DAVIDGE, Esteemed Composer and Producer of Massive Attack, Set To Release 'Riot Pictures' featuring Sandie Shaw October 7th


Carnaby Street, Biba, Sgt Peppers, David Bailey, The Kings Road, The Rolling Stones and a barefootSandie Shaw, just a few of the glorious images from the Swinging 60’s. Sandie Shaw is the original pop princess working with seminal music artists from Burt Bacharach andAdam Faith to The Smiths on celebrated hits such as "Puppet on a String", "Always Something There to Remind Me” and "Hand In Glove", the first of a kind, laying the foundations for early feminism and an inspiration who has paved the way for the young iconic women of today who follow in her bare footsteps.
Last year with the release of her entire back catalogue Sandie flippantly announced her plans to retire… her agenda was in fact all the more exciting. The retirement taken as a literal comment by the media was not an outright plan to turn to pastures new, but in fact a desire to put to bed her musical past, move on from her musical heritage and focus on a new sound, a new image and brand new material. Plans were already in the pipeline starting with an exciting new project created by the also legendary Neil Davidge akaDavidge, the producer, sonic architect and co-writer of the last three Massive Attackalbums.
"Sandie Shaw is one of the great icons of British Popular Music. Her voice and charm have been the backdrop to the changing face of music. She’s a legend." - Jools Holland
Neil Davidge, best known for his production work on the ground breaking album "Mezzanine” and the hauntingly beautiful single “Teardrop”. He’s the composer of Microsoft’s Halo 4 gaming franchise and score composer to many movies including the forthcoming James Franco / Kate Hudson movie “Good People” as well as the highly anticipated “Monsters: Dark Continent” sequel premiering in late November 2014, with an impressive lineage of musical collaborations and sonic sculpting for David Bowie, Snoop Dog, Damon Albarn, Primal Scream and Mos Def.
This year, Neil delivered his debut solo album ‘Slo Light’, a work of quality electronica and distinctive beats. A modern day Brian Eno, from the orchestral production school ofWilliam Orbit and Andrew Weatherall, Neil has been responsible for some of the most pioneering and inspirational music of the 90’s generation. He is a prolific writer and producer and a much respected ‘behind the scenes’ studio wizard. His unique, unparalleled depth and clarity of production creates the enigma of tension, darkness and beauty, the musical equivalent of a siren, calling sailors to their sweet doom.
In celebration of 50 years within the Music Business this Autumn, Sandie rallies to the siren call and makes a powerful statement by collaborating as a featured vocalist on one of Davidge’s latest productions, the superbly leftfield ‘Riot Pictures’, penned by Davidge with lyrics by Robert Del Naja. Sandie’s vocals show the brilliant maturity in her voice like never before– flexing her vocal chords over a sub bass growl and a Bond-esque string arrangement. It’s new, fresh, vibrant, sexy as hell and merges an appeal for the armies of fans of both Davidge / Massive Attack and Sandie alike.

Brass Bed returns with a brand new 7" on MA'AM Records! Out November 18th, Entertainment Weekly just debuted the A side, "Be Anything."


Brass Bed is releasing a brand new 7" with MA'AM Records on November 18th, 2014!

Following on the heels of their highly acclaimed 2013 LP, The Secret Will Keep You, "Be Anything" b/w "Mind The Gap" captures the band live on two inch tape deep in the midst of their tour cycle.

Yesterday, Entertainment Weekly debuted "Be Anything" calling it "a blissful balance of dirty fuzz and clean melodic lines that has a lot in common with Teenage Fanclub at their best."


Sweating their way through tour fever, exhaustion, and the last round of shows supporting 2013’s The Secret Will Keep You, Brass Bed entered The Loading Dock studios in Sacramento’s fruit-packing district with Chris Woodhouse (Thee Oh Sees, Ty Segall) to blast out a three song set on a chance collaboration.  Woodhouse’s breakneck tracking speed and explosive guitar treatments collided with a Brass Bed line-up well honed in dynamic, incandescent performances from nearly a year on the road. The result was an unlikely marriage of aesthetics boiled quickly in a summer heat that resulted in a raw, unsettled, lunging, leaning, and skuzzy version of a band heretofore known for its song craft and precision, all captured live to 16 tracks of two-inch tape.
While the three-song session would serve as the cornerstone of the band’s upcoming 4th LP (much of which was also recorded with Chris at the Dock) the material as it sat right on the tape, mixed in a fury of caffeine and beer, was just too good to languish on a reel. Recorded with the shortest distance from sweaty performance to wax, and presented in its purest form, the band shares “Be Anything” b/w “Mind the Gap” and a glimpse of what’s to come.
Brass Bed is the lifelong collaboration of Jonny Campos, Christiaan Mader, and Peter DeHart, begun during a bedroom recording session in Lafayette, LA in the Elephant 6-obsessed summer break from college.  It has blossomed from studio to stage through changes in lineup, geographic distance, three studio albums, four EPS, a handful of singles, a pair of robberies, and the various life distractions known as growing up. Brass Bed is not a project.  Brass Bed is a band.
Tour Dates:
10.23.14 – Atlanta, GA @ The Earl
10.24.14 – Shreveport, LA @ Bear’s On Fairfield
11.21.14 – Lafayette, LA @ Blue Moon Saloon
11.22.14 – New Orleans, LA @ Publiq House
Don't miss their incredible performance at NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series from last winter.

