THE CAB DEBUT #1 ON TOP NEW ARTIST CHART! 
   LAS VEGAS-BASED BAND UNLEASH DECAYDANCE/FUELED BY RAMEN DEBUT "WHISPER WAR" 
 
          Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen recording group  THE CAB made an incredible sales debut this week, with their much-anticipated first album, " WHISPER WAR," entering in the #1 spot on SoundScan’s "Top New Artists" chart. “WHISPER WAR” was recorded late last year with Matt Squire (Cute Is What We Aim For, All Time Low) producing and additional production by Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy).

          Signed to Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen on the recommendation of labelmates Panic At The Disco, the Las Vegas-based quintet quickly made a name for itself with its piano-infused modern pop-rock sound.  The Cab exploded throughout the online community,...

News - The Brightlights release '3' on 16th June  The Brightlights release '3' on 16th June


Released on Distiller Records on 16th June 2008

'3' is the cracking new single from Grimsby's finest, The Brightlights. Produced by Steve Power - best known for producing all of Robbie Williams' (good) albums -  it's full of teenage angst and emotion whose subject matter is girls who take advantage of any and every situation in a relationship (you know who you are). Intricately driven licks and heart rendering drums highlight singer Leon Blanchard's startlingly magnetic voice that sounds like a sonic marriage between Kelly Jones and Caleb Followill. The single also features 'Another Night', a rousing anthem detailing that age old dilemma  - mates versus girlfriend and the consequences of both - that twists and turns and builds to an emotionally driven climax.
 
The video, directed by Jay Burridge who won a CAD for his art direction on Hot Chip's 'Boy From School', was shot on an empty Pyramid Stage on a cold March day on Worthy Farm.  YouTube - THE BRIGHTLIGHTS - 3 
 
'3' will be released digitally and physically as a limited...

“The Great Bloomers are exactly the type of band I look for these days’ – Herohill
  
  “They astound with subtlety – delicious hooks, stunning harmonies, expert musicianship, songwriting well beyond their years and a wry sense of humor that says we’re good and we know it, but we appreciate you coming, so thanks.” – I (heart) music
  
  The Great Bloomers formed when childhood pals Lowell Sostomi and Nate Hindle, moved to Toronto and met Andrew Kekewich. The trio quickly formed a strong friendship based upon similar record collections— all three valued essential works from The Band, Fleetwood Mac, and Springsteen. Soon after the three began sharing a house, and started writing and recording music together.  
  
  After playing its first show, the band realized that it wanted to be on the road—thriving on loud crowds and live rooms. The urgency to play as many live gigs as possible, coupled with Lowell's songwriting brilliance, put the band on the fast track.
