Boxer Rebellion
Promises
Absentee/Ingrooves
ADDS 5/21/13
DIGITAL ONLY
London-based indie-rock quartet The Boxer Rebellion's album, Promises, is now available. The new album, produced in conjunction with notable producer Billy Bush, is the uplifting and cinematic follow-up to the band's critically-acclaimed The Cold Still. Fans who pre-ordered Promises instantly received a download of the album's first single, "Diamonds," a song The Boxer Rebellion will perform live on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Friday, June 14.
In addition to the release of the new album, the Promises 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 here (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.
The Boxer Rebellion took to their London rehearsal space and transformed it into a recording studio where the songs for Promises 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, Promises 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.

Transplants
Come Around [Single]
Epitaph
ADDS 5/21/13
DIGITAL ONLY
Almost 2 years ago, Tim Armstrong, Travis Barker and Rob Aston found themselves back in the studio working on the third Transplants album. The band coined those sessions “Transplants Tuesday’s” 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 Transplants style represented on their 2 previous albums – 2002’s debut “Transplants” and 2005’s “Haunted Cities.”
“When we started this band 13 years ago, we weren’t worried about who was going to like us. We still aren’t. “IN A WARZONE” is more raw and stripped down than our previous releases. In my opinion, it’s our best album.” Says Rob Aston.
Rob further goes on to note: “It’s always been difficult to classify Transplants. At the end of the day, we’re a punk rock band. We make whatever type of music we want.”

Mylets
Retcon
Sargent House
ADDS 5/14/13
DIGITAL ONLY
A collection of songs remixed and remastered from three previous EPs as well as all three glassroom session tracks as bonus’. Retcon marks Mylets’ debut release on Sargent House and serves as a precursor to the full length debut currently in the works and planned for release early next year.
"LA’s own Mylets consists of Henry Kohen on vocals, Henry Kohen on guitar, and Henry Kohen 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." - LA Music Blog
"Building fresh fabric layer by layer, Henry Kohen as Mylets births a syncopatic slow-moving beast with a thousand whirring parts. Kohen is both the architect and the conduit for every sound that you will hear on his new release, Retcon – 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." - Spread (5 Stars)

Caroline Rose
America Religious
Self-Released
ADDS 5/14/13
DIGITAL ONLY
"…Each track seems to tackle a new topic and make even the most familiar themes feel fresh." - Paste Magazine
America Religious is a 12-track collection of stories and poetry set against a gritty landscape of Roots-inspired Rock, Americana, Folk, Gospel, and Rhythm & Blues. Caroline Rose and partner Jer Coons 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 America Religious at Coons’ Park Hill Studio in Burlington, Vermont.
Rose’s songwriting stands on its own in the ground covered by the likes of Townes Van Zandt, Joni Mitchell, and John Prine. America Religious covers an array of topics ranging from current political issues to honest, sometimes heartbreaking self-realizations. The songs of America Religious 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.
