THE VERONICAS’ NEW ALBUM IN STORES SEPTEMBER 16TH
July 28, 2008
Hook Me Up , the second album from The Veronicas, is due in stores on September 16th, 2008. Sire Records released a digital version of the album, a dance-friendly electro-rock sizzler that showcases Aussie twin sisters Lisa and Jessica Origliasso ’s expert songcraft, organic vocal chemistry, and sophisticated sensibilities, to iTunes in May 2008.
The eye-popping video for “Untouched” — the first single from Hook Me Up — debuted at No. 10 on TRL’s Top 10 Video Countdown on MTV on July 16th. The video has been added to MTV Hits (in medium rotation) and The N Network, and is enjoying a spike in main rotation on MTV. The Veronicas will also be featured as an ‘Incoming Artist’ on the Fuse Network in August.
Hook Me Up represents a stylistic leap from the girls’ 2006 debut The Secret Life Of… by swapping the latter’s pop-punk leanings for Hook Me Up’s dance friendly, beat-driven feel. “It’s been more than two years since we wrote the first record so our musical tastes have changed a bit,” Lisa says. “We’ve been living in Los Angeles where we got into the whole electro-pop rock scene. When it came time to write the new album, we were really inspired by it musically.” Adds Jess: “We didn’t want to make a record that was the same as the first. We definitely wanted to create a different sound for ourselves and reinvent The Veronicas.”
GLEN CAMPBELL COVERS TRAVIS’ HIT HERE

In a legendary music career that spans more than five decades, Glen Campbell has achieved chart-topping, platinum-selling pop and country success singing everyday tales of life, love, work and heartache. For Meet Glen Campbell, his inspired, dynamic new studio album, the music icon has returned to his longtime label home, Capitol Records. Meet Glen Campbell will be released on August 19 on CD, limited edition vinyl and digitally. The songs on the album all strike a personal and musical chord with Campbell. He has reinterpreted and re-imagined both older and contemporary songs with his own signature vocal and guitar arrangements. A true musician’s musician, Campbell’s distinct guitar playing, along with the clarity and emotion of his powerful vocal performance, come together to give new life to the songs he selected for Meet Glen Campbell.

EYEBALL RECORDS SIGNS ASTRONAUTALIS
July 28, 2008
Eyeball Records is pleased to announce our newest signing: part underground back-pack hip hop artist, part folk singer, and constant raconteur, Astronautalis.
The Jacksonville native is the first hip hop inspired artist to call EBR home and we, as long time fans, are proud to be releasing his next, and to date, most ambitious record. On Pomegranate, Astronautalis, AKA Andy Bothwell, has weaved rich narratives alongside musical textures which call Tom Waits, Pharrell Williams, Beck, DJ Shadow, The Decemberists, and Hunter S. Thompson to a tea party on the evening of the Apocalypse.
So its not surprising that the record was helmed by John Congleton, the producer behind Explosions in the Sky, Modest Mouse, The Polyphonic Spree The Paper Chase and Chris Godbey, a beat producer who has since gone on to work with Timbaland, With friends like these, Florida’s lyrical genius has re-imagined the American folk tradition with all of the elements seemingly familiar and all of the compositions startlingly foreign. Of the artist, All Music writes “If Beck were a decade or so younger and had grown up more heavily immersed in hip-hop, his debut album likely would have sounded much like Astronautalis.”

The song being featured is titled “Crawl,” the first track (although not the official single) from the forthcoming “Only By The Night,” due Sept. 23 through RCA. The band has also been known lately to lead off their propulsive live sets with the track.
It’s the first new material heard from the Southern boys since 2007’s “Because of the Times,” but as one of rock’s busiest bands, the intervening period has seen them traverse the globe with shows ranging from Spin’s SXSW party last year at Stubb’s to New York’s Radio City Music Hall to the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival.
