The Flesh - Fire Tower
On The Flesh’s new LP Firetower, this “fearless quartet” (Blogcritics) expands on and experiments with its sound, for an addictive set of alluring art-pop anthems: Switching up the boy/girl vocal attack of their debut, it spotlights the passionate vocals of keyboardist Gabriella Zappia; building beyond the signature “punk-goes-R&B” sound of their early work, it adds driving, melodic punk, sly rhythmic changeups and key changes, searing guitars, and sweeping pop melodies. Tied together with an elliptical narrative thread of illicit love, Firetower’s diverse 11 songs trace an emotional journey through innocence and towards experience...

Watchers - Vampire Driver
An incendiary blast of soul, punk, funk and subterranean rock, WATCHERS combine mile-deep grooves, no-wave skronk, dub experimentation and soul-drenched strings into a full-on dance party. This wildly inventive debut zigzags across genres with expert precision, creating a sound that unifies the jagged intensity of Chicago rock with the booty-shaking push of funk. Angular guitar textures interlock with sweatbox rhythms in a completely organic way; dissonance resolves itself in the groove. It's time to party... to the rooftops!
Reviews
If “Neo-no-wave” sounds too awkward, let’s just say that this five-piece out of Chicago is what to listen to when you’re bored of[Insert dance-punk band here]. Watchers’ blend of arrhythmic drums, funkheavy bass and shrieks of delight will make Vampire—even come December—one of the most original albums of the year - URB magazine, April 2007 |

| RYE COALITION |
 |
Curses
Moving away from the wild-eyed lunatic rock n’roll that defined their earliest releases, RYE COALITION (with help from superstar producer Dave Grohl) turn out a set of sleek, razor-sharp rockers that cross-breed THE STOOGES with AC/DC. The Coalition is still willing to cut loose! – Amelia Raitt, eMusic
Includes 3 remastered tracks from the Chariots on Fire EP, plus bonus DVD with behind the scenes tour and studio footage!

| THE FIGGS |
 |
Follow Jean Through The Sea
As they commemorate nearly two decades together with their 10th album, following up a record that broadened their boundaries as a power-pop band (2004's Palais), THE FIGGS get back to the fundamentals: guitar, bass, drums--and more guitar. Punching out 10 songs of power-chord pleasure, the three-piece from New York state plunders '70s proto-punks like the Buzzcocks and the Only Ones, authenticating their veteran status while holding on to a youthful enthusiasm.

| THE LITTLE KILLERS |
 |
A Real Good One
THE LITTLE KILLERS haven't changed much on their second record A Real Good One. New producer Jim Diamond (DIRTBOMBS, WHITE STRIPES) has given their sound a looser and more relaxed feel, but this NYC trio still makes a pretty sweet rock n’roll racket replete with snotty vocals, pounding tempos, and wailing guitar solos.
THE LITTLE KILLERS remain all killer and no filler.” – Tim Sendra, All Music Guide

| VICTORY AT SEA |
 |
All Your Things Are Gone
The amazing fifth full-length album from Boston’s VICTORY AT SEA is simultaneously bleak, playful, and enraged…quite possibly the darkest and most compelling record to date from Mona Elliott and company. According to eMusic, it’s “bewitching!”
