Watch A Twin Atlantic Fan-Shot Video

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Scottish rockers Twin Atlantic have begun to arrive stateside. With a string of buzzed about performances at this year’s CMJ Marathon, the band is prepping a return to the US for a proper first national tour.

The band’s latest album Vivarium is available digitally now and will be released via Red Bull Records in the early part of 2010.

Check out this widget that was put together by our online creative team. It features an entirely fan shot video for the band’s song “Old Grey Face.” The band invited everyone out to their show at Studio 24 overseas and asked them to shoot the performance. All of these fan clips where then put together to make a video.

The release of Vivarium is something The Syndicate’ entire team will be a part of in some capacity, street marketing, online street marketing, online publicity, radio, and online creative design. Go Team!

Thursday Sign With Epitaph, Will Release New Album In The Spring

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

NJ post-hardcore band THURSDAY have inked a record deal with Epitaph Records.

Thursday frontman, Geoff Rickly had the following to say.

“One of our biggest concerns was that we find a situation where we could be free to just be Thursday. Epitaph have continually voiced their desire to help us become the band that WE have always wanted to be. It’s a great feeling to have a label encourage you to be more socially conscious and politically active. It’s a great feeling to have a label owner push you to explore the most experimental and challenging aspects of your band’s music instead of dissuading you. It’s a truly great feeling to be working with a label that all of our friends have had so many great experiences with.”

Thursday will still release their forthcoming split EP with Japanese band Envy on Temporary Residence this fall but the band is already planning on putting out their 5th studio album in the spring of 2009.

MP3: Stereophonics | “My Friends”

Monday, September 8th, 2008

MP3: Stereophonics :: “My Friends” from Pull The Pin
Go get Adobe Flash Player!

It’s going to be a pretty hectic fall for STEREOPHONICS. Over the next few months we will see The UK trio unleash a slew of new music upon us here in the states as well as their first US tour in nearly 3 years. So say there might be some saturation from Kelly Jones, Richard Jones, and Javier Weyler is an understatement.

First up will be their album, Pull The Pin which comes out on September 9th. Though the album has already be out overseas for the last year, it never got a proper release stateside (mostly in part because the band’s previous label, V2 closed its doors) and will be the band’s first album released here since 2005.

United Nations Look Similar To The Bank Robbers From Point Break

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Well, maybe their similarities end with just the press photos, you can be the judge of that. UNITED NATIONS are a hard/grindcore side project. There’s been speculation as to who is actually in this band for months.

The only actual member in the band we know of is Thursday frontman Geoff Rickly. Rickly has become the unofficial spokesperson/leader of the band since the rest of them are under contract with different labels and therefore haven’t revealed their true identities, let alone given interviews.

But after a quick browse of some message boards, the same few recurring bands/names come up – Daryl Palumbo (Head Automatica, Glassjaw), members from Converge, as well as members from The #12 Looks Like You and Made Out Of Babies all get mentions. Though we may never know the true identity of this band, we have one thing going for us…some new music! Their new album is streaming on the band’s Myspace page and on September 9th, we can all have it in our hands thanks to Eyeball Records.

STREAM: United Nations via Myspace.

You can check out a tracklisting of the record after the jump. (more…)
