<p>London-based indie-rock quartet <strong>The Boxer Rebellion's</strong> album, <strong>Promises</strong>, is now available. The new album, produced in conjunction with notable producer <strong>Billy Bush</strong>, is the uplifting and cinematic follow-up to the band's critically-acclaimed <strong>The Cold Still</strong>. Fans who pre-ordered <strong>Promises</strong> instantly received a download of the album's first single, "<strong>Diamonds</strong>," a song <strong>The Boxer Rebellion</strong> will perform live on <strong>The Tonight Show With Jay Leno</strong> on Friday, June 14.</p>
<p>In addition to the release of the new album, the <strong>Promises</strong> North American tour will see the band's immense live show re-worked from the ground-up, starting in Montreal on May 21 and hitting numerous cities for the first time ever, including Edmonton, Calgary, and Pittsburgh. The band will also play Neptune, Seattle (6/2); Fillmore, San Francisco (6/5); Avalon, Los Angeles (6/7); Metro, Chicago (6/15); and Webster Hall, NYC (6/20). A complete list of tour dates is <a href="http://www.theboxerrebellion.com/allgigs/">here</a> (contact us for any opportunities). The Boxer Rebellion has also announced its largest UK headline show to date, a performance at the legendary venue The Forum on October 11. Tickets for the upcoming tour are now on sale.<br />
 <br />
<strong>The Boxer Rebellion</strong> took to their London rehearsal space and transformed it into a recording studio where the songs for <strong>Promises</strong> would eventually come together over the last 18 months. Moving away from the more analog and darker soundscapes that enveloped the band's previous album, <strong>Promises</strong> is a significant step in a different direction for the London four-piece - a hi-fi, soaring piece of work that truly delivers on the band's epic, signature sound, and individual skill as musicians. From the retro-glossiness of the album's opener, "Diamonds," to the wall-of-sound that is "Fragile," to the towering beauty of "Low," "New York," and "Dream," Promises presents itself as an evolution in aesthetic - diverse in soundscapes but singular in grand ambition - for a band that continues to push and explore its creative ability with each new release.</p>

<p>Almost 2 years ago, <strong>Tim Armstrong</strong>, <strong>Travis Barker</strong> and <strong>Rob Aston</strong> found themselves back in the studio working on the third <strong>Transplants</strong> album. The band coined those sessions “<strong>Transplants Tuesday’s</strong>” with no real goal other than getting together and making music. The music that did come from those sessions, show a growth and maturity for the band, all while sticking to the distinct <strong>Transplants</strong> style represented on their 2 previous albums – 2002’s debut “<strong>Transplants</strong>” and 2005’s “<strong>Haunted Cities</strong>.” </p>
<p>“When we started this band 13 years ago, we weren’t worried about who was going to like us. We still aren’t. “<strong>IN A WARZONE</strong>” is more raw and stripped down than our previous releases. In my opinion, it’s our best album.” Says <strong>Rob Aston</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Rob</strong> further goes on to note: “It’s always been difficult to classify <strong>Transplants</strong>. At the end of the day, we’re a punk rock band. We make whatever type of music we want.”</p>

<p>A collection of songs remixed and remastered from three previous EPs as well as all three glassroom session tracks as bonus’.  <strong>Retcon</strong> marks <strong>Mylets</strong>’ debut release on <strong>Sargent House</strong> and serves as a precursor to the full length debut currently in the works and planned for release early next year.</p>
<p>"LA’s own <strong>Mylets</strong> consists of <strong>Henry Kohen</strong> on vocals, <strong>Henry Kohen</strong> on guitar, and <strong>Henry Kohen</strong> on the sampling pad. The usual one-man-band thing can get tiresome, but Kohen nails it. His style of jittery, grungy, angsty rock is the kind of sound that he probably wouldn’t want any other musicians to ruin. Using delay pedals to loop guitar parts and sampled drums, he effortlessly creates a complete band right in front of your eyes. When I complimented him on his scream after his set, he replied “Yeah…it hurts,” the perfect self-depreciating response from a lone musician whose talent probably makes him as uncomfortable as it does proud." - <strong><a href="http://lamusicblog.com/2013/05/review/maps-atlases-the-echo/">LA Music Blog</a> </strong></p>
<p>"Building fresh fabric layer by layer, <strong>Henry Kohen</strong> as <strong>Mylets</strong> births a syncopatic slow-moving beast with a thousand whirring parts. <strong>Kohen</strong> is both the architect and the conduit for every sound that you will hear on his new release, <strong>Retcon</strong> – released today. It’s no wonder Sargent House scooped him up before the crest of musical-pathfinding-as-a-business discovered the young man’s loop-based array of sound." - <strong><a href="http://www.dontspreadbullshitspreadmusic.com/fresh-spread-mylets-retcon/">Spread</a> (5 Stars) </strong></p>

