Brian Fallon New Album SLEEPWALKERS Available NowFebruary 9, 2018Brian Fallon has released his much-anticipated new record, SLEEPWALKERS (Island), available now. Recorded in 2017 at New Orleans' Parlor Recording Studio with producer Ted Hutt - the man behind the board for The Gaslight Anthem's breakthrough, THE '59 SOUND - the album is yet another sterling example of Fallon's always adventurous artistry and, as emotionally powerful as it is musically exultant, SLEEPWALKERS sees him once again pushing timeless rock 'n' roll into the modern era, recasting British Invasion rock, first generation UK punk, and American pop and soul into a near irresistible sound he's dubbed - with a nod and a wink towards The Who - as 'Heavy R&B.' SLEEPWALKERS is Brian Fallon at the very top of his game, now as ever pushing and kicking the rock 'n' soul sounds he grew up on into the future.

A Certain Smile Debut Second Pop Hit HOLD ON CALL From Their Debut Indiepop Album FITS AND STARTSFebruary 9, 2018Thomas Andrew is one of those humans who is pretty humble about his shenanigans but it's fair to say that, in addition to bringing the indie-pop fans of Portland, Oregon, closer together by taking over the turntables every week at the Toffee Club Sunday brunch and doing a radio show on Freeform Radio, he has put together a band that is keeping the fuzzy, jangly indie-pop flame circa 1991 (think Slumberland and Sarah Records) alive in 2017.

FRIGS Share New Track SOLID STATE + US Tour Dates/SXSWFebruary 9, 2018Basic Behaviour, FRIGS' debut, self-produced full-length, was written and recorded over a 16-month period, split between two locations: the band's home studio and Union Sound Company in the east end of Toronto. As much as the lyrical subject matter within the record reflects personal experiences of frontwoman Bria Salmena, the album is a product of years of self discovery as a unit. Recording at home allowed the band to take the time to explore their sound, experimenting with sonic textures and production, and meticulously re-working their material. These sessions proved to be invaluable in creating a sound unique to FRIGS. However, a degree of positive urgency was deemed necessary in order to finalize the process. Working with engineer Ian Gomes, FRIGS embraced the limitations of third-party studio time and completed the record with a sense of immediacy. The resulting contrast between these two approaches in recording creates an end product that is at once stark, chaotic, reflective, and manic, ultimately forming the core of Basic Behaviour's identity.
