New In Stores and On Radio
In stores 8/28:
Aesop Rock None Shall Pass
Hip hop from NYC on a World’s Fair label? You have my attention. You can listen to the entire album on myspace.
Art In Manila Set The Woods On Fire
From the ashes of Azure Ray, Orenda Fink brings us her brilliance. Listen to some songs on myspace or check out a bevy of tracks on hype.
Atreyu Lead Sails Paper Anchor
I first heard these guys on a Victory Records sampler (their previous label, they are now on Hollywood). “Right Side of the Bed” is actually a decent song but maybe I was tainted by the stereotyping of bands on that label. So new label, and a slew of hype by a bunch of radio programmers. You can listen to the entire album on their myspace.
VHS Or Beta Bring On The Comets
A lot of what I read about this band is praise for this album and how this may bring them into more mainstream success. Check out more on their myspace.
Impacting on radio:
Mae - Sometimes I Can’t Make It Alone
Listen on their myspace.
MxPx - You’re On Fire
They’re back on Tooth and Nail and apparently making old fans happy.
Tegan & Sara - Back In Your Head
This song was made for the radio.