<p>"…Each track seems to tackle a new topic and make even the most familiar themes feel fresh." - <strong>Paste Magazine</strong> </p>
<p><strong>America Religious</strong> is a 12-track collection of stories and poetry set against a gritty landscape of Roots-inspired Rock, Americana, Folk, Gospel, and Rhythm &#038; Blues. <strong>Caroline Rose</strong> and partner <strong>Jer Coons</strong> cover all elements from production and recording to mixing and engineering, as well as playing nearly all the instruments themselves (lap steel, cello, organ, mandolin, and drums to name a few). The duo arranged and recorded <strong>America Religious</strong> at <strong>Coons’ Park Hill Studio</strong> in Burlington, Vermont.</p>
<p><strong>Rose’s</strong> songwriting stands on its own in the ground covered by the likes of <strong>Townes Van Zandt, Joni Mitchell, and John Prine</strong>. <strong>America Religious</strong> covers an array of topics ranging from current political issues to honest, sometimes heartbreaking self-realizations. The songs of <strong>America Religious</strong> reflect years of travel, happenstance meetings with strangers, and conversations with old friends and distant relatives. More than simply words set to music, they evoke feelings of familiar stories and long-forgotten memories. </p>

<p><strong>The Mohawk Lodge</strong> are currently releasing their 4th album, <strong>Damaged Goods</strong>, in the US this May..    It’s their take on punk, and at 30 minutes even, is their rawest, shortest and visceral record to date.  Previous records included their Smog-tinged Rare Birds-’04,  Wildfires-’07 (featuring <strong>Dan Boeckner</strong> from <strong>Wolf Parade/Handsome Furs</strong>),  and Crimes ‘10 (featuring <strong>Dan Mangan</strong>).</p>
<p>A blurry mix of <strong>Springsteen</strong>, a teenage <strong>Swervedriver</strong>, a Repeater-era <strong>Fugazi</strong> and <strong>Neil Young</strong> circa Ragged Glory all come together in <strong>Damaged Goods</strong>, along with the raw, urgent atmosphere of early-nineties lo-fi rock and roll. This is the music of one man’s disjointed route on planet earth, and when focused into music, it becomes one cathartic, epic voyage.</p>

<p>"...the ultimate Friday afternoon track." - <strong>Nylon</strong></p>
<p>"...one of the best contemporary acts on the planet" - <strong>Ryan's Smashing Life</strong> </p>
<p>"<strong>AM &#038; Shawn Lee</strong> totally killed this <strong>Joe Jackson</strong> cover." (track #12) - <strong>Death And Taxes</strong></p>
<p>"...together they have a knack for crafting evocative mini-masterpieces" - <strong>All Music</strong> (4.5/5 Stars)</p>
<p>"...mixing up the decades with 80's digi-reggae, 70's soul, and haunting Casio keyboards." - <strong>Rolling Stone</strong> </p>
<p><strong>AM &#038; Shawn Lee kick off their U.S. tour in Portland</strong> June 13th to bring us their second full length LP <strong>La Musique Numérique</strong>: a sun-filled, space funk masterwork with hints of disco, soul, and reggae blending early digital technology with decade blurring songwriting transporting listeners deeper into the sonic crates from which the music was born. However these out-sound influences aren't plugged into a computer program and spit out through modern day micro technology. The instruments are played, the vocals are sung and the songs are written, proving an even stronger connection to the past. </p>
<p>Album lead off "<strong>Two Times</strong>" introduces a Sleng Teng Riddim influenced sex groove complete with unexpected synth jabs and smooth soulful vocals while a rendition of <strong>Joe Jackson's</strong> 1982 hit "<strong>Steppin' Out</strong>" sees the new wave classic taken deeper into the cosmos. La Musique Numerique's interstellar journey takes you in and out of faded memories of disco, funk, soul and reggae but never sets foot on any of these planets; never colonizes one style. It is, in effect, pure AM &#038; Shawn Lee.</p>

