| | | EVERYTHING IS BORROWED OUT OCTOBER 7 ON VICE RECORDS
Mike Skinner, aka The Streets, will be delivering his fourth album, everything is borrowed October 7th on Vice Records. Never one to take the same approach twice, Skinner is contemplating the impermanent nature of life this time around. Skinner has made a record to console the lonely and bring a smile to the saddest visage. Applying his homespun hip-hop sensibility to real instruments, Mike comes up with sing-a-long musings on such unconventional subjects as religion ("Alleged Legends"), evolution ("The Way of the Dodo"), biological destiny ("On the Edge of a Cliff"), and male friendship ("The Sherry End"). From the first time people heard The Streets' Mercury Prize-nominated debut Original Pirate Material, they couldn't make their minds up whether the person making this music was black or white, from London or the Midlands, serious or a joker. Having given the world plenty of time to get acclimated, Skinner now rediscovers his old irrepressible buoyancy and takes his tradema

Freshkills – yes, one word – are a five-piece tour guide to the lives, awkward conversations and head games that play out deep into the night in New York City’s dark bars and messy bedrooms. Each protagonist is motivated by sordid appetites, like moths attracted to blackness. Each song has the sound and feel of a mini-apocalypse.
The band comprises of vocalist Zachary Lipez, guitarists Johnny Rauberts and Timothy Murray, bassist Mitchell Jordan and drummer Jim Paradise. Upon listening, influences that spring to mind are Nation of Ulysses and Drive Like Jehu, as the band combines the lyrical flair of the former and the chops of the latter. Lipez’s red-lining vocals are infused with paranoia, aggravation and twisted vulnerability. The rhythms - though rarely slow - are controlled, ominous and sometimes hypnotic. The twin-guitar work is droning and breathtaking, and leads are rare.
Freshkills’ first album, the poetic, jarring, ‘Creeps and Lovers’ (Arclight Records 2006) , w

Multi-Platinum rockers Buckcherry have teamed with MSN Music to unveil the video “Don’t Go Away,” from their forthcoming Eleven Seven Music/Atlantic Records’ album Black Butterfly which hits stores September 16th. Featuring lush verses and a hook-filled chorus, the power-ballad is set to pick up where the band’s top 10 hit, “Sorry,” left off.
The first single from Black Butterfly, “Too Drunk . . .” has become a viral sensation and is headed to the top 10 on next week’s rock charts.
The Los Angeles band is winding up its summer stint on Crüe Fest (alongside Mötley Crüe, Papa Roach, Sixx:A.M. and Trapt) during which they played to over half a million rock fans over two months. A tour with Avenged Sevenfold begins in early September. (www.Buckcherry.com for more details)

New Jersey indie-twang quartet Carlon will release its debut full-length on September 30th, via Ropeadope Digital. The long-anticipated following-up to the band’s self-released Suburban Heel EP, Johari Window is a digital-only collection of twelve folksy rock songs and meticulously-harmonized ballads, taking cues from 60s rock, Americana, and twangy modern-day indie acts like Band of Horses. The band’s primary song-writers, dueling guitarist/vocalists Michael McWilliams and Ryan McGlynn, have been collaborating since the late 90s, when the two met on the Jersey shore. But Carlon didn’t truly take shape until bassist Jared Pollack and drummer Milo Venter were added to the mix in 2002. The result was a full-bodied sound that won the band a slew of shows in the NYC area, and the attention of Ropeadope Records.
Produced by the band and Ross Petersen (Bruce Spingsteen, Muse), the record was recorded in the same 20,000 square foot warehouse Carlon calls its rehearsal space. As

Putting some space between himself and the computer which provided the basis for so much of his recent work, Marc Bianchi took the last two years to focus on what got him into music in the first place – writing connective songs and working out the layers of sound he hears in his head. The results are a new persona, “XOXO, Panda,” and the reinforcement of the feelings of personal and artistic freedom that drive his music. Loose and carefree arrangements of guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, shakers, glockenspiel, and drums lay the foundation for his vocal storytelling. XOXO, Panda And The New Kid Revival is a brilliant calling card for Her Space Holiday’s newly awakened alter-ego, and a watershed moment in his growth as a songwriter and performer.
Recording as Her Space Holiday since 1996, Marc Bianchi creates sugarcoated dreamscapes floating alongside bitter-sweet narratives of life. He’s been featured in many of the industry’s top music magazines including Spin, Mojo and DJ, a

