American Heartbreak

Black and White PR reports: For nearly a decade, American Heartbreak have been one of rock's underground heroes, but with the April 18 release of their eponymous second full-length, they'll aim to leave the underground behind and follow in the footsteps of their arena rock idols. Three songs from the new album have been posted online at both the band's website (www.americanheartbreak.com) and MySpace page (www.myspace.com/americanheartbreak). 

The San Francisco-based quintet � co-founded by Billy Rowe, onetime guitarist for Jetboy (a band All Music Guide calls "one of the best-kept secrets of �80s glam metal") � blend a punk-influenced pop-metal aesthetic with the melodic allure and accessible hooks of classic pop radio. The group's new album � co-produced by Rick Parker (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Space Twins [Weezer guitarist Brian Bell's side project]) � proves that if the New Wave of Classic Rock is in session, American Heartbreak is at the front of the class.

The British Are Coming (To SXSW)

Little Big Man reports: Every year, a cadre of the United Kingdom's hottest new artists set sail for Austin to partake in sUKonthis -- the annual British invasion of the South By Southwest Music Festival. Some already have major label deals in the States; others are new even in their home country; but they all have one thing in common: the potential to explode in the months following SXSW. They bring with them a coalition of British music business and international trade entities, ready to help pave the way for the next generation of exceptional English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish musicians in America.

In 2003, it was The Darkness. In 2004: The Futureheads, Aqualung, Jamie Cullum and Athlete. Last year, The Go! Team and the Kaiser Chiefs were the talk of the festival, while the Magic Numbers and James Blunt went from virtual unknowns to Next Big Things.
