Horns Booker T. Jones and Donald “Duck”
Dunn covering Otis Redding’s “Ole Man Trouble.” Other famous players turn up on CARRY ON’s wealth of material as
well, including Herbie Hancock, Eric Clapton, Maynard Ferguson, Ray Baretto, Willie Bobo, and Larry Harlow.

ALBUM FACTS
Genre: Rock Producers: John Hill (known for his work with M.I.A. and Santigold, as well as with hip-hop acts such as
Nas and the Wu-Tang Clan)
Vinyl Details: 1-LP, regular weight black vinyl in gatefold jacket with bonus CD
Description: Straight from the dungeons of L.A., Wavves are releasingAfraid Of Heights, their fourth album and first
on the Mom + Pop and Warner Bros. labels. Now a duo consisting of guitarist Nathan Williams and bassist Stephen
Pope, they sound bigger, brasher, and shockingly more professional than ever on Afraid Of Heights which positions
the band to take their rightful place amongst the pop-punk gods.
The product of more than a year of writing and recording, Afraid Of Heights expands the Wavves sound while
remaining true to the band's original vision - it was created with absolutely no label involvement, a specter that nearly
derailed King Of The Beach. Working with producer John Hill (known for his work with M.I.A. and Santigold, as well as
with hip-hop acts such as Nas and the Wu-Tang Clan), the band found a willing party in creating what they felt was the
truest expression of what they wanted. As for the Afraid Of Heights sessions themselves, Williams paid for them
out-of-pocket, explaining his reasoning with, "In doing so, I had no one to answer to. We recorded the songs how and
when we wanted without anybody interfering, and that's how it's supposed to be."
ARTIST & INFO
Hometown: San Diego, CA
You know the story by now. Bored dude in his parents' tool shed-turned-room with no insulation and a record stuck to
a hole in the wall to keep the mice out turns on a four-track recorder, fucks around and ends up with two of the oddest,
noisiest, and downright catchiest albums in recent memory.
Those two records (the eponymous Wavves the eponyymous Wavvves) were winningly, messily chaotic-grand on a
small scale, but not necessarily world-beaters. Which is why when Williams, then solo, linked up with erstwhile Jay
Reatard sidemen Stephen Pope (bass) and Billy Hayes (drums) and busted the door down with the stunner that was
King Of The Beach, a pop-punk blackout for the DeLonge and Deleuze crowd. After the smoke of King Of The Beach
had cleared, Williams and Pope released the Life Sux EP, a testament to the crushing powers of rock n' roll and also
ennui.

ALBUM FACTS
Genre: World Music
ARTIST & INFO
Hometown: Agadez, Niger
Born and raised in Niger, in and around the northern city of Agadez, Bombino is a member of the Tuareg Ifoghas tribe,a
nomadic people descended from the Berbers of North Africa. The Tuareg people have fought the Niger government to
secure their rights on numerous occasions, causing Bombino and his family to flee several times. During one such exile,
relatives visiting from the front lines of the rebellion left behind a guitar, and Bombino began teaching himself to play it. He
eventually studied with the renowned Tuareg guitarist Haja Bebe, who asked him to join his band, where he acquired the
nickname Bombino—a variation on the Italian word for “little child.”
While living in Algeria and Libya in his teen years, Bombino’s friends played him videos of Jimi Hendrix and Mark Knopfler,
among others, which they watched over and over in an effort to master their licks. Bombino worked regularly as a musician
and also as a herder in the desert near Tripoli, spending many hours alone watching the animals and practicing his guitar.
Eventually, Bombino returned to Niger, where he continued to play with a number of local bands. As his legend grew, a
Spanish documentary film crew helped Bombino record his first album, Group Bombino’s Guitars from Agadez Vol. 2,
which became a local radio hit.
In 2009, Bombino met filmmaker Ron Wyman, who had heard a cassette of Bombino’s music while traveling near Agadez.
Wyman was enchanted by Bombino’s music and spent a year seeking him out, eventually tracking him down to
Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, where he was in exile after two band members were killed in a rebellion. (The Tuaregs have
since put down their arms and returned to Niger.) Wyman featured Bombino in a documentary he was filming about the
Tuareg and also produced his 2011 solo album, Agadez.
Writing about Bombino’s 2011 album Agadez, NPR Music praised the artist’s “sublime guitar licks,” which Pitchfork has
described as “scorching.” The BBC has said, “[Bombino’s music] holds hidden power beneath its deceptive simplicity, with
many a tune devolving into blistering guitar jams, following chanted vocals about the struggle for unity and
self-determination, as well as the longing that love brings, and the difficulties facing a life of shepherd’s solitude.”

delights that ebbs and flows with extraordinary splashes of darkness and light, pleasure and pain, chaos and order.As

