TRACKLISTING: THE STEVE MILLER BANDBingo! www.stevemillerband.com Dist: Warner Music Canada One of rock music’s all time greats, THE STEVE MILLER BAND has sold more than 30 million records in a career spanning more than 40 years.

Singer/guitarist Fallon’s passionate lyrical approach has grown more personal and introspective, his raw throated vocals stronger and more resonant against the band’s pulse-pounding dynamic force. The album burns with the spirit of soul, the energy of punk, and the artistic ambition of any hall-of-famer you’d care to name. AMERICAN SLANG is the battle cry of a great band finding its own voice and using it to shout to the rooftops and beyond. TRACKLISTINGS:  DEVOSomething For Everyone www.clubdevo.com Dist: Warner Music Canada More than three decades after the release of its visionary debut, Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo, and a full 20 years since its last studio album, Devo is back with the aptly titled Something for Everybody. The long rumored, wildly anticipated album (which was launched with a memorable performance in Vancouver at the Winter Olympics) features the band's classic line-up-Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, Gerald and Bob Casale-joined by drummer Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails, Guns n' Roses). Though the songs recorded for Something for Everybody are built on Devo's signature mechanized swing, the recording and presentation of the album saw the band experimenting with an entirely new approach. A series of studies were conducted through the www.clubdevo.com site to help the band with its creative decisions, from color selection to song mixes.  OASISTime Flies www.oasisinet.com Dist: Sony Music Canada Time Flies is the complete singles collection celebrating the work of Oasis from start to finish.

I’d like to pass the torch to Tim Hus.”- Stompin’ Tom Connors Tim’s profile got a huge boost last summer when he was selected to tour with Stompin’ Tom Connors. It was Tom’s first tour in eight years and went from Ontario to Newfoundland.

Nobody captures the rough-and-ready frontier imagery better than him.” - Corb Lund TRACKLISTING:  THE BEATDOWNThe Beatdown www.myspace.com/jointhebeatdown Dist: Warner Music Canada Step outside and put up your dukes cuz Montreal’s blue-collar road-warriors The Beatdown are set to knock out their debut self titled full-length album!This hardworking four-piece outfit has a deep and unyielding passion for roots reggae, ska and Jamaican music while adding their own elements of 60’s soul delivered with a gritty and uncompromising punk rock ethic. Formed out of the ashes of the now legendary ska soul band The One Night Band, The Beatdown bring the heavy heavy reggae sound to the masses with their explosive recordings and energetic live shows. The self-titled record features twelve hard-hitting tracks of pure summer time goodness.TRACKLISTING:  THE STANFIELDSVanguard Of The Young & Reckless www.thestanfields.ca Dist: Warner Music Canada Industry buzz has The Stanfields as the next big thing out of Canada’s East Coast. Canada’s #1 booking agency, The Agency Group, recently signed the band for exclusive worldwide booking representation.Vanguard of the Young & Reckless is the first full-length recording from The Stanfields.

TRACKLISTING:  TEENAGE FANCLUBShadows www.teenagefanclub.com Dist: F.A.B. It has been five long years since TEENGAE FANCLUB's last album 'Man-Made' was released to universal acclaim, so it is no overstatement to say the new album 'Shadows' is keenly anticipated. While most bands are lucky to have one great songwriter, Teenage Fanclub are blessed with three, hence 'Shadows' is overflowing with the kind of gorgeous, harmony-driven classics you’d expect to find on a greatest hits album. "'Shadows' is full of drowsy sweetness and mellow doubt: the sound of a great group ageing gracefully" - Uncut (4 stars) "'Shadows' builds upon 'Man-Made'’s creative reboot - songs which in the fashion of mature-era Fanclub slowly yet unfailingly insinuate their charms" - Mojo (4 stars). TRACKLISTING:  THE BLUE VANMan Up www.thebluevan.com Dist: EMI Music Canada Man Up is the latest release from Danish rock group The Blue Van.

They have opened for such acts as Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, Keane, Razorlight, Hot Hot Heat, and The Pretenders. Man Up includes the following great tracks: “Silly Boy,” “Man Up,” “There Goes My Love,” and more. TRACKLISTING:  RIDLEY BENTRabbit On My Wheel www.ridleybent.ca Dist: Universal Music Canada Like Ridley Bent's past records, Rabbit On My Wheel reads like a collection of short stories, showcasing the Western Canada based Country artist's keen fascination for characters whose life on the straight and narrow rarely lasts past the nearest exit to a short, crooked road. On Rabbit On My Wheel, the 2009 CCMA nominee and 7-time BCCMA winner's storytelling and songwriting chops are sharper than ever. But where Ridley's 2005 MapleMusic Recordings debut, Blam, and Buckles and Boots, his 2007 followup on Open Road Recordings, ranged far and wide across the continent, this time out Ridley sticks a little closer to his life at home and on the road in Western Canada.TRACKLISTING: ROBYNBody Talk Pt. 1 www.robyn.com Dist: Universal Music Canada The Grammy nominated Swedish queen of pop is back with Body Talk Part 1- the first of THREE new mini-albums to be released in 2010 and her fifth studio album overall.

FRED EAGLESMITHCha Cha Cha www.fredjeaglesmith.com Dist: E1 Entertainment Fred's new album, Cha Cha Cha is like a 50's Hollywood record that collides with the late sixties early seventy's rock and roll sound and throws it into the swamp for good measure.
