Rat A Tat Tat
www.arts-crafts.ca/jasoncollettDist: EMI Music Canada  Rat A Tat Tat took shape in a dilapidated garage in Toronto's East End (owned by Carlin Nicholson of Zeus) during the summer of 2009. In this comfy hole in the wall, surrounded by clutter of vintage instruments and recording gear held together with shoelaces, gaffer tape and indefatigable optimism, Collett worked with the duo of Carlin Nicholson and Michael O'Brien (one half of Collett's label mates, Zeus). Rat A Tat Tat is Collett's follow up to his widely praised 2008 release, Here's To Being Here. The album is a remarkable and honest example of a storyteller documenting and sound tracking his experiences and surroundings with distinct and precise ability. TRACKLISTING.LISTEN NOW! Artist: Jason Collett Track: Love Is A Dirty Word  DAN HILLIntimate www.danhill.com Dist: Universal Music Canada  After nearly a decade of focusing his efforts backstage, internationally renowned Canadian artist Dan Hill is back in the spotlight with his first album featuring new material since 1996. Intimate is a blend of familiar hits he has penned for other artists and never heard before compositions. Dan returned to the studio to record Intimate, following the powerful response he received to his bestselling book I Am My Father's Son (a memoir of love and forgiveness). "One of the main reasons for recording a new album, at this point in my life, was to prove to myself that while I'm proud of my past work, I can still evolve as an artist," said Dan. Intimate allowed Dan to sing songs he's written over the last decade, including new and never released singles, such as "The Human Spark" (inspired by 9/11); and a stripped down, acoustic version of "Sometimes When We Touch". TRACKLISTING.LISTEN NOW! Artist: Dan Hill Track: "(Don't Tell Me) How I Feel" - Duet with Liz Rodrigues  ANDREW LLOYD WEBBERLove Never Dies - Phantom www.loveneverdies.com Dist: Universal Music Canada One of the musical stages' most anticipated releases for many years comes in the shape of Andrew Lloyd Webber's soundtrack for the theatre production Love Never Dies. LOVE NEVER DIES continues the story of ‘The Phantom', who has moved from his lair in the Paris Opera House to haunt the fairgrounds of Coney Island, far across the Atlantic. Set 10 years after the mysterious disappearance of ‘The Phantom' from Paris, this show is a rollercoaster ride of obsession and intrigue...in which music and memory can play cruel tricks...and ‘The Phantom' sets out to prove that, indeed, "LOVE NEVER DIES". Ramin Karimloo plays the Phantom in the show and his co-star Sierra Boggess plays Christine. TRACKLISTING.  BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB
Beat The Devil's Tattoo
www.blackrebelmotorcycleclub.comDist: Universal Music Canada Somewhere between 5 full-length albums and a decade-long road test across the highways of the world, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club found their way. 11 years after bassist Robert Levon Been and guitarist Peter Hayes started playing gigs around their hometown of San Francisco, the duo has now started over, with a new vision, a new drummer, and the gift of a future unknown. The sound of Beat The Devil's Tattoo comes from everywhere and nowhere- it draws a map and embarks on a sonic road trip through American music; from howling front porch stomps on the Chattanooga and beer-sloshing Texas roadhouse rockouts, to swaggering protopunk sneering in NYC's basement bars.

PAVEMENTQuarantine The Past: Greatest Hits Dist: Select Pavement played their last show in 1999, but since then, they've inspired constant wishful-thinking buzz about reunion shows, much like the Smiths or the Stone Roses. Their catalog has grown with the deluxe Matador editions of their maddeningly awesome Nineties records - Slanted and Enchanted (the "indie is for lovers" one), Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (the "rock & roll" one), Wowee Zowee (the "dangerously baked" one) and Brighten the Corners (the "love is blue" one). "It's weird how over the last however many years, Pavement's become a much bigger thing," Scott Kannberg says. "This whole generation of kids discovered Pavement after we had disbanded, and made us into a huger thing than we ever envisioned. So now I guess we can tour and make those people happy."TRACKLISTING.  SERJ TANKIANElect The Dead Symphony www.serjtankian.com Dist: Warner Music Canada Grammy® award winning maestro of rock Serj Tankian is releasing his first live album that features a full orchestral performance of his critically-acclaimed debut solo rock album Elect The Dead which showcased the writing and arranging prowess of a man best known for his inimitable vocals, incisive lyrics, and unwavering dedication to humanitarian causes. With The Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra at his side, Tankian's epic songs and operatic vocals take on a whole new sense of grandeur when accompanied with a full 70 piece orchestra. This unique meshing of two very different worlds of music was a vision Tankian has long wanted to make a reality. The show also features two previously unreleased tracks in "Gate 21" and "The Charade". TRACKLISTING.
