LOST ROCKERS the new film from Paul Rachman and Steven Blush

A New film project by Paul Rachman and Steven Blush (American Hardcore) need your support, learn how by reading words bellow (as quoted from Kickstarter.com)

LOST ROCKERS is the new film from Paul Rachman and Steven Blush, makers of the AMERICAN HARDCORE punk rock documentary that premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and was theatrically released by Sony Pictures Classics.


LOST ROCKERS reveals great musicians overlooked by pop culture. It offers insight into what it takes to “make it,” and why so many of equal talent to famous stars fall through the cracks. The film tells the life stories of these forgotten artists — of different eras, genres, creeds and orientations — from their doomed paths to fame to their ultimate redemption. You’ll experience amazing music you can’t believe you never heard.


LOST ROCKERS has only just begun. We’ve shot our first four interviews (Gloria Jones, Jake Holmes, David Peel and Dr. israel) with many more to come, including famous rock stars commenting on their lesser-known contemporaries. Completing our research and moving into the post-production phase will require travel across the US, UK and Europe. Your contributions will help put us on this path.

Efterklang - Magic Chairs released this week

Too lazy to write, so here's what the publicist said. :)

Released this week, Efterklang's Magic Chairs is the Copenhagen-based outfit's debut record for 4AD and third full-length in total. It finds them continuing to fuse left-of-centre electronic beats with grand orchestral gestures.


Mixed by Gareth Jones (Nick Cave, Mogwai, Grizzly Bear), the result is an intimate and immediate record. With the likes of 'Modern Drift', with its intricate and looping arpeggios, and 'I Was Playing Drums', as arguably the band's most accessible pop song to date, it is an album that is a bold as it is bewitching.

The Lonely Forest - "We Sing The Body Electric!"

The Lonely Forest - John Van Deusen (Vox/Guitar/Piano), Braydn Krueger (Percussion), Eric Sturgeon (Bass), Tony Ruland (Guitar) - is set to release their debut album"We Sing The Body Electric!", for Trans with

This indie-rock band will rise with their signature layered vocal, and dirty guitar, with geeky voices. For fans of The Rentals, Of Montreal, Death Cab for Cutie.

The experimental indie-rock quintet announced their upcoming release with Dangerbird Records.

Here are the press release from their publicist, The Big Hassle.

Seattle-based quintet Minus the Bear are very excited to announce the release of their new album, OMNI, set for a May 4th release on Dangerbird Records. Produced by Grammy Award winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes, My Morning Jacket), OMNI showcases the quintet's remarkable gift to craft visionary and gripping compositions, and with the assistance of Chiccarelli, revealing new layers in their songwriting as they pursue the next level in their inimitable musical style. With the exploration of erotic themes and fascinating tales of human sexual relationships, OMNI is a riveting new album of rich soundscapes illustrated by Minus The Bear's trademark precision and tremendous growth as artistic lyricists and songwriters. Beginning April 21st, Minus the Bear will embark on a 6-week North American tour premiering these new tracks. Dates to be announced shortly. OMNI marks the first release for the band on Dangerbird Records.

With deep bass lines, mesmerizing syncopated guitar riffs, provocative lyrics and stimulating keyboards, OMNI explodes with a bursting energy and unpredictable experimentation. From lead-off single, MY TIME, which explores the band's widescreen synth rock, to the punch of dueling guitars and keyboards on THE THIEF, from the intense psychedelicia of  ANIMAL BACKWARDS to the driving rock of HOLD ME DOWN, OMNI continues Minus The Bear's shape-shifting evolution and is a culmination of  their past influences and present inspirations.

In the meanwhile, if you missed any of their previous release, you can get them by clicking the cover.
