Escape The Fate Reveals Album Title & 11/2 Release Date

By drainu182 , Tags :

DGC/Interscope Records rock band Escape the Fate (singer Craig Mabbitt, bassist Max Green, guitarist Monte Money and drummer Robert Ortiz) has revealed that their eagerly anticipated major label debut will be self-titled and unleashed on November 2nd.

Max explains, “We’re making our mark on the world 100% through blood sweat and tears and so we felt we should set it in stone by self titling our album.”

The first track, “Massacre,” from Escape The Fate premiered this weekend on MySpace and received over 200,000 page views in just 48 hours. It is available on iTunes, and can be heard via: http://interscope.edgeboss.net/download/interscope/escapethefate/audio/massacre.mp3. The pummeling song gives fans an electrifying mouthful of what’s to come. Max offers, “We chose “Massacre” as a street track for the fans because it is full force and us at our peak. Right out the gate it makes you wanna get up and break something!”

The band’s forthcoming third album was produced by Don Gilmore (Bullet For My Valentine, Linkin Park). Escape The Fate blends metal licks with pop melodies and soaring guitar solos with anthemic choruses into an epic sound only hinted at on the band’s previous discs: 2008’s This War Is Ours and 2006’s Dying Is Your Latest Fashion. The album’s rousing first official single, “Issues,” will impact at radio this month.

“There are no more questions about who we are. This album is us, through and through,” says Monte. “Every member has grown, and we’re waving our flag. Welcome to fucking Escape The Fate.” Max adds, “Our record will be the cure for the modern day music epidemic. We are wiping the slate clean and re-writing rock music as you know it!”

Known for their incendiary live shows embracing the raucous Sin City lifestyle, Escape The Fate hits the road this fall as direct support to Bullet For My Valentine.

Shakira Announces New Album Sale el Sol/The Sun Comes Out

By drainu182 , Tags :

Shakira’s (Epic Records) global hit “Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)” has become the best-selling World Cup song in history. “Waka Waka” will be available on her forthcoming album Sale el Sol/The Sun Comes Out, scheduled to be released on October 19th. After selling an astounding two million singles, “Waka Waka” is the biggest World Cup song ever released, however its success goes far beyond its popularity as a song, the song and accompanying dance has become a cultural and viral phenomenon.

The official video for “Waka Waka” has seen over 170 million YouTube hits making it the #4 most watched video of all time and the #3 most watched music video. Including unofficial “Waka Waka” videos, the total cumulative views are over 350 million. The track was also the soundtrack to Shakira’s hugely successful 1Goal campaign in which Shakira devised the now-famed “Waka Waka” dance and tasked her fans around the world to “dance for 1Goal” and upload their “Waka Dance” videos to spread the word for education. Fans in overwhelming numbers made videos and uploaded them to YouTube with flash-mobs popping up across the world – together gathering more than 400 million views and helping to promote 1Goal’s campaign for universal education. Check out some of the “Waka Waka” dance highlights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ek8hBNgUOU

On the heels of the momentous success of “Waka Waka,” Shakira is set to release her new single “Loca” in Spanish and English featuring UK phenomenon Dizzee Rascal and Dominican hip-hop artist El Cata (on the English and Spanish respectively). Recorded in the Dominican Republic, Shakira brings her signature fusion of musical identities to this production of “Loca” by blending the horn-heavy elements of meringue with a synthesis of techno percussions laid out to a dance back beat. “Loca” is Shakira’s interpretation of El Cata’s song “Loca Con Su Tiguere.”

For the “Loca” video, Shakira took to the streets of Barcelona, with Dizzee Rascal and a handheld camera, as the backdrop for “Loca.” In an attempt to capture the true interpretation of the song, Shakira opted to go away from the traditional big production music video to portray a spirited, fun-filled day being ‘loca’ in the streets with the people of Barcelona.

“Barcelona is one of my favorite cities and has become a second home to me,” said Shakira. “The video is just about having fun and being real in this amazing place with real people.”

