† New WE ARE FREE home.
It's been a while since we changed our HQ, and though this version isn't the final saga, its a healthy start. It sometimes gets tough to keep up when you are busy with the pen and the pad.

We are very exited about 2008 with plenty of fine releases prepping for release and some in the chamber and loaded. Riding off a very fine debut, YEASAYER's "All Hour Cymbals," WE ARE FREE will follow with two drop dead full lengths by INDIAN JEWELRY and PONYTAIL.

† INDIAN JEWELRY, who recoiled back to the oil soaked mud of Houston, just finished up their second full length "FREE GOLD!" It is an astonishing album, completely filled with pop singles. Yes, INDIAN JEWERLY are still pissed, but this album has some serious wall-bangers! A digital maxi-single will be announced shortly followed by the release of "FREE GOLD!" on May 20th.

† PONYTAIL, fellow residents of Baltimore USA, also recently finished their second full length, though this time instead of an afternoon the quartet had a week to do so. The result? An album that has captured the intensity of the live show. Given the name "ICE CREAM SPIRITUAL," PONYTAIL's second long'n is pure sugarcane spasms while at the same time as complex as your closet Yes albums. Expect a sneak peak of the album and a digital single very soon before their album is released worldwide on June 17th.

† We are not really sure if you could classify that CONAN O'BRIEN is a rock critic or not, but he sure did jive with the sounds of YEASAYER as they played his set up a bit over a week ago. A solid performance of "2080" from the dudez...hopefully the link still works...click here.