<div class="cd_artist"> DIGITAL ONLY</div>
<p>“Take it slow,” <strong>Graham MacRae</strong> advises midway through his new album, <strong>Dundrearies</strong>. It’s a good piece of advice, and one that he follows.</p>
<p>Taking a hand-made approach to everything from his songwriting to the album’s artwork (which he drew himself), <strong>MacRae</strong> has crafted a record of folky, thoughtful, singer-songwriter fare in the vein of <strong>Bill Callahan</strong>. Building on his 2008 self-titled debut’s introspective musings and acoustic finger-picking, <strong>Dundrearies</strong> treads similar territory with the addition of electric guitar, keyboards, and more, to create a layered, intimate sound.</p>
<p>The dramas of everyday life are played out in narratively impressionistic songs about fizzled relationships (“Burst Her Bubble”) and the struggles that come with trying to move from one phase of life into another (“Game Changer”). <strong>MacRae</strong> delivers his thoughts on these and other themes in a plainspoken, tuneful style—tinged at times with country flair, on tracks like “The Papers.” Joined in the studio by <strong>David Newton</strong> (<strong>The Mighty Lemon Drops</strong>) and <strong>Lee LaDouceur</strong> (<strong>The Little Ones</strong>), <strong>MacRae</strong> rounds out his original songs’ melodies with gentle rhythms and caps the album on either end with rollicking barroom numbers. The meat of <strong>Dundrearies</strong>, though, is a downtempo contemplation of loneliness, disappointment, and how to live well.</p>
<p>Pen and paper are never far from hand for <strong>MacRae</strong>, who spends as much time on his “elaborate doodlings” as he does creating songs. Indeed, <strong>Built to Spill</strong> appreciated <strong>MacRae’s</strong> drawings so much that they used them as press photos for their 2009 release, There Is No Enemy, and as cover art for their 2010 Record Store Day 7” release, “Water Sleepers.” <strong>MacRae</strong> plans to release a collection of his drawings within the next year.</p>
<p>With his slow and steady approach and personal songwriting, <strong>MacRae</strong> has made a record in a classic style that’s instantly relatable to people looking for personal connection in an increasingly detached and fragmented world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p id="top" /><strong>Pirate! and Jaden Social announce partnership&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><img name="image" src="http://www.piratepirate.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/463023_10150621738307707_863964563_o.jpg" width="150" height="150" id="image" alt="Jaden Social Logo" /></p>
<p><strong>Pirate!</strong> is excited to announce a partnership with <strong>Jaden Socal</strong>, a music focused digital marketing agency that excel at connecting muscians to their fans.  An artist can be much more successful when employing a combined effort at radio, press, social, online, etc to be sure they are covering all their bases and being seen/heard in all areas of the industry.   </p>
<p>Social Media continues to mould the online landscape in new &#038; unexpected ways each day, and for artists trying to cut through in an ultra-competitive music industry these changes have presented both big challenges, but also equally big opportunities. Having a strong brand, presence and marketing strategy on Social Media can be the difference between being heard &#038; making an income from your music, and being swallowed up by the roar of an overcrowded music marketplace.</p>
<p>This is where Jaden Social can help!</p>
<p><strong>Jaden Social</strong> is a music-focused digital marketing agency that <strong>connects artists to their fans</strong> using Social Media. They offer a wide range of online services, which include digital assessments, creative strategy, full channel &#038; content management, paid advertising campaigns on Facebook and YouTube, Twitter fan targeting, digital PR &#038; blogger outreach and much more.</p>
<p>The Jaden Social team is made up of an eclectic mix of musicians, music lovers and music industry veterans, and they take a personal interest in every one of the carefully chosen artists they take on. Jaden Social is currently working with <strong>Sony Music, Universal Music, Ministry of Sound and Chugg Entertainment</strong>, as well as some of Australia&#8217;s top artists, including double-platinum selling dance act <strong>The Potbelleez</strong> and Aussie rock legends <strong>Baby Animals &#038; The Angels</strong>.</p>
<p>Jaden Social caters to artists of all types &#8211; from up &#038; coming indie acts with a limited budget, to well-established acts with a following, to major label-signed touring artists requiring full-time brand management. No matter what your budget and objectives, Jaden Social has the skills, the experience, and most importantly <strong>the team</strong> to get your music out to the world and in front of the people who matter!</p>
<p>As our friends at <strong>Jaden Social</strong> put it: &#8220;As the digital age continues to swallow up traditional music promotion methods, artists and their marketing teams are focusing more of their efforts (and budgets) on Social Media, paid advertising and SEO. Yet with this monumental shift in strategy, “old fashioned” radio promotion still remains a very important component in today’s music marketing mix, especially on the non-commercial airwaves. In fact, Social Media marketing and radio promotion are becoming more &#038; more entwined in many artists’ marketing strategies; a trend that we at Jaden Social are excited to see develop further in the future.&#8221; Keep reading more about what they had to say about college radio and how we can all work together <a href="http://jadensocial.com/so-whats-all-this-about-college-radio/">here</a>! </p>
<p><strong>Past, present and soon to be Pirate! clients will receive 10% off all Jaden Social campaigns.  Just contact us first (steve at piratepirate.com) so we can put you in touch! </strong> </p>