Juke Kartel Is Ready to Rock the States with Debut Album Levolution

By drainu182 , Tags :

Honed amidst the underground club scene of Melbourne, Juke Kartel has arrived on U.S. soil ready to rock. In little more than four years, the five-member band has gone from local heroes to fast-rising stars – opening for Nickelback and Slash and sharing the stage with everyone from Ozzy Osbourne to Fergie. This summer they opened the Australian leg of Slash’s world tour and on September 28th will introduce their own brand of rock to stages across America.

Levolution, their Carved Records debut, was produced by Brian Virtue (Jane’s Addiction, Velvet Revolver, 30 Seconds to Mars) and Rick Parashar (Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Nickelback). The album features a half-dozen freshly penned tracks- including the melodic first single “If Only” – and six from the band’s 2009 Australian CD, Nowhere Left to Hide, remixed by Dan Korneff (My Chemical Romance, Cavo). With its overarching theme of personal growth and “the journey we’re all on,” says vocalist/lyricist Toby Rand, Levolution finds musical symmetry in its strong hooks, multi-textured instrumentals and passionate vocals. And as the album is more than just your typical rock record, Juke Kartel is not just a rock band: “We’re more than just band-mates; we’re a family that chose each other.”

Visit JukeKartel.com to find out more about the band and their music. Levolution is available for pre-order now on Amazon.

April Smith and the Great Picture Show To Play US Open September 8th

By drainu182 , Tags : ,

April Smith and the Great Picture Show will bring their swinging, juke joint swagger to one of the biggest stages in sports on Sept. 8, when they perform at the 2010 U.S. Open, in Flushing, NY.

The New York Post declares Smith “adorable, quirky, and the owner of a voice that could cure depression,” in their PopWrap blog, adding that, “April makes the world a better place. Period.” That makes the Brooklyn-based quintet the perfect act for the tennis tournament that boasts the slogan, ‘It Must Be Love’ – they play on the U.S. Open’s Baseline Stage, Wednesday, Sept. 8, at 6pm.


The National Football League are also fans of the five piece, and will be featuring their cover of Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me” in a television campaign kicking off this month promoting a new line of fashionable NFL clothing for women. In the commercials, wives of NFL players throw their husband’s jerseys back at them with April Smith and the Great Picture Show playing as the soundtrack.

Audiences nationwide are hearing April Smith and the Great Picture Show on their new single “Terrible Things,” which is currently being featured in promos for the hit Showtime television series Weeds. Smith’s song “Wow and Flutter” can also be heard in a Colgate Wisps commercial.

“Terrible Things” is the lead track from the band’s new release Songs for a Sinking Ship, and is already impacting at AAA radio, where it’s gained early support from stations including KEZE (Spokane, WA), KPND (Sandpoint, ID), KCLC (St. Louis, MO), KPIG (Monterey, CA) and WCBE (Columbus, OH). A video for the track will be released this fall.

    Buy Songs for a Sinking Ship on CD or iTunes

Labeled one of the New York Post’s ’10 Musicians to Watch in 2010,’ Paste magazine hails April Smith “quite the burlesque bad girl… packing a sound full of sassy hooks and swinging rhythms.” “April Smith was born to be an entertainer,” agree NPR. “She radiates sunny energy and stage-ready sauciness.”

Find out for yourself – catch April Smith and the Great Picture Show live:

Sept. 2 Washington DC DC9
Sept. 3 Teaneck, NJ Mexicali Live

GENRE BENDING DUO CHIDDY BANG SET TO RELEASE “THE PREVIEW” ON OCTOBER 12TH

By drainu182 , Tags :

Genre bending duo Chiddy Bang, comprised of rapper Chiddy and producer Xaphoon Jones, are set to digitally release a prequel to their forthcoming debut album entitled “The Preview” on October 12th. “The Preview” is an eight song album and documents the incredible journey the group has had over the last year, starting from underground dorm parties and graduating to performances at the biggest festivals in the world including Glastonbury, Lollapalooza and headlining their very own tour across the nation.

