BLUE TOFU - THE DUO OF TIM STORY

 AND ANDREA MATHEWS RETURNS
WITH THEIR SEDUCTIVE, ETHEREAL SOUND ON THE

POWERFULLY COMPELLING ALBUM ‘OUR ROOM’

The songwriter, DJ and producer of digital music known as Josh One has released his latest single, “Wrong Way,” featuring Shana Halligan of Bitter:Sweet. The track, dropping October 14th, has been published on the Plug Research Records music label, which sports such popular acts as Boom Clap Bachelors, Coultrain, and Mwahaha. Dark, jazzy, and unstoppably stylish, “Wrong Way” by Josh One is an electronica anthem sure to snare fans of every music genre.

Ian Thompson of Cricket Cemetery emerged from the fertile DC underground music/art scene and began his label pressing custom vinyl for punk and hardcore bands like The Shirks, Thick Skin, Beasts of No Nation, Dealbreaker and others. But Thompson is a musical polymath and he has proven it by signing local hip hop artists Uptown XO and Sean Born, avant garde duo Janel & Anthony, poppy folk duo Paint Branch, shoegazey The Tender Thrill, punkers Loud Boyz, grind metal band Purge, newcomers Putrisect, cerebral indie rock band Passing Phases and garage punks Highway Cross. Ian elaborates: "I can't comment on the importance of local music scenes. I've never really belonged to one, nor do I care. I grew up in hardcore, punk, hip hop and indie rock but I claim no affiliation. I affiliate myself with what I know and what I live for. I do what I want, and I all I want is to put out records for the bands I like and not starve to death in the process. Cricket Cemetery welcomes you."

(Lodi, CA) - Post-hardcore band A Skylit Drive has revealed an acoustic video of their song "Save Me Tragedy." The tune is off their newest album Rise that was released last year via Tragic Hero Records and mark's the group's fourth full-length. The record was produced by Cameron Mizell (Sleeping with Sirens, Memphis May Fire), Kit Walters (Letlive, He Is Legend, Alesana), Mitch Marlow (Filter, In This Moment) and Jim Wirt (Incubus, Something Corporate, The Rocket Summer).

Following his Top 10 collaboration with Adventure Club on “Unleash,” Colombian-born David Solano is giving away his latest track “Hercules”--a massive big room banger that's fit for the gods.

LOS ANGELES - Kalimba Music (www.kalimba-music.com), the newly re-launched label by legendary Earth, Wind & Fire founder Maurice White, follows the success this past summer of keyboardist Greg Manning – the first artist on its roster – with the signing of powerhouse NYC-based contemporary jazz saxophonist and vocalist Paula Atherton.

NORWAY - Khold, Norway's premier exponent of groove-laden, grim black metal, has released a new video offering a track by track breakdown, courtesy of drummer Sarke, outlining the motivations behind the music and what to expect from each song on its new album, Til Endes, out now on Peaceville Records.

The composers of electronic music known around the world as Bemet have released their self-titled EP, “Bemet.” The extended-play record contains five original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 15 minutes. It has been proudly published on the InchPerSecond Records independent music label, entirely without financial support from the corporate music industry. Innovative, colorful, infinitely danceable and alive with sonic textures, “Bemet” by Bemet is the latest EDM record to prove that Israel's electronic music culture produces some of the best in the world.

Rather than naming names, Bemet cite as main artistic influences whole categories of music, including rock, jazz, psychedelia and experimental music, but their actual style belongs to more specific modern categories such as bass music, drum-&-bass, and breaks. The five tracks offered on “Bemet” showcase them as an act which utilizes elements of each to elicit various effects. Their aggressive overtones and tribal, yet sophisticated drums are akin to those found in rock and jazz, respectively. Their opening intro track, “Saboye,” is both psychedelic and experimental in nature, a fitting primer for the rest of the record. They are known in Israel and abroad as a vivifying live performance group.

Bemet are Hod Moshonov and Amir Bresler, composers who blend acoustic and electronic instrumentation for a top-shelf sound that has been turning heads internationally. Prior to Bemet's official formation in 2013, both Moshonov and Bresler enjoyed years of success as solo artists respectively. Amir Bresler toured the world with famous bassist, singer and composer Avishai Cohen, and has shared the stage with such talents as Daniel Zamir, Alon Olearchick and Shlomo Gronich. Hod Mosohonov, a widely respected composer in the Israeli electronica underground, himself, has collaborated with artists including Yossi Fine, Terri Lyne Carrington, Matti Caspi, and others.

Bemet's official bio describes them as having together “developed a language based primarily on rhythms, melodies and harmonies,” and an “open sense of humor.” “They combine their personal interpretations and thus form an honest and touching statement out of true, modern music,” it states. Bemet have already collaborated with such names as Laroz, MC Rebel Sun and Ruslan Sirota.

“Bemet” by Bemet is available online worldwide. Get in early.

Knitting Factory Record Release Show 11/14

"The Living Kills look, on the surface, like any other New York indie band waiting for its big break into the mainstream, but after one listen to 'Angels Without Faces,' it becomes evident that's not the case. Organs, synthesizers, ticking clocks and smoky male-and-female vocals make the group stand out from its peers." Magnet Magazine

Fall Tour Dates Announced

Since releasing their self-titled debut in 2007, Boston's The Grownup Noise has evolved into a rousing and innovative pop-music outfit, bridging the gap between americana and indie music. With lyrics written by guitarist/songwriter Paul Hansen and arrangements and instrumentation by the band as a whole, The Problem with Living in the Moment (out October 28th) came together easily despite being their most ambitious album to date. Music journalist Jed Gottlieb of the Boston Herald writes “…took three long years to follow up This Time with Feeling. I forgive them. You will too, once you hear the music.” The songs focus on perception vs. reality, the creative process and the struggle to integrate life, family and music into a coherent whole.
