相关介绍： The Smithereens are a rock band from Carteret, New Jersey, United States. The group, formed in 1980, has consisted of Pat DiNizio (vocals & guitar), Jim Babjak (guitar & vocals), Mike Mesaros (bass guitar & vocals), and Dennis Diken (drums & percussion) until 2006, when Mike parted ways with the band. Severo "The Thrilla" Jornacion currently fills his spot. KOCH Records is happy to announce the release of "B-Sides The Beatles," The Smithereens' highly anticipated follow up to their critically acclaimed 2007 release, "Meet The Smithereens." The album will be released on September 2, 2008. The album includes some very special surprises for dedicated Beatles fanatics. For "B-Sides The Beatles," Andy White, who in 1962 played drums on The Beatles' original version of "P.S. I Love You," reprises his role as surrogate stickman for The Smithereens in 2008. The September 11, 1962 session that produced "Love Me Do" and its B-side "P.S. I Love You" featured session drummer White, with the newly recruited Ringo Starr relegated to tambourine and maracas duties. Upon release in America, the A-side shot to #1, and the B-side made the top-10 as well. "B-Sides The Beatles" also includes fantastic in-depth liner notes by Beatles author/historian Bruce Spizer, as well as "Beatle" Tommy Frangione (Joe Johnson's Beatle Brunch), and the Smithereens' own Dennis Diken.

Fast Cheap And Out Of Control - HK 119

专辑名称：Fast, Cheap And Out Of Control

音乐类型：Indie/Electronica

相关介绍： I arrived back at 17 Seconds Towers yesterday evening to find a package awaiting for me from One Little Indian (always a good sign). The CD inside, Fast, Cheap and Out Of Control contained a cigarette, (Marlboro I think, I quit smoking over six years ago, so it ended up in the bin, unlit obviously). But that was cast aside when I read the press release and then listened to the CD. This is HK 119's second album, the follow up to to 2006's self-titled debut. It's the solo project of one Heidi Kilpelainen, who hails from Finland and is a graduate of St Marton;s College in London. This astounding album suggests, as if we needed it pointing out, reminds us that in the year of MGMT and Santogold, electro-influence is where music is at, as the post-punk revival starts to slip away, though the gold of that era won't be flung away. It's POP, as it ought to be, clever, sophisticated, knowing and intelligent, arch, ironic, and artistic. Hell, even the first track to do the rounds from Mogwai's latest album has a hint of this sound about it. It's as European as can be, anyone who doesn't get irony won't understand it, and oh boy, is the joke on them. Fast, Cheap and Out Of Control? Don't you believe it... If HK 119 sounds like a product code, that's because it is. Inspired by Lucas (think C3P0 or R2D2 - are we due a new RJD2 album?!), the album focuses upon themes like Space Travel, Mind Control and the irritation that is celebrity. Over the second track 'Celeb,' over a european jazz sound she sings 'I took heroin, I took mescaline...I had deep desire to destroy myself from within...' You could brainstorm for hours who she is talking about and have a list as long as your arm. There's a lot of diverse sound on here, as well as the aforementioned jazz on 'Celeb' there's cool electronica and pop. Some of this will slay dancefloors over the next year, but other tracks will be snapped up for TV, Chill-out compilation and adverts before anyone can say 'post-modern.' The Guardian has already described her as a futuristic hybrid of Grace Jones and Debbie Harry, to which I would also add Nina Hagen and Nico. There's sixteen tracks here, over fifty minutes, and seemingly no filler. First single 'C'est La Vie' makes the Ting Tings sound like a bunch of kids playing by comparison (oh, hang on...) and album opener 'Mind' should be over the blogosphere before you can say Arcade Fire. Another major shake-up to my best of 2008 list. Expect to see this feature highly elsewhere.

Funeral Mixtape - The Pack A.D.

相关介绍： "Tintype's gutbucket guitar/drums blues ultimately swaggers to its own, rugged groove. The grime and aggression are offset by lonesome saloon ballads and stretches of mournful classical piano that suggest that, unlike the Stripes' Jack White, Black isn't joking about being down and angry." -- Toronto Star "Take the sonic minimalism of Young Marble Giants, add Andre Ethier's countrified lamenting and a dash of Sleater Kinney's anger, and you'll have a fairly accurate notion of what these Vancouver-based gals sound like." -- Chart Attack "Exceptional." -- TV Guide (HHHH) "Hit me hard with a girl who can whine. Vancouver two-piece The Pack A.D.'s first disc delivers solid blues-inspired songs from first riff to last. Becky Black has the essential rock `n' roll voice: she spits, she moans, she agonizingly teeters between feelings and then pushes herself over the edge." -- NOW Toronto Funeral Mixtape arrives hot on the heels of The Pack A.D.'s Mint Records debut Tintype. Recorded live off the floor to analog tape at The Hive Studios, Funeral Mixtape encapsulates the intensity and warmth of The Pack A.D.'s musical relationship. This studio production captures the power of Becky Black's vocals at their best (especially on tracks such as the New Orleans death march "Oh Be Joyful"). How can a duo generate such a massive sound? Becky Black's vocals have been compared to Janis Joplin, and the combined duo's live show to long established acts like The Black Keys. All comparisons aside, though, The Pack A.D. exhibits an ability to present the sound and vision of the blues in their own way: brooding, explosive, and unrestrained.

相关介绍： 'Iglomat's self titled album is a Ginger minimalist threesome collaboration, via the inner space of satellite communications. i.e, from opposite sides of the globe. What does the name mean? The band don't even know, but it's not important in your mid 30's as much as having a broadband connection and pro tools. This 3 year, almost all instrumental project could easily play in any top 10 post-rock radio station.