Based on feedback from fans wanting new material from the group, Chiddy Bang opted to quench their thirst with the forthcoming release. Xaphoon explains, “The main purpose of this release is to give our fans some new music while we finish recording our debut album, “The Swelly Life.” It’s called “The Preview” because it gives listeners a glimpse of what’s to come on Swelly.”

After meeting at Drexel University in 2008 as freshman students, the multi-talented duo uploaded a mixtape entitled “The Swelly Express” onto their MySpace page. The album spread like wildfire and led to over 100,000 downloads in less than a month. After signing to Parlaphone/Virgin Records, the band released their debut single, the MGMT sampling hit “Opposite of Adults” earlier this year. The track quickly moved up the charts across the world selling almost 200,000 singles in the US alone, over 120,000 in the UK and has gone platinum in Australia. The video for “Opposite of Adults” presently has over 6 million views on YouTube. Every other video the group has put up online has been rapidly consumed by fans wanting more.

Hip hop heavyweights have given their approval of the group as well. Kanye West blogged about them while Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Kid Cudi and Three 6 Mafia have invited them to support their live shows. Since then, Chiddy Bang has experienced a whirlwind of sorts – worldwide tours, sold out headline shows and early media support from print outlets like Spin, Nylon and Interview as well as online support from major sites MySpace and AOL and video channels such as MTV. Based on their grueling schedule and promotional commitments, the duo has had little time to fulfill their vision for their debut album. “The Preview” is an appetizer while the band use the next few months to finish recording their debut album, “The Swelly Life” due for release in early 2011.

Recorded over the last 6 months, “The Preview” is an insightful look into the many things the band have experienced over the last year as well as the personal battles they have experienced by being thrown into the limelight so quickly. This prequel features an accomplished breadth of styles and some amazing collaborations including Pharrell, who co-produced a song “The Good Life;” Q-Tip is featured on the fierce dance floor friendly jam “Here We Go” and Darwin Deez, who is featured on the manic electro “Bad Day.”

The Preview is sure to cement Chiddy Bang’s status as hip hop’s brightest musical prospects. Tracklisting as follows:

The Good Life (co-produced by Pharrell)
Truth
Opposite Of Adults
Here We Go (ft Q-Tip)
All Things Go
Nothing On We
Bad Boy (ft Darwin Deez)
Old Ways

DAS RACIST UNITES WITH DIPLO AND MAD DECENT FOR SECOND MIXTAPE THIS YEAR

By drainu182 , Tags : , ,

Das Racist will drop their second mixtape this year, Sit Down, Man, on Tuesday, September 14. But first, Pitchfork will exclusively premiere their video for “Who’s That? Brooown!” on Thursday, September 2, for the track culled from their prior mixtape, Shut Up, Dude.

Inspired and designed in the style of an 8-bit Nintendo game, the adventure for “Who’s That? Brooown!” is not merely a video but actually parallels a corresponding interactive game version where viewers can enter the Das Racist world and play as Hima or Victor. Directed by Thomas De Napoli for Enter The Fancy productions, the plot chronicles the duo battling myriad of hostile antagonists to find their third member, Dap, in order to headline a show.

A second video premiere will follow on Tuesday, September 7, when MTV Iggy exclusively unveils the Weird Days-directed clip for “Ek Shaneesh,” another track from Shut Up, Dude.

True to Das Racist’s modus operandi, the videos, much like their lyrics, embody an ingenious mix of social commentary, clever humor and intelligent style. The forthcoming mixtape will be presented by Diplo, Mad Decent, Greedhead Entertainment as well as returning partner Mishka, and will feature production by Diplo, Boi-1da, Scoop Deville and Dame Grease. As promised, there’s no shortage of collaborators including El-P, Despot, Roc Marciano, Keepaway, Teen Girl Fantasy, Chairlift and Vijay Iyer. The following outlets will make the mixtape available for download on release day: maddecent.com, greedhead.net, mishkanyc.com and djbooth.net.

The Brooklyn hip-hop crew will put the party into Santos Party House when they take over the NYC venue on Thursday, September 16 to celebrate the new release, and will be joined with performances by Maluca, Keepaway and Tecla.