<p>“Their love of late-70’s new wave (<strong>Squeeze, Elvis Costello, XTC</strong>) is still in full effect, as is the band’s way with an infectious hook.” - <strong>Brooklyn Vegan</strong></p>
<p>"...there's something about the way Boston trio <strong>Pretty &#038; Nice</strong> re-imagine the playfully manic, barbed-wire sounds of <strong>Devo</strong>, <strong>XTC</strong>, and This Year's Model-era <strong>Elvis Costello</strong>..." - <strong>Pitchfork</strong> </p>
<p>"...upbeat, quirky speaker thwappers that split the difference between the <strong>Shins</strong> and <strong>Of Montreal</strong>" - <strong>MTV Hive</strong></p>
<p>"The band buries post-punk hooks under feverish ranting and the trash-can clang of robotic electro... Riffs are spot-welded to jerky beats, and the whole sound hinges on a gleeful self- deconstruction." - <strong>The AV Club</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pretty &#038; Nice</strong> is comprised of <strong>Jeremy Mendicino</strong> (lead vocals/guitar/gadgets), <strong>Holden Lewis</strong> (lead vocals/guitar/keys), and <strong>Roger Lussier</strong> (bass/keys/horn). The band has toured and shared stages with the likes of <strong>The Get Up Kids, Miniature Tigers, The Thermals, Title Tracks</strong> (<strong>John Davis</strong> from <strong>Q and not U</strong>), and <strong>Built to Spill</strong>. The band has already announced several tour dates for 2013, including runs with <strong>Jukebox the Ghost</strong>, <strong>Northern Faces</strong>, and performed at <strong>SXSW</strong>.</p>
<p>The band released their debut LP <strong>Pink &#038; Blue</strong> in 2006 and followed up with an EP, <strong>Blue &#038; Blue</strong>, the following year. In 2008, <strong>Pretty &#038; Nice</strong> launched their critically acclaimed <strong>Get Young</strong> full-length album through <strong>Hardly Art</strong>, earning rave reviews and attention from the likes of <strong>Pitchfork, AV Club, MTV Hive, NPR's All Songs Considered, Interview Magazine</strong> and more. </p>

