No Sleep Signs Double Vision! The First Hip Hop Act On The Label!
No Sleep Records is proud to welcome the first hip-hop act to the family, Double Vision. The group features twin brothers Johnathon and Jared Lindsay. Mackamillion and Mackmore, as they are dubbed, have been compared to duos such as Kriss Kross, Camp Lo, Little Brother, Outkast, and hyped Chicago-based The Cool Kids. Double Vision addresses the issues of the common folk, rather than the "iced out jewels" or drug dealer stories which our ears are currently saturated with. "We like to set trends for what should and shouldn't be. We're not gangsters, we're more like a funky twist of backpackers and macks," Mackamillion says.
Look for the group's debut EP available later this year from No Sleep Records. 'Til then, check the brothers out at Double Vision on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads.
MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA Ninth Chapter Video Premiere on ShockHound
Manchester Orchestra and Favorite Gentlemen are proud to present “Tony The Tiger” on ShockHound.
ShockHound - Shock TV - Tony The Tiger (ShockHound Exclusive)
The full-album series concept was conceived by the Emmy Award winning directing team of Clay Lipsky and Jason Bognacki of Destroy Rock Music Inc., whom also directed “I Can Barely Breathe” from the band’s debut I’m Like a Virgin Losing a Child.
Lipsky notes that the vision behind the videos are to “create a cinematic collage of decaying film and lost memories intertwined with a loose narrative about a young woman on a surreal journey to find what she is missing.” The videos to follow will continue to discover the many layers hiding within the new record.
