The album will be preceded by the single ‘Even Though’ on May 24th. Blood Like Lemonade sees the band return to form, with it being their first album since 2003 to feature Skye on vocals.  AVENGED SEVENFOLDNightmare www.avengedsevenfold.com DIST: WARNER MUSIC CANADA Avenged Sevenfold achieved worldwide success with their platinum 2005 breakthrough City Of Evil. The album featured the wildly popular single "Bat Country." In 2007, their self-titled album Avenged Sevenfold debuted at #1 on the Hard Music Chart, #2 on the Alternative Chart, and #6 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart in Canada. It spawned the singles "Almost Easy," "Afterlife," and "Scream," and has sold over a million units worldwide. Avenged Sevenfold fifth studio album Nightmare was produced by Mike Elizondo (Dr. Dre, Eminem) and mixed by noted engineer Andy Wallace.TRACKLISTING:  ROBERT CRAY Cookin’ In Mobile www.robertcray.com Dist: EMI Music Canada Cookin’ In Mobile is a live CD + DVD release from five-time GRAMMY® award-winning singer/songwriter and world- renowned American blues guitarist Robert Cray. This is The Robert Cray Band’s first-ever live DVD release. Since their 1980 album debut Who’s Been Talkin’, Cray’s unique playing style and distinct sound has become the bridge between traditional and contemporary—a signature blend of rhythm and blues, pop, rock, soul and traditional blues helping introduce old and new fans to a more contemporary blues sound.  STAN ROGERS Very Best Of www.stanrogers.net Dist: Outside  “Stan Rogers was to Canada,” veteran folk artist Tom Paxton has remarked, “what Woody Guthrie was to the United States.” When Peter Gzowski was host of CBC Morningside, he asked listeners to nominate a song as the “second” national anthem of Canada. The winner was Stan Rogers’ classic ‘Northwest Passage’, recorded two years before his death in 1983. When Geist magazine launched a campaign to have Stan Rogers inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, over 10,000 readers responded in support. A Canadian national hero and an international folk legend, Stan Rogers instigated the Celtic music renaissance in North America, performing his Maritime-style music on the folk circuit from Cape Breton to San Francisco - from the Arctic Circle to the Rio Grande River. His songs ‘Barrett’s Privateers’, ‘The Mary Ellen Carter’, and ‘Northwest Passage’ have become folk standards and are only a few of the tracks that are featured on The Very Best Of. STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN & DOUBLE TROUBLECouldn’t Stand The Weather: Legacy Edition www.stevieray.com Dist: Sony Music Canada COULDN’T STAND THE WEATHER: LEGACY EDITION commemorates the 20th anniversary year of the passing of legendary guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan. It revisits the commercial breakthrough of the second album by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble. Released in May of 1984, it was their first LP to earn RIAA gold certification, and their first platinum-seller as well. Tracklisting:  MARK OLSONMany Colored Kite www.myspace.com/markolsonmusic DIST: WARNER MUSIC CANADA Co-founding member of The Jayhawks, Mark Olson emerges with a new album that distils the essence of his gifts down to the elements of heartfelt performance, inspiring lyrics, and a pure melodic core. Mark Olson, a critically acclaimed artist whose influential catalog spans 25 years, releases his new full-length album Many Colored Kite which is the follow-up to his 2007 personal milestone Salvation Blues. Produced, mixed and engineered by Beau Raymond (Devendra Banhart, Little Joy, Mark Olson and Gary Louris) and featuring the core group of Olson, Neal Casal and Danny Frankel, this is a wide-eyed, uplifting album with soaring, ethereal harmonies contributed by Ingunn Ringvold.TRACKLISTING:  36 CRAZYFISTSCollisions And Castaways www.myspace.com/36crazyfists DIST: WARNER MUSIC CANADA If forced to describe Alaskan heavy metal unit 36 Crazyfists in just a single word, you might want to go with persistent. Since forming 16 years ago, the band’s released four records through three different labels, lost members to everything from the usual band in-fighting to fatal car crashes, and they’ve shared the road with the likes of Alice in Chains, Atreyu, Killswitch Engage, Chimaira, and Poison the Well. Collisions and Castaways is the band’s forthcoming second set and it follows on the heels of last year’s DVD outing, ‘Underneath a Northern Sky,’ and is the band’s second straight effort to feature guitarist Steve Holt in the producer’s chair and Andy Sneap handling the final mix.TRACKLISTING:  THE POSTELLES The Postelles www.thepostelles.com Dist: Warner Music Canada The Postelles are part of an ideological bloodline that connects The Velvet Underground to the Ramones to Blondie and Television to the Walkmen, - artists with unique and varied sensibilities, certainly, but who have in common an allegiance to the unabashedly unadorned rock song. The Postelles were all reared on 50s and early 60s rock and roll – Buddy Holly, Sam Cooke – these were the bands they heard as kids, these were the bands they aspired to be, and these were the bands that brought them together in high school. By senior year the guys started booking themselves proper shows, playing residencies at Bowery Poetry Club, Sidewalk Café, and Le Royale. It was during one of these shows that the band met Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. Encouraged by Hammond’s enthusiasm, the band decided to get serious about writing more songs. With the release of an EP “White Night” and their new debut full album, the band defines itself both as an antidote to the dominant trend of quirky, self-referential rock and as a powerful new voice in the classic pop lineage.TRACKLISTING:  DVAS Society dvasmusique.com Dist: EMI Music Canada Dietzche V. and the Abominable Snowman’s French touch will take you on a dangerous and sexy journey of disco, funk, and soul with their bounce-heavy set of emotional and summery anthems. DVAS have quickly garnered the attention of electro dance devotees across the globe with inter- net mixtapes, remixes, and tastemaker compilation placements. They may share some attributes with the space sounds of Daft Punk and pop legacy of Hall And Oates, but DVAS bring intense originality and innovation to up the ante on dance floor pop jams.TRACKLISTING:  SHAWN DESMANFresh shawndesman.com Dist: Universal Music Canada Shawn Desman’s self-titled platinum debut album spent an impressive 49 weeks inside the Soundscan Top 200 Album Chart and produced two Top 10 singles and two #1 videos. His sophomore release, Back For More earned Gold album certification, while winning a 2006 Juno Award for R&B Soul Recording of the Year. All twelve tracks on FRESH were co-written and produced by Desman, who is a multi-faceted entertainer.  STEP UP 3DOriginal Motion Picture Soundtrack www.myspace.com/stepupmovie DIST: WARNER MUSIC CANADA A tightknit group of street dancers, including Luke (Rick Malambri) and Natalie (Sharni Vinson), team up with NYU freshman Moose (Adam Sevani), and find themselves pitted against the world's best break dancers in a high-stakes showdown that will change their lives forever. Step Up 3D Soundtrack is the musical companion to the upcoming Touchstone Pictures dance film. The album features another smash track from Flo Rida “Club Can’t Handle Me” Feat. David Guetta. The album also features tracks from a number of today's top artists, including Busta Rhymes, Estelle, and Trey Songz.TRACKLISTING:
