‘COLLATERAL DAMAGE’ COMING FROM R.A. (RUDE AWAKENING) TEASER VIDEO
R.A. is a straightforward, no-frills hardcore band from Merrimack Valley, Massachusetts. They formed in the summer of 2011 and released a demo on Arrest Records, followed by The Awakening EP and a split 12? with Death Threat, both on local hardcore label Triple B Records. These releases were all well-received, each one even more than its predecessor, which led R.A. to tour extensively around hardcore circles in the US and Canada and to attract the attention of Bridge Nine Records. Now, the band is excited to call Bridge Nine their new home and even more excited to be releasing their first proper full-length album on the label on July 1st, 2014.

SARAH BORGES’ NEW SOLO CD, RADIO SWEETHEART, DROPS JUNE 24
She’s been Boston’s singing sweetheart for the past few years as part of Sarah Borges & the Broken Singles. But, now, the singer-songwriter is claiming that title of her own as she readies the release of her new solo record, Radio Sweetheart.
The 10-track album, set for release on June 24 via Booneville, Kentucky-based Lonesome Day Records, is a return to self for the artist. “I wrote songs that felt important to me. Before, I had a lot of co-writes, so a lot of opinions in the mix, and this time I was able to think of just what I wanted. It was scary and freeing at the same time,” says Borges, who Rolling Stone magazine describes as “friendly pop-rock with bits of twang, rockabilly, and ’50 pop.”
WIRE: EDM IN HAITI DOCU
In this short film, Sounds of Solidarity, THUMP travels to the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince to learn more about how a homegrown EDM movement is sprouting out of the country’s vibrant history of music, dance, and all-night parties. Only four years after the catostrophic earthquake that killed 200,000 Haitians and left another 300,000 without a home, we witness a country that is still very much in recovery-and for many, music provides a momentary escape from the trials of everyday life. Over the course of 20 minutes, we get a crash course in the wildly complex history of Haitian music, leading up to rise of the country’s many shades of contemporary dance music.

NEW ALBUM BY NAZARETH COMING JUNE 3
With a career spanning 45 years and 22 albums, rockers Nazareth are back with Rock ‘n’ Roll Telephone, which will be released on June 3, 2014.

The Deluxe digipack edition will include a second disc with two additional studio recordings and five live tracks, and will also be available in a double LP gate fold vinyl version.
A welcome return to form, this may be the last album to feature original singer Dan McCafferty, who has refrained from touring due to health issues. If this does prove to be Dan’s last stand, he retires on a high note with his legacy as one of rock’s greatest vocalists assured.

ILL BLU REMIXES DRAKE “WORST BEHAVIOUR”
iLL BLU AKA Darius and James can trace their credentials to being one of top producers that emerged in 2008’s UK Underground music scene. That year they created Princess Nyah’s ‘Frontline’ together at their home studio, recording vocals in the bathroom. It was one of the key songs of the Underground movement driven by DJs like Marcus Nasty at Rinse FM, Pioneer and Cameo. Like most UK Underground tracks, it mixed a ghetto outlook with the sensuality of the female vocal, the Carnival Dem bow rhythm and the garage and tribal house production energy.

Godfrey explains about the track: “Similar to our first single “Get your gun”, this is another metaphor of being the murderer of someone’s “life” in a relationship. Accepting the guilt and the actions for what they are, and accepting that maybe you even have to lie to get away with it.”

GUY BLAKESLEE NEW SINGLE “KNEEL & PRAY”
Guy Blakeslee (The Entrance Band) delivers his first solo album in ten years. Produced by Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah, Yeah Yeahs), Ophelia Slowly, takes a step back from the dense rock sound his LA-based neo-psychedelic trio is known for, delving instead into a sparse, spooky dreamscape where drum loops, synthesizers, and the occasional acoustic guitar frame his always haunting vocal delivery. Recorded in New York in the fall of 2013, the album focuses on Blakeslee’s recent descent; wrestling with demons and angels alike, he has come through it victoriously, expressing the hopeful message of a modern day spiritual.
