Cloud Cult is excited to announce their fall headlining tour in support of their new full-length album – Light Chasers – due out September 14^th on Earthology Records.

The record is the band’s first new studio release in more than two years and critics are already weighing in favorably with Pitchfork calling the album “…epic, millennial indie rock…” and John Richards from KEXP saying that Light Chasers is “the best thing Cloud Cult has ever done, which is saying a lot as everything they’ve done so far is near perfection.”

Northeast mainstays I Am Alpha and Omega have announced the September 5^th release, The Roar and The Whisper, one of the most highly anticipated releases of the summer.

The record, which will be available at Revelation Generation beginning September 5^th, is one of the most highly anticipated records of this summer.

The Roar and The Whisper is a passionate work of real heart. Chronicling the band’s life over the past year, the title comes from the idea that sometimes messages and lessons in one’s life are sometimes subtlety whispered to the individual and sometimes they are roared in order to be heard and followed.

The Italy based group has created a video for their single, “Day After Day.” The single is off a four-track EP, “How Could You Turn a Village into a Town,” that includes two original songs and two remixes by Anti Anti and Stabbyoboy.

National Public Radio’s is featuring The Orbans for their song of the day.

The indie band will release their debut album When We Were Wild later this fall! Having worked with producer Adam Lasus (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Yo La Tengo, Clem Snide) on the album since the summer of 2009, When We Were Wild is full of pop magic.

The Dallas Observer’s review stated “the debut…is so full of pop hooks that there is almost no discernable lead single on there.”

When We Were Wild is full of singles that have been compared to Big Star, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and Ryan Adams. Keep your eyes open for the album’s physical release this fall and look for The Orbans on tour this fall with date’s to be announced soon.

The Orbans are pleased to announce the release of their debut album When We Were Wild.  Produced by Adam Lasus (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Yo La Tengo, Clem Snide), the album is full of catchy gems that take you on an energetic and eclectic ride of pure pop bliss.

Currently, the album is available on iTunes and other online outlets, and will be released physically later this year.

Having met Adam Lasus while mixing a previous EP, it was an easy step to enlist him to produce the indie band’s first full length album.

“It was always the ideal situation to make a record with Adam,” said singer-songwriter Peter Black,. “We just waiting for the right time to make sure we gave a collection of songs what we felt they deserved.”

Indie Band Gold Motel have released the video for their single, “Safe in L.A.” The single is off their latest release, Summer House, released on Redeye Distribution this fall.

Darling Waste is giving away 19-tracks for free! The songs on For the Gloomy Guses and Negative Nancies include b-sides, live and cover tracks that the band has recorded over the years.

“We have this free album, plus a new full length [album] coming up in October,” said Lance Waste, founder and lead singer of the band. “We recorded the new studio album in england and the one we are giving away is a collection of b-sides and covers.”

Disco Curtis just finished rocking the 2010 Vans Warped Tour this past weekend and the band could not be happier with the summer tour. Crowned one of J-14’s Hot Band Alert’s, fans across the country crowded the stage to see them in action.

Having previously toured with Boys Like Girls, Forever The Sickest Kids and more, the indie band was stoked to be back on the road playing the summer away at Warped Tour.

While performing every day, Tanner Howe, lead vocalist in the band was also updating us with the newest Warped Tour fashions as a guest blogger on Ragged Magazines Blog. His posts can be found here: http://bit.ly/9GEfl7

The New Heathens’ sophomore release, Hello Disaster, comes out swinging. Hello Disaster is band-leader Nate Schweber’s sophomore effort under the New Heathens banner and was produced by Americana icon Eric “Roscoe” Ambel (Ryan Adams, Yahoos, Bottle Rockets, Steve Earle).

A worthy follow-up to the well-received Heathen Like Me debut, the record is an immediate good time rife with memorable hooks, heartfelt lyrics, pleasing vocals and old-school honky-tonk guitars.

They take the listeners through an uncannily pleasant de-ja-vu on a tour from backstabbing back home in “I Thought You Were My Friend” and hometown heartbreak in “Bastard Like Me” on the American liberty lover’s anthem “Proud Highway” to the honest pop “Don’t Think I Can’t Stop,” and keep cruising. Hooks are relentless and omnipresent on the album.

The world could use a little California sunshine, and Loomis and the Lust is just the band to bring it. The sunny Santa Barbara based quartet will release their sophomore EP, Space Camp on August 10^th.

“With all of the traveling we’ve done, we’ve realized that Southern California has a very laidback vibe,” vocalist and guitarist Will Loomis said. “We seem to use that vibe when writing songs.

In one year, since dropping their debut EP, the indie band has received numerous accolades from the press including a feature in Billboard Magazine and being lauded by MTV Iggy as one of the “Top 25 Best New Bands in the World.” They also won the “Artist on the Verge” award by OurStage.com and garnered a $25,000 prize at the New Music Seminar.

Shane Blay is a guitarist/vocalist for the indie band, Oh, Sleeper. The Texas based group has been compared to Slipknot and Underoath. You can learn more about the band here. Follow the band on Twitter @weareohsleeper.

For the past five years my brothers in Oh, Sleeper and myself have sacrificed our lives, our time, relationships, birthdays, holidays, health (haha) to travel around and play shows for our fans. Not to say that isn’t been a fun ride!

I would just like to bring a few things to our fans attention.

I would like to show you guys an average day in finances for a “mid-level” band like us. I’m going to breakdown the average monetary ins and outs of a day on tour.

On tour, bands have two ways to make money – guarantees and merchandise.

Indie Band Axium has released Graveyard Shift today. The album is available on CD and digital EP format at iTunes and Amazon.

The EP includes an extended edit, radio edit, remix and instrument versions of the single. A Limited Edition 7″ is in the works to follow later this fall.

Scott Llamas of Popsmear Records co-produced the track and the album is currently being mastered by Franco Fucili of Pennabilli, Italy.

Franco heard the promo version on an internet radio channel and fell in love with the fresh sound. He offered his services for free after some effort to contact the band.

Music can bring a sense of community among strangers regardless of nationality, beliefs or nationality, and Telepath strives to provide to the collective language. After recently releasing The Remixes, the indie band is gearing up to release their fourth album in the fall.

Telepath’s, The Remixes, is 16-tracks of re-workings of songs from the band’s first two albums and tracks by other artists.  In addition, there’s a bonus Telepath remix of a track from electronic music group Sound Tribe Sector 9.

Formed in 2006 and hailing from Philadelphia PA via Asheville NC, Telepath is a unique new expression in the current live and electronic music scenes.
