Decemberists Cancel Tour
From Their Website
"The Long and Short of It" Tour Cancelled
With much regret The Decemberists have cancelled the remainder of "The Long and Short of It" tour.One of our band members has been ill for a while but we thought all would be well in time for these tour dates. After a couple shows, though, it has become clear that the illness is much worse than we had initially realized. We need to return home so our friend can mend.
It saddens us to disappoint our fans. We hope everybody understands it is only because of an extreme situation that we had to cancel a tour we've all been excited about doing since the idea was originally hatched.
Our deepest apologies but at this time no plans are being made to reschedule the dates. Ticket holders should seek refunds at point of purchase.

The Maine signs to Fearless Records
The Maine joins the Fearless Family and will release The Way We Talk, on December 11, 2007.
Heading straight for your ears are the new kids on the block; The Maine. Springing to life in January of 2007, this five piece ensemble includes vocalist John O'Callaghan, guitarist Kennedy Brock, bassist Garrett Nickelsen, guitarist Jared Momaco and drummer Pat Kirch. The Maine was determined to do something different and stand out as originals. The band did not want to follow the screamo trend occurring in Arizona but wanted to play something new. They began drawing inspiration from 90s radio rock bands who happen to be their strongest influences and mixing it with their own original style and writing.

Who:
Blake Lewis is the popular runner-up on the sixth season of “American Idol.” Born in Redmond, Washington, Lewis started singing at age five and competed in statewide talent contests while in high school. He became a beat-boxer at 17, inspired by the then Seattle-based a cappella group M-Pact. Lewis was a member of the Pacific Northwest a cappella group Kickshaw for four years. He also recorded several music videos and wrote a number of original songs.
After “American Idol,” Lewis signed to 19 Recordings / ARISTA Records and started working on his debut album with a stellar line-up of producers and songwriters. Among the producers were Jonathan “JR” Rotem, who has worked with Rihanna (on her No. 1 single “SOS”) and Sean Kingston; Ryan “Alias” Tedder, who has worked with Timbaland; and S*A*M & Sluggo, who have worked with two of the year’s biggest new artists, Gym Class Heroes and Boys Like Girls.
Lewis’ debut album, Audio Day Dream (A.D.D), will be released on December 4, 2007.
What:
“Break Anotha” will be the first single off Blake Lewis’ debut album, Audio Day Dream.
When:

As Tall As Lions Announce "Into The Flood" EP
As Tall As Lions are set to release a new digital EP entitled Into The Flood November 29th on Triple Crown/East West. The band recorded the EP with Mike Watts over a six day period in October at Vudu Studios in Long Island and are excited for their fans to get a taste of something new before they hibernate in early 2008 to record the follow up to 2006's self titled LP.
"These new recordings are filled with life" says lead singer Daniel Nigro, "For the first time during the recording of Into The Flood we were able to let go of our perfectionist approach to recording and just play. We tried not to over-analyze the tones or the performances which led these songs to flow closer to what you see at our live show."
Into The Flood Track Listing:
1. 505
2. Into The Flood
3. We're The Ones That Keep You Warm At Nite
4. Breakers

Bobaflex’s multifaceted album, Tales from Dirt Town, is available in stores now.
Deep Elm Signs Desoto Jones
DEEP ELM RECORDS is pleased to announce that it has signed South Jersey five piece DESOTO JONES.
Instant gratification. That's the best way to describe these monsters of rock. Going big on their masterful debut AURORA with irresistible hooks, incredible lyrics and towering riffs, every song hits hard and lingers long. Combining post-hardcore elements with tender lyrics and soaring choruses, this arena-ready wall of sound leaves no stone unturned...nothing left to be desired.
AURORA was recorded and produced by Chris Badami (Dillinger Escape Plan, The Early November, Midtown, The Starting Line) at Portrait Recording Studio in Lincoln Park, N.J. Limited to 1000 physical copies, Aurora is scheduled for a worldwide release by Deep Elm in December of 2007. The record will also be available on an unlimited basis from digital services such as iTunes, Rhapsody, Emusic, Snocap, etc.
To Pre-Order a copy of Aurora for Only $9.99 Worldwide, go here: http://www.deepelm.com/470/

M83 / Eyeka video contest : winner announced !
"Aurélien Chartendrault (aka Charta) is the winner of the M83 video contest organised with Eyeka.
It was a hard choice for Anthony Gonzalez to make; lots of the videos submitted were amazingly creative, some totally abstract ! Aurélien wins a video iPod and the complete M83 discography.
He dug his inspiration in some Classic American movies which he edited (non copyrighted!) parts together for his video. "I really like those naive films, it's the perfect representation of "the American dream". I had the same thrill looking at them than listening to M83's music". Aged 24 and living in France, Aurélien heard about the competition by attending the M83 "Digital Shades Vol.1" listening party that was set pre release. "

I personally liked the runner up's video better

Album Review - Armor For Sleep "Smile For Them"
Overall the lyrics are a little sad, and a little dark dealing with the ups and downs of relationships, unrequited love, loss, and yes even fame. All the while the music is loud and full of energy. It’s a great combination and Armor for Sleep hits all the right spots. This is already one of my favorite albums of 2007. (BlogCritics)
Armor's third album is definitly their best effort yet.....Overall, I would give this 4.5/5 stars. Armor is much more orignal than many rock bands out there. I was a little concerned when I read that they were premiering thier video on TRL. I just hope they don'e turn into every other band out there. (amazon.com)
2 out of 5 - Musically and lyrically there are hints of the bands stand up debut album but overall this album can be described as a guilty pleasure record. I haven’t lost faith that this band will put out the album most people know they are capable of, and when they do it will be one that people will be blown away by. This however, was not that record.