<p>Neither hell nor high water could stop them. Boston-bred blues-stomp band <strong>Ten Foot Polecats</strong> are back with a new album, <strong>Undertow</strong> on Austin’s Hillgrass Bluebilly Records, out April 30th, 2013. Playing super-charged gutbucket tunes with a strong Mississippi sound, the trio formed five years and barnstormed around the country. Playing festivals like Deep Blues Festival helped spread the gospel to like-minded music lovers from coast to coast, earning them the kind of rabid fans that money can’t buy. <strong>Undertow</strong> is their third album, recorded at Vizzable Studios in Newton, MA and mastered by industry giant <strong>Toby Mountain</strong>. They’ll hit the road in April and May then head out on a summer tour with stops at <strong>Heavy Rebel Weekender, Muddy Roots and the Roots, Rock &#038; Deep Blues Festival</strong> this summer, where; they’ll be joined by <strong>Jack Oblivian, Dale Watson, Red Simpson, Shooter Jennings</strong> and a slew of other keepers of the American music flame.</p>
<p>They recorded <strong>Undertow</strong> with <strong>Richard “Rosy” Rosenblatt</strong>, former <strong>Tone-Cool Records</strong> honcho and accomplished harmonica player.  <strong>Rousseau</strong> said “<strong>Rosy</strong> understands what our sound is about and we knew he could capture the live energy of the band.”  <strong>Scheffler</strong> added “Having recorded with so many great artists, such as <strong>Susan Tedeschi, North Mississippi All-Stars, Hubert Sumlin, Rosy</strong> knows the importance of vibe over technical perfection.” </p>
<p><strong>Ten Foot Polecats</strong> will tour in May behind the album with <strong>Molly Gene One Whoaman Band</strong> as the <strong>Ten Foot Polecats Electroduo</strong> – which entails <strong>Jay</strong> singing and playing harp while <strong>Chilson</strong> plays guitar and keeping the rhythm on an electric porchboard made from a downed fence in his back yard. There will be a full band tour in July that takes the band through the Northeast, Southeast and Midwest. Since 2009, <strong>Ten Foot Polecats</strong> put thousands of miles on the van touring the US, playing with <strong>T-Model Ford, Wayne Hancock, Dexter Romweber, Scott H. Biram, Larry and His Flask</strong>, and other killer roots bands.</p>
<p><strong>Ten Foot Polecats</strong> are living proof that music saves us from mishaps and ruination, regardless of the source. </p>

<p><strong>SONEN</strong>, the Atlanta, GA electro-pop duo made up of <strong>Keith Evans</strong> and <strong>Holly Mullinax</strong>, make music you wouldn’t expect to come from a city known for Hip Hop and Garage Rock. Yet ATL has a rich underground music and art scene that is both inspiring and exciting, and it’s in that creative incubator that <strong>SONEN</strong> came to be. The group’s deeply resonant bass lines, vintage tinged strings and harmonious male-female vocals come together to form a seductive, compelling sound that will consume listeners entirely and leave them sweaty and satisfied.</p>
<p>Following a 2010 EP release, <strong>SONEN</strong> shared the stage with artists such as <strong>Diplo, STRFKR, Flying Lotus, Dam Funk, and Casio Kids</strong>; developing a reputation for, as <strong>The Big Beat</strong> so astutely observed, “turning the kids into a sweaty mess.”  </p>
<p>When the time came for <strong>SONEN</strong> to create their debut full length, <strong>Inside the Sun</strong>, <strong>Creative Loafing’s</strong> “Best Electronic Band of Atlanta” took a multifaceted approach to the project. The duo set out to capture the excitement of their live performances (in 2012, the duo added drummer <strong>Noel Goff</strong> to the lineup to bring another layer of energy to their live show,) and combine that rapturous energy with a more intimate, alluring tone; hoping to not only compel listeners to dance, but to move them to feel.</p>
<p>“Akin to <strong>Handsome Furs</strong> meets <strong>LCD Soundsystem</strong> meets <strong>Queens Of The Stone Age</strong>, their latest EP is an eight-song strong belter, running through sullen vocals and atmos- pheric synths, to murky basslines and three-dimensional beats that’ll get you dancing and taking shit easy from one song to the next.” - <strong>Indie Rock Café</strong></p>
<p>“One thing is for sure, Atlanta, GA based <strong>Sonen</strong> will keep your bodies moving all night with their electronica dance grooves all while applying the fundamentals of Rock &#038; Roll to their get-down-and-boogy dance-rock sound....” - <strong>Listen Before You Buy</strong></p>
<p>“There’s a new wave revolution going on in Atlanta. This band, <strong>Sonen</strong>, along with a few others, are dragging it out into the light. “ - <strong>Boom Boom Chick</strong></p>
<p>“The beats thump in your chest and the warbling electronics aim to move the hips as well as the head...Through constant motion and densely layered instrumentation, the songs on <strong>Inside the Sun</strong> are immediately engaging while also taking their time to reveal all the little nuances that you begin to hear after repeated spins.” - <strong>Beats Per Minute</strong></p>

