STRAIGHT LINES debut album ‘Persistence In This Game’

Straight Lines kick off their 2010 campaign with a slot at the SXSW festival in Texas and as support for the band continues to grow they’ll be releasing their debut album ‘Persistence In This Game’ on the 15th February through Xtra Mile Recordings (Frank Turner, The Xcerts, Reuben…). The album’s release is followed by the single ‘Runaway Now’ a week later on the 22nd February.

Straight Lines set about recording ‘Persistence In This Game’ as an unsigned band, and with no money to bring in a named producer or fly to expensive studios in America, the band turned to their bassist Todd Campbell and record their debut album in his studio situated in the garage of his house. The band began work on the record in October, and with the help of their friends in other bands they managed to gather enough equipment to record and they emerged with a completed album at the end of the year.

‘Persistence In This Game’ is a straight-up Rock & Roll record spliced with infectious anthems (Loose Change, Runaway Now) heartfelt ballads (The Ballad Of Peter Devine, Set Me On Fire And Feed Me To The Wolves) and rhythmic riffery (Versus The Allegiance). Keep your eyes peeled for one of the most exciting bands of 2010!

Straight Lines - Persistence In This Game

Track listing of ‘Persistence In This Game’:

1. Versus The Allegiance
2. Loose Change
3. Runaway Now
4. All My Friends Have Joined The Army
5. Antics
6. To Be Honest
7. Say It For Your Sake
8. The Ballad Of Peter Devine
9. A Place To Stay
10. Perfect Mistakes
11. Oh Blue Eyes
12. Set Me On Fire And Feed Me To The Wolves

LOWER THAN ATLANTIS signs to UK label

A Wolf At Your Door Records is proud to announce that Hertfordshire area punk/post-hardcore crossover crew LOWER THAN ATLANTIS will be teaming up with the label for the release of their debut album, ‘FAR Q’.

Having spent the majority of 2009 holed up in bedrooms and rehearsal spots, writing and demoing the twelve brand new tracks that comprise this first full length, Lower Than Atlantis spent three weeks of long nights throughout September and October in a printing factory in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, recording their creations with the assistance of skilled newcomer producer/engineer Daniel Lancaster.

With work on the self-financed album complete, Lower Than Atlantis sought out a suitable label home for the release, eventually striking up a partnership with WAYD. “We wanted to work with a label that really believes in these songs and who understand where we are coming from as a band,” says singer/guitarist Mike Duce; “We have done everything connected with this album ourselves so we’re really precious about it, but the guys at WAYD seemed to really get who we have become and where we are headed, and like they would take good care of the release.”

On behalf of A Wolf At Your Door Records, label manager Leo Nicholas spoke about the newly forged relationship with Lower Than Atlantis “From hearing the initial demos, there was no question that we wanted to work with the band and the new record. Although the pre production mix was raw it was easy to hear how pertinent, modern and ultimately vital this record is going to be, we are stoked to be working with a band with such an honest and un-apologetic ethos to their music.”

An energetic and compelling collection of angular guitars, infectious hooks and incisive lyricism, ‘FAR Q’ will be released via Wolf At your Door on MARCH 29th, 2010, preceded by single ‘TAPING SONGS OFF THE RADIO’ on 01st MARCH, 2010.

LOWER THAN ATLANTIS also signed to German label, Redfield Records, for European distribution. Read press release, HERE.

Ireland's TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB sign to Glassnote Records



Press Release:

GLASSNOTE RECORDS is proud to announce the newest band to join the independent label’s roster, Northern Ireland’s TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB. Releasing their debut overseas in February via Kitsuné/Co-Op,a North American release date for the album will be announced shortly.

On the cusp of releasing a 7” single of the song “I Can Talk” overseas, anticipation of the band’s debut is building and the press is already raving. Of the song, too long with them around,” while AOL’s Spinner UK adds “ the fresh-faced trio's energetic indie pop adds flashes of African-styled guitar to the template, alongside jangly touch stones such as Death Cab For Cutie and Broken Social Scene.” Stateside the band can be heard on the Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix Remix Collection, where they covered US label-mate PHOENIX’s song “Lasso.”

