THE RESCUES Let Loose The Horses www.therescues.com Dist: Universal Music Canada Four unique parts collided to make one majestic sound in 2008. What started as a onenight stand at a party has quickly turned into one of the most powerful forces in the LA music scene. Kyler England, Rob Giles, Adrianne Gonzalez and Gabriel Mann, all successful singer-songwriters in their own right, joined together to form The Rescues and created a new, compelling sound where dark meets light, hope meets peril and grace is found in unexpected places.

The album was recorded in Austin, Texas, and features legendary blues singer Lou Ann Barton on two tracks. Vaughan founded the iconic Fabulous Thunderbirds in 1974, and they became famous for the high-octane bluesrock sound that earned them critical acclaim in the ’70s and platinum-selling albums in the ’80s. In 1990, Vaughan recorded a duets album, Family Style, with his brother, Stevie Ray Vaughan, shortly before the latter’s untimely death, and then went on to a successful solo career.

The companion album entitled "Terrible Thrills Vol. 1" includes appearances by Tegan and Sara, Scarlett Johannson, Deradoorian of Dirty Projectors, Amanda Palmer, Anna Waronker of That Dog, Alia Shawkat, Charlotte Caffey of The Go Go's, Elizabeth and the Catapult, Rachel Antonoff, and Holly Miranda.  RIPCORDZBlack www.myspace.com/ripcordz Dist: Warner Music Canada The Ripcordz haven't been around forever. It just seems that way - Since 1980 to be precise. The band has built a huge cult following across Canada combining a lot of influences…from punk to rockabilly, hardcore and rock n’ roll (but not Emo) – to create their own signature sound. They call that sound KIDNOISe and the center of it all is Fun. Now these Canadian Punk legends return with their thirteenth album -- and it looks like a lucky number for all of us. The band keeps its signature distortion on the guitars (and voice), but stirs in a little more rock 'n roll this time around.  A PLEA FOR PURGING The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell A Plea For Purging’s third album “The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell” is a follow up to the highly acclaimed sophomore release “Depravity”. As one of the hardest working and touring bands on the planet, A Plea For Purging will be on this summer’s “Scream The Prayer” tour to support the new album which will include festivals stops at Cornerstone and Sonshine Festival. The band once again recorded with Joey Sturgis at Foundation Recording Studio and the artwork was designed by Dave Quiggle.

Welcome to Canada Kylie
May I just say I hope this is Kylie's break-through into the North American market? For years she has been one of the most important dance artists globally, but here in Canada and the U.S., most people could care less. I think with the amount of airplay and buzz already surrounding "All The Lovers", this might just be enough to finally get her a break here. And it's about time! |