<p>“There just aren’t a lot of bands exploring guitar textures this way any more, and <strong>Tera Melos</strong> definitely fill a void.” – <strong>Amoeba</strong></p>
<p>“It's obvious that <strong>Tera Melos</strong> have come a ways in reconciling their passion for mathy expansiveness with tightly coiled bursts ￼of rock.” – <strong>Pitchfork</strong><br />
￼<br />
“<strong>X'ed Out</strong> goes even further than its predecessor, keeping the rapid-fire instrumentation but peeling back some of the instrumental layers to ￼put the focus more firmly on the vocals.” – <strong>Spin</strong></p>
<p>Truly great art is that which can't be easily understood and dissected, but immediately resonates nonetheless. <strong>Tera Melos</strong>' new full length, <strong>X'ed Out</strong> is just that kind of adventure. The songs transcend in a way that makes you want to sit friends down to hear it, not only to share the experience, but perhaps in hopes that together you can create the world in which songs like this can be defined. It hits mental buttons and flicks internal switches that you never knew existed, while cleverly obscuring the technical precision for which the band has been known. It's remarkably multifaceted, incredibly catchy and perplexing to unravel exactly how it all works.</p>
<p>"It's like visiting a friend who lives on the 14th floor of a building with no elevator, yet he has a grand piano in his apartment," explains bassist <strong>Nathan Latona</strong>. "How did he get it there? Was it carried up 14 flights of stairs, assembled on site or what? This record is the piano in the apartment with no elevator. We wanted to do all of the tricky stuff in a way that doesn't seem noticeable."</p>
<p><strong>X'ed Out</strong> is the culmination of an arc begun on <strong>Tera Melos</strong>' first proper full-length, <strong>Patagonian Rats</strong> (Sargent House, 2010) -- a supercollider of 60s pop hooks, <strong>Minutemen</strong> garage-prog, post-punk evisceration, wiry psychedelia and nearly everything else in-between. Here, the Sacramento based trio burns and simmers simultaneously while situated somewhere without benefit of location services. It's a nowhere land, <strong>X'ed Out</strong> of the grid, both inviting and daring.  Join us.</p>

<p>"A fiddle-drenched Americana gem." - <strong><a href="http://www.americansongwriter.com/2013/03/song-premiere-laura-cortese-peers-into-the-dark/">American Songwriter</a> </strong></p>
<p>"Ambition often follows talent, and <strong>Laura Cortese</strong> has an embarrassment of both. Her open-armed approach to her art reveals a determination to spread the word about folk music and dance without watering down their distinctiveness." - John Wenzel~<strong>The Denver Post</strong></p>
<p>"Technically brilliant yet warmhearted fiddling - sprinkled with urbane splashes off cool jazz and hot pop." - <strong>Boston Globe</strong></p>

