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.

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 take the red pill and go "Home"
Bobaflex has just released the music video for their first single “Home” off their new album Tales from Dirt Town.

The band was caught on film before and during their sold-out concert on October 12th at the notorious venue and the video puts a lucid visual to their emotional song. Bobaflex’s multifaceted album, Tales from Dirt Town, is available in stores now.

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.

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. "
From the M83 Myspace
I personally liked the runner up's video better
