   Louisiana hard rock luminary, 12 Stones, has announced a month-long summer headlining trek – its first headliner in support of the May 2012 release, Beneath The Scars – set to kick off on July 6th in Merriam, KS. The run will hit 25 U.S. cities before wrapping up in Marietta, GA on August 7th, and will feature Blameshift, Digital Summer and Throwing Gravity in support. A full list of confirmed dates can be seen below.



A group that has sold more than 2 million total records to date, this upcoming run is just the tip of the touring iceberg for 12 Stones in support of Beneath The Scars – the band’s fourth studio album, and first on the independent record label, Executive Music Group. The group plans to continue to tour for the remainder of 2012, and into 2013, behind the release that debuted on the Billboard 200, and was the #1 Billboard Christian Rock album while also scoring the #1 Christian Rock single with “Worlds Collide.” The album has also spawned two charting Active Rock hits with “Bulletproof” and “Infected.”

A new single, “The One Thing,” will be released later this summer as the band continues its Beneath The Scars touring onslaught.

The Avett Brothers set to release new album "The Carpenter," out September 11, 2012!

To contact us Click HERE
   Critically acclaimed North Carolina folk-pop-rock stalwarts The Avett Brothers, are preparing to release their brand new album, The Carpenter, on September 11, 2012 (American Recordings). “Live and Die,” a moving song of humility, will be the first single from the album and is set for release on July 3; the track makes its debut on NPR's "All Songs Considered" Tuesday June 26. 

Produced by Rick Rubin and recorded in North Carolina and Malibu, the record follows the group's 2009 breakthrough release and celebrated major label debut, I and Love and You. That album reached #16 on the Billboard Top 200, and received rave notices from press that includes Rolling Stone (2009 Band to Watch), Paste (voted the #1 album of 2009 and one of the Best Albums of the Decade), Time magazine (voted one of the Top 10 albums of 2009..."The Avett Brothers specialize in epic sincerity played on acoustic instruments"), New York Times ("a highlight of 2009 for its textural complexity and subversive punky energy"), Billboard ("nothing less than a game-changer"), and the Los Angeles Times ("soaring harmonies, Southern twang and lyrics that evoke both Walt Whitman and Will Oldham"). The buzz on the band grew so strong, The Avett Brothers were invited to perform their track "Head Full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise" on the 2011 Grammy Awards, and then, along with Mumford & Sons, backed up Bob Dylan on his iconic "Maggie's Farm." Blending bluegrass, folk and punk with a rock'n'roll attitude, the quintet, led by brothers Seth and Scott Avett, continues to pen poignant and powerful songs on this new release.

The Carpenter includes several of the group's signature harmony-driven acoustic ballads such as "The Once and Future Carpenter," a song that paints a picture of life on the road, the waltzing sing-a-long "Down with the Shine," and the elegant "Winter in My Heart," a song the band performed for only the second time on the main stage at Bonnaroo earlier this month. But the brothers also get boisterous on tunes like "Paul Newman Versus the Demons," an ode to their favorite actor. 

The Carpenter is the band's second album produced by Rubin and is set to be the first release via the new joint venture between Rubin's American Recordings and Republic Records. "It is always inspiring to be around Seth and Scott," said Rubin. "They may well be the most sincere and genuine people I've ever met, and that quality shines through in their writing. Particularly on this new album, they continued to surprise me with how deep they would go during the writing process, how personal their songwriting was. They are both amazing people." 

About the release, Republic Records President and C.E.O. Monte Lipman enthuses, "This is the perfect way to kick off our partnership with American Recordings and Rick Rubin. The Avett Brothers remain both impressive songwriters and incredible performers. This record is special for a number of reasons, but mainly because the band is simply so good."

Parisian Black Strobe Release New EP July 16 + SPIN premieres "White Gospel Blues (Museum Remix)"

To contact us Click HERE


On July 16thBlack Strobe will release EP Boogie in Zero Gravity, the third and strongest in a series of EP releases this year on Black Strobe Records.Black Strobe, a phrase which aptly calls to mind a darker envisioning of airy, superficial dance music, is spearheaded by prolific musician Arnaud Rebotini. The EP builds off Rebotini’s record as a pioneering artist in the genre of post-apocalyptic electronica, as well as his 2007 foray into blues-rock with the acclaimed LP Burn Your Own Church. Rebotini does not hesitate to blend elements of both genres on this new EP - creating an addictively groovy mix of jazzy riffs and ambient electronica beats where smoky vocals and blues guitar solos are just as prominent as the irresistible beat loops that put Black Strobe’s name on the map back in the 90’s. The EP also features four stellar remixes from nu-disco producers all over the world – listen up to a preview of Elijah Collins’ sneaky, ambient reinterpretation of “White Gospel Blues”HERE.

Last week SPIN premiered “White Gospel Blues (Museum Remix)” HEREcalling it “a steamy, sweaty basement jam streaked with rivulets of disco-funk.”

A prelude to a single release in November and a brand new full length in 2013,Boogie in Zero Gravity represents the not just the next step in the journey of an electronic legend but the birth of a new, funky and uncontrived house sound that is bound to explode upon its release into the world of EDM.

All tracks on the album were written and produced by Arnaud Rebotini.