NEW SINGLE ‘KICKING AND SCREAMING’
Released September 29th 2008
Album ‘Memory And Humanity’ released October 13th 2008
(Join Us Records)
Welsh rockers FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND release the second single from their eagerly anticipated fourth album (‘Memory And Humanity’) on September 29 2008. Following on from the smash hit ‘Waterfront Dance Club / Beneath The Burning Tree’ double A side single, ‘Kicking And Screaming’ is a truly infectious slab of melody, expertly melded to a groove as big as a canyon! Written about the experiences of growing up in the valleys of South Wales, it is one of the most autobiographical and heartfelt songs in Funeral For A Friend’s formidable arsenal.
“I remember myself and Matt knocking down a rough instrumental version of this track on a day off in Germany,” explains drummer Ryan Richards. “It was only really a couple of riffs, a sampled beat and the synth in the chorus, but even then there was a wealth of melody going on. It's basically

He will of course be joining the band this Saturday (30th August) when The Rotted take on the huge task of playing two different festivals in two different countries in one day.
They'll hit the Elsrock Open Air in Holland at around 3pm, before travelling to Beligium to play Vlamrock Festivals where they'll be hitting the stage at around 10pm the same day!

The Antlers Tour This Fall on Material From Their Upcoming Release Hospice
EPK w/ Free Downloads, Photos, Bio etc: THE ANTLERS
"Peter Silberman pegs Eluvium and My Bloody Valentine as influences, but if he keeps making records like In the Attic of the Universe (he has five so far), he'll be counting the influenced soon."-Time Out NY
This fall The Antlers are leaving their Brooklyn homes and heading out into the wilds of the Midwest, South, and Northeast. The tour comes as a celebration of the completion of Hospice, the first full-length The Antlers have completed since Peter Silberman chose to transform his solo endeavor into a full band. (Previously, "The Antlers" referred solely to Silberman's solo work, which included 2007's In the Attic of the Universe.)
The new release marks a maturing of The Antlers' sound. Whereas In the Attic of the Universe traded on sweet melodies and lullaby-like subtlety, Hospice skews much darker and much more poignant. Silberman's eye for nuance

"The Iditarod" was made using a technique called SLAM (SLide, Animation, Movies) coined by its developer - Greg Crane. Not too different from your standard stop-motion animation, SLAM takes the aesthetics to a new arty level. 95% of the video was created using digital still photos from a professional/high-end camera. Approximately 1800 shots were painstakingly and meticulously pasted together to establish that "motion".
Birdmonster are also hitting the road. Let me know if you'd like to check out one of their upcoming gigs.

Kings of Leon are proud to announce the debut of their new music video for the song "Sex on Fire." As the video for the single off the band's soon-to-be released album "Only By the Night," "Sex on Fire" (Directed by Sophie Muller) was recently filmed in Los Angeles and is a well-crafted body of work that places the band within a brooding storyline.
Set for a Sept. 23 release date, the new album, "Only By The Night," was recorded at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN, and was produced by Angelo Petraglia, Jacquire King and the band as well. "Only By The Night" is a bold and expansive sonic statement that looks set to solidify Kings of Leon's position as one of the most important international acts of 2008 and beyond. It follows rapidly in the footsteps of the band's previous albums, "Youth And Young Manhood," "Aha Shake Heartbreak," and "Because Of The Times," all of which have quickly established them as one of the most prolific and acclaimed acts around.

SONG FROM ALBUM HAVE BEEN FEATURED IN MAJOR FILM AND COMMERCIAL AND SPOTLIGHTED BY iTUNES

The album is as eclectic as Oren's home bases of Tel Aviv, Israel (where he was born), Berlin Germany (where he recorded the album), and Los Angeles, CA (the home of his new label). It was released in Europe and immediately garnered great pre
