SUCKERS
Debut LP coming out on Gigantic Apr 20. Loads of press off the EP and single
they had last year, and a lot of anticipation for this debut. Pitchfork is
all over them (Best New Music for their single, 7.9 for the EP), as is NME
(top 10 most talked about bands at CMJ this year), were on Rolling Stone's
Hot List this summer... Chris Zane (TV on the Radio, Walkmen, Passion Pit)
produced the record in New York.
MILES BENJAMIN ANTHONY ROBINSON
New album released Saddle Creek October 20th. Popmatters.com gives it 7 out
of 10: "Whenever an artist upgrades from a rough, ramshackle debut to a
polished sophomore album, they run the risk of losing that initial charm
that won them fans in the first place. Thankfully, Robinson avoids this
pitfall despite an album spit-shined with Saddle Creek¹s dollars. At the
risk of sounding terribly cliche, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson is the
real thing. Whether he¹s recording on four tracks or 24, his passion, grit,
and authenticity punch right through. And if he happens to kickstart some
sort of Tom Petty revival, I¹m ready for it." Just finished tour with
Warpaint and These United States this Fall. Has supported Black Kids, Tilly
and the Wall, Dr. Dog, TV on the Radio and Damien Jurado. Previous album on
Say Hey Records was recorded by Chris Taylor of Grizzly Bear with
contributions from TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone.

"Following the demise of her previous band, Beat the Devil, Ray has struck
out on her own, further showcasing her seemingly indestructible vocal
chords. She screams, growls, and snarls her way through the screeching muck
of oil-stained garage rock and backwoods blues, cresting just above the
waves of a sonic tumult that threatens to consume her minuscule frame. This
tenuous command of a raucous sound makes for a volatile breed of rock and
roll." - New Yorker. Read more here: http://www.shilparay.com/press.php or
listen to tunes on her recently Daytrotter Session.