Description:
'Iconic EP' is now available in North America, and features brand new tracks along with fan favorites such as Ready
For The Weekend, I Love It and Nights Like These.
Entertainment Weekly, Washington Post and Pitchfork have appointed their summer single ‘I Love It' as one of the
best of 2012, while MTV picked the single as the official theme tune for the current season of J-Wow and Snooki,
further affirming - as critics continue to praise their music - that America is already loving Icona Pop.
Between releasing the ‘Iconic' and ‘Manners' EPs and touring across the world, Icona Pop is busy recording their
debut album, expected in mid to late 2013.
ARTIST & INFO
Hometown: Sweden Band Members: Aino Jawo, Caroline Hjelt
Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt met on a Saturday night in the February of 2009 which they can only recount as “the best
thing that ever happened.” After their hangovers had cleared, these girls from the Stockholm suburbs formed an
electronic pop duo band, booked their first gig and Icona Pop was officially born.
Since then, Icona Pop has teamed with The Knocks (voted one of NME's hottest production outfits of the hour), Patrik
Berger (Robyn), Elof Loelv (Niki &The Dove), Fredrik Berger (The Good Natured) and Style of Eye, and booked
sessions with UK producers like Starsmith (Kylie, Ellie Goulding) and Burns. Their Neon Gold-released double a-side
single ‘Manners' / ‘Top Rated' prompted journals like NME and The Guardian to say things along the lines of
"effortlessly cool" and "all the makings of a 24-carat pop hit."
There's plenty more of this evocative material brewing with Icona Pop's new "Iconic" EP, which has garnered support
from the likes of Pitchfork ("Textbook pop perfection") to the New York Times ("Exuberant electro-pop"); their "I Love
It" remix package, which features some of the world's finest & up-and-coming producers (Sazon Booya, Nari & Milani,
Volta Bureau and Style of Eye to name a few); and a debut album slated for early in early 2013 on Big Beat Records.
2013 is already proving to be a promising year for the Swedish pop senstations. Fresh off of the heels of receiving
numerous accolades plus making the cut in most Best of 2012 lists, including Rolling Stone's 'Best Songs of 2012',
SPIN's 'Best Pop Albums of 2012', Pitchfork's 'Top Tracks of 2012', Washington Post's 'Song of the Summer',
Entertainment Weekly's 'Best Singles of 2012', Huffington Post's 'Best Song of 2012', Village Voice's 'Pazz+Jop Top
Singles of 2012', and Idolator's 'Best Music of 2012', the Icona Pop ladies will support Passion Pit and Matt & Kim on
their upcoming North American tour, including a performance at the legendary Madison Square Garden.
Caroline and Aino's meeting may have been fate, from the very beginning to almost three years later, the party is still
alive and Icona Pop is still having a great time.

ALBUM FACTS
Genre: Latin Pop Producers: Cristhiam Rigu Radio Formats: Latin Pop Focus Markets: Key DMAs: Miami, Puerto
Rico, New York City, Newark, Washington DC, Orlando, Tampa, Boston, Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Los
Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco
Description: Entre Venas is Rigu's debut album. It features nine songs either written or co-written by the artist. In
these recordings, Rigu introduces his smooth, textured voice that perfectly fits the Latin pop and dance tracks that
listeners will come to appreciate. Throughout the recordings however, time again his vocal talents break into powerful
chords that highlight the singers ability to transfer from a soft, melodic tone to a strong and captivating style that will no
doubt be the recognized talent of this new artist.
ARTIST & INFO
Born in Venezuela, Rigu today calls Miami his home, but his singing career started in his country of birth at a young
age. This new male pop vocalist was singing as front man to a couple of music groups less than ten years ago and
toured the Venezuelan music circuit for quite some time, but recently he and his family decided to leave Venezuela
and make the U.S. their home. Since his arrival, Rigu has continued to sing and wrote music, but his reputation as an
up-and-coming singer-songwriter reached Warner music and during the Summer of 2012, the partnership began taking
form and recording his debut album took place.

ALBUM FACTS
Genre: Rock
Description:
Degüello is the sixth studio album by American blues-rock band ZZ Top, released in 1979. Itwas produced by Bill Ham,
and recorded and mixed by Terry Manning. The first cd pressing appeared in 1984.
ARTIST & INFO
ZZ Top an American blues rock band, formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas. Comprising of Billy Gibbons (lead vocals, guitar
and harmonica), Dusty Hill (vocals, bass, and keyboards), and Frank Beard (drums and percussion), ZZ Top was ranked
number 44 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.". The trio's original lineup has been intact for over 40 years. ZZ
Top retained the services of the same manager, Bill Ham, until September 2006.
The bandmates' image has been as unchanging and memorable as their music. Their signature style of dress and
accessories are hard to miss. Gibbons and Hill often use the same synchronized dance moves while performing onstage,
and with few exceptions appear in public wearing sunglasses. The pair favor wearing similar black clothing (usually biker
leathers) and various headgear which often include cowboy hats, baseball caps, and bandanas. Gibbons and Hill, who
appear as twin frontmen wear chest-length untrimmed beards, although drummer Frank Beard has only a trimmed
mustache. In 1984, the Gillette Company reportedly offered Gibbons and Hill $1 million each to shave their beards for a
television commercial. They allegedly declined, saying "We're too ugly without 'em.
ZZ Top was inducted by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 15, 2004.
Cub Koda wrote, "As genuine roots musicians, they have few peers; Gibbons is one of America's finest blues guitarists
working in the hard rock idiom ... while Hill and Beard provide the ultimate rhythm section support."