What the press had to say about The Secret Will Keep You:
"The oddly buoyant and utterly captivating album, out April 23, evokes a sad parade of broken hearts, loneliness, death, fear and even madness" NPR 
"...if I wanted to pretend to be cool, I would name-drop Brass Bed while also pretending that I know things about wine by saying a certain glass tastes “peaty” and “baroque.”" VICE
"The Secret Will Keep You’s underlying theme of disappointment is anything but. And if Brass Bed keeps their songs sunny and dark and familiar and weird, they could be sharing their disillusionment for the next generation." PASTE
"The Secret Will Keep You has been in constant rotation at my desk recently." The New Yorker
"…it's really fucking good." Captain's Dead
"...its undertones of 70’s-style countrified pop remain, but cocooned in a haze of psychedelia and sweet fuzz." The Times-Picayune
"...a psych-kissed, organ-powered jangler with enough electricity to power your cell phone or laptop for the next 25 listens (please review your data plan before attempting)." SPIN
"Songs for a generation in limbo." The Advocate
"Bursts of feedback, heavy guitar hooks and brooding keyboards carry mature themes — whether dead-end dreams, romance or regret." The Gambit
"I don’t know how you can have both chaos and roominess at the same time, but Brass Bed does it." Music For Robots
"The Secret Will Keep You is a swift-moving, riverine composition of indie-rock teeming with the alluvial guitar bursts and thumping bass that are deposited along the banks of the ten songs that comprise the album." Pop Press International

Locksley returns with new single "Let It Ride" + CMJ confirmed!


“Let It Ride,” the new single from Locksley is streaming now at NYLON (http://bit.ly/1v0Nii0). The song serves as a preview to the band’s upcoming album to be released in the new year. To celebrate, the band has confirmed a special performance highlighting all new material on October 25 at Rockwood Music Hall in New York City during this years’ CMJ Music Marathon.
 
Locksley made their debut with 2007’s Don’t Make Me Wait. Coming off a residency as the last house band at CBGB in its closing months, Locksley was heralded as “addictive” by MTV and chosen as one of “6 Breakout Bands to Watch” by Rolling Stone, with SPIN noting their “early punk stylings and contemporary lo-fi inflections able to win over even the most discriminate of music fans.” Furthermore, the band performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” which helped earn them tour slots with acts like Hanson, Rooney, The Hives, as backing band for Ray Davies of the Kinks, headlining the MTV Choose or Lose tour, as well as steady international headlining dates. In 2010 they followed up with Be In Love. Songs “Don’t Make Me Wait,” “She Does,” and breakout single “The Whip” have garnered over 300 syncs in movies, television, commercials, web, and sports.
 
Locksley is Jesse Laz (vocals, guitar), Jordan Laz (vocals, bass), Kai Kennedy (vocals, guitar) and Sam Bair (drums). The band grew up in Madison, Wisconsin and relocated to New York City, where they have remained throughout their extensive career as an entirely self-produced, self-published, self-managed and self-releasing collective.
 

Clementine & The Galaxy Remix Roses & Revolution "Take Me With You"


Roses and Revolutions continues to make waves with its rich and often haunting sound. Its two supremely talented members, Alyssa Coco and Matt Merritt, both hail from Rochester, NY, and share dreams of making intimate connections with a wide audience through music.
 
A remix of the bands hit track, “Take Me With You” premiered this morning via The Music Ninja.  The high-energy remix comes courtesy of the sensational electro-pop duo, Clementine & The Galaxy. 
 
Listen to the remix here.
 
Roses & Revolutions has announced a show with Graham Colton at Jammin’ Java on Thursday, November 20 in Vienna, VA.  More information can be found here.
 
"It's hard to deny the bewitching beauty of Roses & Revolutions... there's something sweetly hypnotic about the way it all comes together here... pretty damn irresistible."  This is what PopDose had to say about R&R and, by all accounts, it’s a frighteningly accurate description. 
 
 
 

JUNIUS: Announce "Forcing Out The Silence" EP Vinyl Release on November 18th + Pre-Order


Ten years ago, in the fall of 2004, then Boston-based Junius released their first EP, Forcing Out The Silence. Since that time, Junius has toured around the world many times over and released numerous other EP's, splits and full-lengths.  To celebrate the anniversary of the band's first-ever release and a decade of existence, the Space Rock quartet have teamed up with Science of Silence Records to bring the Forcing Out The Silence EP back to life.

First released by Radar Recordings and later packaged together with the Blood Is Bright EP to form the band's first self-titled full length, this marks the first time Forcing Out The Silence will be released as a standalone vinyl piece on November 18th.


At the time Amplifier Magazine said "This fiery Boston quartet displays the potential to emerge as the bridge between post-grunge and the future of alternative rock."  Razorcake also commented, "Take the darkness of The Cure's best and mix it with the heaviness of A Perfect Circle and moodiness of Placebo... This fell into my lap at the right time." 

Completely remastered for vinyl by Will Benoit of The Radar Studio (Caspian, Constants, Gifts From Enola), this release will see its original artwork expanded for the format by guitarist Michael Repasch-Nieves. Vinyl will be limited to 500 with four different variants being offered: Black (180g), White, Red as well as a White/Black Swirl.  All versions will have a B-Side etching.
Pre-orders for the November 18th release are currently up for sale now at www.scienceofsilence.net.  All orders will receive a digital download of the remastered album which will also include an unearthed demo for the track "From The Isle of the Blessed."

Sean Danielsen (Smile Empty Soul) announces 'Food Chain' solo EP, acoustic tour dates


Sean Danielsen, guitarist/vocalist of veteran hard rock band, Smile Empty Soul, has announced a new solo EP 'Food Chain' to be released on November 4.

"I'm really excited to be releasing my own solo music and doing my own shows," said Danielsen. "It's a nice change of pace for me, and a challenge that I'm looking forward to."

 

Since releasing its debut album on Atlantic Records in 2003, Danielsen and Smile Empty Soul continue to be a relentless force in hard rock. With countless successful tours, a top 10 single and a certified gold record, Smile Empty Soul released its sixth album Chemicalslast year.
