Ben Harper and Relentless7 comprise members Ben Harper, Jason Mozersky, Jesse Ingalls, and Jordan Richardson. White Lies For Dark Times is a timeless rock record, with a cohesive collection of music that is as raw, unrelenting and thunderous, as it is arrestingly haunting and emotional. The band intelligently has one foot in Harper's past while every other limb and appendage reach towards the future. Ben Harper and Relentless7 kicks off their tour on April 30 in Louisiana at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Experts on melting faces and frying brains, the L.A. based five-piece have conquered lands far and wide with their unique approach to things often labeled "progressive" and "metal," in effect cutting a swath through pre-existing genre lines.

After a month in the studio with lauded producer Jason Suecof (Sevendust, All That Remains, God Forbid, Trivium), ABR emerged in late March with a blistering album that will make good on the promise of 2007's Messengers � an album that, devoid of hype, without any smoke and mirrors, ever-so-quietly sold more than 80,000 copies, as much or more than most of the band's much-hyped contemporaries.

The extensive run, in support of Devine's latest LP, Brother's Blood (out April 28 on Favorite Gentlemen), sees the Brooklyn troubadour on the road until June, after which he will join friends Brand New for their UK tour.

Heartfelt and unabashed music lovers, they go by the motto: "We are strugglers, sinners, gentlemen, and fighters."

Wonder Subtly Crushing Us follows Ice Palace's acclaimed 2007 debut album, Bright Leaf Left. The new album is the next phase in the ongoing development of the band's lead singer and songwriter, Adam Sorensen, and the culmination of roughly 20 years of writing and creativity. After assembling some of the best talent in Minneapolis, in some of the most unexpected recording spaces (from Minneapolis' Sound Gallery studio to a bedroom closet), the album was handed to Craig Minowa of Cloud Cult and his Earthology Studio for final mixing and production.
