Drink Up Buttercup have signed with
Yep Roc Records and to celebrate are giving away the single ‘
Even Think’, a fast-paced fist-pumper, driven by frenzied organ arpeggios and swelling vocal harmonies reminiscent of the sound of Brian Wilson re-imagining The Velvet Underground’s White Light/White Heat – all recorded and mixed in less than 24 hours as a lo-fi gift for their fans sonically unique from their other recorded material. If this is the kind of studio magic that is conjured in less than one day you won’t believe your ears when you get to hear the full length coming in early 2010 recorded by Philly’s veritable go-to guy,
Bill Moriarty (Dr. Dog, Man Man) and mixed by
Rusty Santos, the man responsible for the sound that graced
Panda Bear’s Person Pitch.

Blacklist
To listen to
Blacklist is to listen to people who have chosen to stand in opposition. Complex and modern themes are wound tightly inside impressionistic lyrics, available to be unravelled by the curious listener or ignored by those who find themselves moved primarily by the force of the music. The band's debut LP,
Midnight Of The Century, is raw ambition mixed with raw power. Mixed by Ed Buller (Suede, Slowdive, Pulp, White Lies) and mastered by
Howie Weinberg (
Muse, Jeff Buckley, Iron Maiden, U2, Nirvana), it is a potent dose of rock and roll maximalism.
When the revolutionary Victor Serge coined the idea of a midnight in the century, he was referring to the dark pact between two of the cruelest tyrants the world had ever seen. And yet Serge is perhaps best known for his rambunctious, stubborn attitude in the face of such darkness: "the course is set on hope," he wrote. It is precisely this marriage of extremity to romantic optimism that characterizes Midnight Of The Century -- not just in the realm of ideas, but musically as well. Despite its density of sound and shadowy atmospheres, the record is the soundtrack to an uplifting journey that is as personal as it is universal. It is also a fitting manifesto announcing the arrival of Blacklist.

The Jaguar Club
One of Brooklyn’s finest new young bands
The Jaguar Club are celebrating the release of their debut LP ‘
And We Wake Up Slowly’ which hit the streets on
September 1, 2009. After recently playing some killer shows in their hometown of NYC with
The Grates, The Veils, Foreign Born and more the band are going to hit the road again, this time to celebrate the release. Take the opportunity to see them do what they do best which is play live.
Their debut album is comprised of songs written in a dark Brooklyn basement and recorded in a creaky barn upstate, resulted in an amazing amalgamation of garagey rock tracks propelled forward by
Jeremiah Joyce’s explosive percussion and
Yoichiro Fujita’s strong bassline with vocals that soar courtesy of singer/guitarist
Will Popadic’s penetrating voice not unlike the croon of
Morrissey combined with lyrical styling reminiscent of
David Byrne.
