Panic As CD and Tour Announced |
Sanctuary reports: For their latest album
Earth To America (Sanctuary/Widespread Records, June 13), Widespread Panic
wanted to try something new- a new producer, a new studio, even a new country
in which to work. It's what brought them to the Bahamas to work with producer
Terry Manning, an inspired pairing that yielded some big rewards. Says
Todd Nance (drums), "It's like he was waiting for us to touch upon what
he was thinking. It was effortless; there wasn't a moment when we didn't
know where to go or what to do." Adds John Bell (vocals, guitar), "He brings
out some really heavy and rich tones." Sometimes, those results took the
assistance of a few surprise gifts.
Widespread Panic will follow the release
of Earth To America with a 35-date U.S. tour beginning June 21 in Kansas
City.[see full story for dates]- Click

Kelly CD/Tour |
Black and White PR reports: Liquor and Poker
Music has set a July 25th release date for the sophomore recording by Toronto
rock quartet CRASH KELLY, the Gilby Clarke-produced Electric Satisfaction.
A track from the new album, "Ride The Wire," is currently posted on the
band's MySpace page, www.myspace.com/crashkelly.
On May 1, CRASH KELLY kicked off their
Electric Satisfaction tour in grand style with a series of Canadian arena
shows alongside Alice Cooper (whom they honor on the album with a cover
of the Alice classic "Cold Ethyl"). "Playing with Alice Cooper in an arena
setting was the culmination of many teenage fantasies, and it really felt
like the beginning of the next phase for CRASH KELLY," Sean says. "The
songs I write are designed to capture the feeling of the best of the �70s
arena rock giants, and to actually share the stage with one of those giants
was an immense pleasure and privilege." [see full story for more]-

Hopeless reports: The 5th annual Take Action!
tour, organized by Hopeless/ Sub City Records and presented by Hot Topic
raised over $100,000 for the Kristin Brooks Hope Center (KBHC) and the
assistance lines they operate: 1-877-YOUTHLINE and 1-800-SUICIDE. In addition
to the $100,000, the nationwide tour also informed over 40,000 fans in
attendance about the issues of depression and suicide that affect millions
of young people each year. The message has also reached over 22,000 people
to date through the sale of the Take Action! Volume 5 compilation. Hopeless/Sub
City Records donates 5% of the retail list price from the sale of each
compilation to the Kristin Brooks Hope Center.
Since the Take Action! Tour began there
has been a 5% decrease in suicide, as well as an increase in government
funding for suicide prevention- from $0 to $16 million. During this time
Hopeless/Sub City Records has raised over $320,000 for KBHC through the
Take Action! Tour and compilation series. In spite of this tremendous progress,
the epidemic of suicide continues to take thousands of young people from
us each year. 2006 Take Action! Tour Bands: Headliner-Matchbook Romance,
Silverstein, The Early November, Chiodos, Amber Pacific, Paramore, Man
Alive, I Am Ghost, We Are The Fury, Hit The Lights, Roses Are Red[see full

Gojira |
Prosthetic reports: Prosthetic Records has
enetered into an exclusive licensing agreement with France's Listenable
Records to release the new album from French metal titans GOJIRA throughout
North America. The band's latest opus, From Mars To Sirius, will be released
through Prosthetic on Aug. 22.
Mixing technical proficiency, heavy-as-concrete
riffs, and socially-conscious lyrics, GOJIRA truly is a thinking man's
metal band, combining fierce aggression, varying tempos, and intelligent
observations into an all-encompassing 64-minute voyage throughout From
Mars To Sirius. Blabbermouth has already dubbed From Mars To Sirius "massively
heavy but varied and suprising, never monotonous," with Decibel hailing
the record as "monstrous, alien endgame chords, forged in fires of ice
and honed to hyperjazz perfection." [see full story for more]-

| Spooky
CD |
Press Release reports: Arguably DJ culture's
most intellectual turntablist, DJ Spooky links his personal roots together
with his inimitable taste in music by hand selecting 34 of his favorite
tracks from the Trojan Records archives and compiling them into one collection,
In Fine Style: 50,000 Volts of Trojan Records (in stores June 27th). A
heady experiment where he plucks important and influential songs from the
venerable Jamaican record label's rich vaults, DJ Spooky sets out not only
to create a new mood for the club scene but to take clubgoers through the
vital history of Trojan and its direct impact on DJ and club culture to
this day. "This mix is a combination of the old, the new, and the in between,"
he explains. "That's kind of the point: DJ culture in the 21st century
is as much about the soundsystem as the playlist. I wanted to make a mix
that reflected that: old and new."[see full story for more]-

Meeting: Jofo |
antiMusic reports: A lot of people work hard
to make antiMusic what it is. So with our 8th anniversary we felt it was
time to spotlight each writer so you can get to know them a little better.
Over the next few weeks we will be posting a small portion of each staff
person's new profile page. So let's get to know Joannie Foney a.k.a. JoFo
a little better.
JoFo is from somewhere in Indiana and has
been with antiMusic since Rocktober of 04. The first album she purchased
was Metallica "Creeping Death" Picture Disc and the best concert she attended
was Ozzy with Metallica opening. She refused to list her Top 10 Favorite
artist by saying "I generally don't like anything put in any top ten list
sponsored by VH1 or MTV or commercial radio in their pitiful attempts to
keep foisting on the masses garbage & puke masquerading as music."
Her musical pet peeve is "Bands that go from great to a parody in their
quest for money." Her favorite parts of antiMusic are "Keavin's sarcastic
comments on the news & his ability to give everything a snappy title.
Talent like that is much needed & under appreciated in the world. I
think Pres Bush should send him massive subsidies simply based on that."
Click the full story to learn more about Jofo and discover which metal
legend she thinks should be giving college commencement addresses, who
she would smack for "giving a job & respect ability to Bob Rock" and
a lot more!
