Patty Hurst Shifter Set Release

conqueroo reports: Patty Hurst Shifter have developed a loyal following in the Southeast for years. Their forthcoming album, Too Crowded on the Losing End, set for January 24 release on Fontana/Universal-distributed Evo Recordings, finds them ready to show the rest of the world what they've been up to.

Patty Hurst Shifter (the name started as a joke but stuck) has evolved considerably since releasing its 2002 debut, Beestinger Lullabies, an album distinguished by "hard-hitting, textured anthems with plenty of space between the notes for the vivid scenes set by Chris Smith to sink in," according to No Depression's Rick Cornell, who added, "The band can bite hard or burn slowly, bringing to mind big-beat outfits like the True Believers and late local heroes the Backsliders." David Menconi in the Raleigh News Observer made his own Backsliders reference, taking note of "Marc Smith's overdrive buzzsaw guitar, balanced off by the high lonesome vocals of Chris Smith."[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Rikets & Tinjen

Kerosene Media reports: Cleveland's Rikets began work recently on their upcoming album, as founding member/vocalist Scott Rose began tracking songs for the debut full-length A God Among Insects with producer/co-conspirator Ben Schigel (Chimaira, Allele). The first track "The Murder" has been posted on the band's Myspace at www.myspace.com/rikets.

 "The Murder" will however be the last track to feature most of the AFTD lineup, as Rikets has unfortunately parted ways with several members, including guitarist Bradley Kochmit (Switched), drummer Angel (Genitorturers), and sampler/vocalist Matt Haze, who have all resurfaced in a new project called Tinjen, (with Matt assuming lead vocals) that can be found at the full story link- Click Here for the Full Story

Grateful Dead Fillmore West 1969 Release

Special Ops reports: Didn't get a chance to catch the Grateful Dead at Fillmore West in 1969 or weren't alive yet? Don't panic as Rhino is reliving the magic with the November 1st 3-CD release of Fillmore West 1969. 

By 1969 the Dead's marathon free-form performances were fundamentally expanding the known boundaries of rock music. Their '69 LP Live/Dead remains an all-time classic concert album, and Fillmore West 1969 revisits the amazing source material from which it was drawn. Grateful Dead Records' new three-disc goldmine presents a bounty of iconic Dead songs recorded at their now-historic dates from February 27 to March 2, 1969.

Street Dogs Back To The World

Special Ops reports: Native Boston-boys STREET DOGS combine the back alley ethos of the everyday American working man with raucous, guitar-driven punk rebellion. If Bruce Springsteen and Joey Ramone had a lovechild, STREET DOGS would rear its head from that riotous amalgamation. Comprised of former members of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Dropkick Murphy's, STREET DOGS have undoubtedly left an indelible stamp on the American experience. 

Back to the World, STREET DOGS' second release in two years, tackles topics both serious and silly, from the saga of worldly woe on "Tales of Mass Deception" to "Drink Tonight", about, well, drinking. With notable players like Matthew Ellard of Wilco, Nate Albert of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Paul Q. Kolderie of Dinosaur Jr. at the production helm, Back to the World is nothing short of a refreshing drink of water in a polluted marketplace. But you'll have to listen and hear for yourself! [the CD got 5 stars from us]

STREET DOGS will be on tour through the fall in support of Back to the World. [see full story for dates]- Click Here for the Full Story