<p><strong>System and Station</strong> unearth new ground with their latest self-titled release. Their 15 years pounding the pavement demonstrates that pushing beyond your limits pays off. This album is succinct, dynamic and demands attention. You can draw influences (everything from <strong>Fugazi</strong> to <strong>John Coltrane</strong>) about <strong>System and Station</strong> but they’re about compression and originality.</p>
<p>From the colossal opener “Turned Guns” the spark is lit and the album burns until the epic closer “Fly us to the Moon”. Every hook, time signature and melody moves seamlessly throughout the forty minutes. Songs like “Fools”, “I met the Devil and the Devil was you” and “Occupied” glisten with three part harmonies and gargantuan guitar riffs. “Saturday Night Friends” is the showstopper with its heavy rock boogie; imagine <strong>Led Zeppelin</strong> as played by <strong>Stevie Wonder</strong>.</p>
<p>This album showcases <strong>System and Station</strong> is a sum of its parts. <strong>RFK Heise</strong> (Vocals, Guitar) is the primary songwriter and arranger but the execution is purely <strong>System and Station</strong>. The thunderous rhythm section of <strong>Adam Schultz</strong> (Bass) and <strong>Bryan Fairfield</strong> (Drums) is honed on the album in the form of an unstoppable train. <strong>Josh Vasby</strong> (Guitar, Vocals) weaves in and out of the arrangements with colors and shades of light and dark as well as shining vocal harmonies with <strong>RFK</strong>. <strong>Larry Crane</strong> (<strong>Elliott Smith, She and Him, Decemberists</strong>) is again on board as engineer and co producer.</p>
<p>Lucky for us the long road <strong>System and Station</strong> has travelled is paved with albums like these.</p>

<p>"... <strong>Shaking the Habitual</strong> is, inarguably, an achievement. It is the Knife's most political, ambitious, accomplished album, but in a strange way it also feels like its most personal: It provides a glimpse into the desires, intellectual enthusiasms and (unsurprisingly dense) reading list guiding one of music's most shadowy duos...."<br />
<strong><a href="http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/17847-the-knife-shaking-the-habitual/">Pitchfork - Best New Music - 8.4 </a> </strong></p>
<p>“We didn’t plan to make another album<br />
We wanted to do something again but had to find a purpose<br />
Music can be so meaningless<br />
We had to find lust</p>
<p>Started to improvise<br />
to find something less predictable<br />
to let go of what we already knew about music<br />
explore what we didn't<br />
without requiring complete answers</p>
<p>letting go<br />
step in to oblivion<br />
to forget expectations</p>
<p>by entering the work process with an open and inquiring mindset, the record turned in to something completely different than it would have been if the end goal had been a finished album all along</p>
<p>Once you stop caring about rules.”</p>
<p>The Knife have released a short film '<a href="http://theknife.net/#interview">The Interview</a>'.  Created in conjunction with Marit Östberg who directed the “Full of Fire” video, it goes some way to explain their intentions and thought processes behind their startling new album Shaking The Habitual, released this week to wide critical acclaim.</p>

<p>The guitar-driven grooves and powerhouse rhythm section of <strong>Leroy Justice</strong> recall the majestic <strong>Led Zeppelin</strong>  but it is in their dynamic live performance that this band truly comes to life. We let the music go where it takes us, says lead singer and songwriter <strong>Jason Gallagher</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Gallaghers</strong> soulful songs speak to both the mind and heart, and he delivers with brutal honesty. The band takes his cue and performs with a camaraderie and expressiveness that goes unmatched.</p>
<p>The result is a living, breathing soundscape, surging and shrinking between song and sprawling jam, leaving everyone in the room, including the band, unsure of where things will go. We have a strong connection, says <strong>Gallagher</strong>, where we can play off each other, listen to each other and know where were going without talking about it. It creates an intense emotional situation.</p>
<p>On April 23rd, <strong>Leroy Justice</strong> will release "<strong>Above The Weather</strong>" on the <strong>Elm City Music</strong> label with distribution through EMI/Universal.</p>

<p>“Go see <strong>Bad Rabbits</strong>. Just do it. Thank us later.” – <strong>Billboard</strong></p>
<p>“<strong>Bad Rabbits</strong> are the coolest band in Boston. They sound like a 25-year-old <strong>Bobby Brown</strong> fronting the <strong>Cars</strong> and <strong>Mission of Burma</strong> at the same time.” – <strong>Boston Herald</strong></p>
<p> “The Boston quintet treads a fine line between sexy R&#038;B swag, rock 'n' roll soul, and alternative metal crunch. In a day and age where everybody is derivative of something else, <strong>Bad Rabbits</strong> stand alone. That's why they could very well change the game for good.” – <strong>ArtistDirect</strong></p>