"Two Door Cinema Club is one of the most exciting young bands in the world," says Glassnote president Daniel Glass. "We cannot wait tour and record in 2010.”

Prior to recording the album, Two Door Cinema Club were at a life-altering crossroad early in their career – go to university or lay it all on the line and follow their dreams. The trio, comprised of vocalist/guitarist Alex Trimble, bassist Kevin Baird and guitarist Sam Halliday, decided on the latter and took to Eastcote Studios in London to record with Elliott James (Bloc Party, Noah and The Whale). Phillipe Zdar (Phoenix, Justice, Cassius) mixed a number of tracks on the 10-song debut, and the result is an infectious and sparkling rock record sprinkled with elements of indie-rock, pop, electro and Afro- beats.

Band Bio:
Two Door Cinema Club’s story begins three years ago with three 15-year olds at school in a town just outside of Belfast, Northern Ireland. Vocalist/guitarist Alex Trimble and bassist Kevin Baird studied music together; guitarist Sam Halliday was a friend of Alex’s. The trio initially formed a rock band with a drummer, but after his departure, the remaining members realized“We were playing music that we weren’t enjoying,” says Kevin, “so we said ‘let’s write some songs, without any pretense of what they’ll sound like’. That’s why we find it so hard now if people ask us what genre we are.” Experimenting included using a laptop to generate beats. “It was born of necessity at first because we didn’t know any other drummers,” saysAlex. “We weren’t sure it would work but we grew to love it.”

Interview with Josh Franceschi of You Me At Six

British pop punk rockers, YOU ME AT SIX, recently toured the US this Oct-Nov with Mayday Parade, The Academy Is..., and more on the AP Fall Ball Tour. We caught up with lead singer Josh Franceschi in New York City to discuss random tidbits and the band's new album, Hold Me Down, set for release on January 11th. Download the album's new single, here!

: How have US fans received You Me At Six?


: US fans have been like, really cool. I found that this tour has been like a really good way for meeting people that maybe would like our band but just haven't heard of us yet. And, the crowd reactions have been in general really really good and then there have been a couple of missed places but the tour has been great and we've really enjoyed it.

: What is your favorite US city?

: Favorite city so far would probably be Chicago. We played the Chicago House of Blues and it just felt like we were playing a headline show in the UK. It was just an amazing feeling that people so far away from home had heard of our band and liked it enough to be so receptive, so that was really a great show. There have been some awesome shows this tour. Portland, Oregon stands out, Orlando, Florida was off the chain and we played a venue called the Norva in Virginia on Halloween and that's an awesome place; there's a basketball court inside.

: Do you need work visas to tour in the US?

: Yea, we have to get work visas and we've have since last March because we did South By South West, that was the first time we came to America. I think they last two years, so we have to get them renewed soon. Its pretty simple, we just come in saying we're working in the name of charity.

: What made you want to become a musician?

: Before I even knew what it would be like to have a fanbase at all, the main inspiration behind being in a band was my love for music. I picked up a guitar when I was like 11 and back in the days, it was like learning Linkin' Park riffs was the most important things to me. Then I discovered this band called The Early November and Ace Enders, and Ace Enders the frontman of that band, I wanted to be that guy, wacked out farmer jackets, plaid shirts, and I just wanted to write music like 'The Early November'. So for a few years, everything I wrote was in drop 'D' and just kinda like on the 8th fret, and it was awesome cause it sounded like 'The Early November'.

: Why did you decide go straight pop punk and cut out the screams in earlier material?

: Well, that stuff was written when we were like 15, 16, so I guess it wasn't really relative to what we wanted to do as a band anymore. When I swayed away from listening to bands like Senses Fail and The Bled and went more towards like, I've always liked driving records, but as a band we decided we wanted to play music with more melody and a bit more poppy. Our new stuff is a little heavier.

: you get signed to Epitaph Records?

: We got a new management company in December of last year and we just said send out our stuff to labels in America to see if anyone likes it, to see if anyone's interested cause we did everything in the UK ourselves. So it was just like we needed to find someone in America and Brett got back to our manager Craig ans was like this is awesome, we want to get involved. Next thing we knew, we were on a plane over here and having meetings and signed up, it was awesome. I think Epitaph is the kinda label that like they worked really well for our first record, they're the kinda label that's got a lot of credibility I feel. And it really helped us on Warped Tour being associated with a label like Epitaph.

: Let's talk about the new album, "Hold Me Down".

: We went to record the 2nd CD where we actually recorded the first one but we recorded "Take Off Your Colours" in 2 weeks and the new one "Hold Me Down" we lived in Reading for 6 and a half weeks but it took 2 months to record the CD in total. In my opinion they're (the songs) are heads and shoulders apart from the recording of "Take Off Your Colours" just because rather than spending a day on one song, we spent maybe like 3 or 4 maybe sometimes 5 days tracking one song. And it really gives the song room to breathe and to add in different parts that you may have not thought of before. We worked with a guy called Matt O' Grady who used to be in like the first UK pop punk band, Fastlane. He worked on our first CD and we had a great relationship with him and John Mitchell who mixed our record. It felt good cause there's such a great atmosphere in and around the camp who were living in Reading. We lived and breathed the record for such a long time that the songs really became really important to us and it really made us want to push them (the songs) as far as they could go in terms of being chosen.

: What would you like to say to fans?

: Don't believe everything you read in forums and for the very few that do buy it (our CD) just please keep getting involved and enjoy our spread of love.

Music Video: SWOUND! - "Predator 3"



‘Predator 3’ the new single from Nottingham-based band of brothers SWOUND! will be let out of it’s metaphorical cage on November 2nd. Three and a half minutes of fidgety indie punk, ‘Predator 3’ was inspired by a retro computer game where kids are terrified by a monster that can invade their subconscious and steal their brains! In the words of front man Joe it’s about “the insecurities and silly things that freak you out when you’re young and how they stick with you later on in life” and better still it’s a homage to one of the band’s favorite film franchises.

The release of ‘Predator 3’ follows on from their critically acclaimed debut, mini-album ‘Hello Future, Our Name Is Swound!’ produced by Paul Tipler (Placebo, ¡Forward Russia!, Idlewild). Plus, their track ‘We Are A Danger’ features on the ‘Kerrang: The Album ’09’ compilation album, which was released via Warners earlier this year.

Though the limited edition album has sold out fans can get hold of it through the Challenge Swound! campaign which invites them to submit a challenge for the band to complete, which they film and upload to the Challenge Swound! website – www.challengeswound.com. On challenging the band fans are given the option to pay what they want in order to instantly download the album. Challenges completed thus far have included; searching for the Loch Ness monster, storming a castle, drinking a Big Mac meal, jumping a cow and a 30 minute mosh.

Liverpool’s SCREAMING LIGHTS announce debut album

Liverpool’s SCREAMING LIGHTS have announced details of the release of their debut album. Like Angels will be released through Anti Records (US) on Monday, November 2nd making Screaming Lights the first new UK band the label has ever signed. The tracklist for the 11-track album is as follows:

1. Volts
2.21st Century
3. Hello Tomorrow
4. Rainmaker
5. Exit Wound
6. Air In A Lung
7. Champagne Socialist
8. Princess
9. Anymore
10. Glow
11. Butterflies

Recorded with Dan Grech at the Hospital Studio in London’s Covent Garden and Parr Street in Liverpool during the Spring of ’09, the album is revealed to Europe after building a steady and exciting buzz in the UK music scene, embraced by fans and media alike. Once to watch for 2009, the band has further established their position with a touring history that saw Screaming Lights share stages with the likes of White Lies, Mystery Jets, Late Of The Pier as well as gracing the BBC introducing stage at Reading Festival this Summer.

Gloriously out-of-step and isolated from many of their contemporaries, Screaming Lights are very much a product of their home-town. Steeped in that time-honoured Scouse tradition of forward-thinking, bloody-minded psychedelia, Like Angels shares a fair bit with the likes of fellow Mersey pop-pranksters such as The Teardrops or The Bunnymen.

Very adventurous yet still anchored in that classic Liverpudlian song-writing tradition, the 11-tracks of the album sound far more accomplished then one would expect on a debut album from a band just out of school. A truly innovative and exciting debut.

Screaming Lights are:
Alan Breen (bass)
James Connor (drums)
Max Goldberg (guitar)
James Treadell (vocals/guitar)
