| His gift for melody is straightfrom a higher power.\" - SPIN \r\n \r\nIn 1991 Matthew Sweet released Girlfriend, an alternative rock milestone, and quickly followed it up with two back-to back classics, Altered Beast and 100% Fun, that cemented his reputation as an elder statesman of indie-rock. Now, nine years after his last major solo release and on the heels of side projects with The Thorns and The Bangles\' Susanna Hoffs, comes his long-awaited new album, Sunshine Lies, which hearkens back to the glories of his revered \'90s albums. Features long-time sidemen Richard Lloyd (Television), Ivan Julian (Richard Hell & The Voidoids), Greg Leisz (Beck, Bill Frisell), Ric Menck (Velvet Crush), and a guest vocal by Susanna Hoffs (The Bangles). |

| Left & Right: Live at Fingerprints. Live at Park Ave offers a glimpse at why Matt Nathanson has accrued an ever-growing legion of fans over his career. Recorded at two separate solo acoustic in-stores along his 2007-2008 tour, the tracks here present all sides of Matt\'s appeal, from the well-crafted pop melodies of \'Come on Get Higher\' and \'Car Crash\' to Matt\'s hilarious stage banter (he riffs on \'Rock of Love\' AND \'Dog the Bounty Hunter\'!) to an aching cover of Bruce Springsteen\'s \'No Surrender.\' Raw, intimate, and off the cuff, as the best in-stores always are, this EP will surely be a must-have for Matt Nathanson fans new and old.\r\n |

| \"The band\'s fifth album employs unabashed Beatles arrangements....\'From\' is virtually all harmonies, cool and pleasant.\" - Paste Magazine \r\n\"Now five albums in as the kings of fuzzy beard-rock revivalism, this Philly quintet has expertly honed its loving tribute to the past perfect.\" - Entertainment Weekly |

| \"A mighty fine album....Leaping new treatments of favourites such as \'Oh Atlanta,\' \'Dixie Chicken,\' and a joyous \'Fat Man In The Bathtub\' are rich and powerful.\" \r\n- Record Collector (magazine) |

| The seven-track EP, SLIGHTLY NOT STONED ENOUGH TO EAT BREAKFAST YET STOOPID, was originally released by the southern California surf-reggae-punk outfit Slightly Stoopid in 2005. The expanded 2008 CD release triples the length of the original EP by adding 14 additional tracks, including outtakes and new recordings. The new material is stylistically in keeping with songs from the original EP, such as \"Cops\" and a faithful cover of UB40\'s \"I Would Do For You,\" focusing on heavy, bass-driven dub reggae and jam band looseness rather than the punkier elements of the band\'s sound. Experiments such as the bluegrass rush of \"Train 1\" (followed immediately by its groovy dub doppelganger \"Train 2\") and a hardcore punk reading of Ricky Martin\'s hit \"She Bangs\" only add to the fun. Even those who bought the original EP should upgrade to this expanded edition. |

| \"Ra Ra Riot combine Arcade Fire\'s orchestral reveries with Vampire Weekend\'s pop sensibility for an album that\'s both effervescent and heartbreaking.\" - Rolling Stone |
|
| For BITS, its 2008 sophomore outing on Sub Pop, the Brooklyn-based indie-rock ensemble Oxford Collapse offers up a suprisingly varied yet focused set of quirky, jittery rock. Fronted by vocalist/guitarist Michael Pace and vocalist/bassist Adam Rizer, who often sing in uninhibited unison (see the cheeky, raucous \"Young Love Delivers\"), the group nods to a number of renowned 1980s and `90s indie/alt acts--Superchunk, Dinosaur Jr., R.E.M., and Husker Du to name a few--while retaining its own youthful charm. Though jaded rock diehards might be somewhat resistant to OC\'s playful songs, those who weren\'t around when those bands were in their heyday are likely to be more readily impressed. |

| \"The same core elements that initially characterized Stereolab -- an unrequited love of Krautrock, lunge, cheesy \'60s pop and \'space age bachelor pad music,\' combined with lyrics embracing Marxist politics and Situationist themes -- are still very much present in its output.\" - Paste (magazine) |

| After building a substantial following in their native Los Angeles and creating a buzz on the Internet, indie rockers the Airborne Toxic Event signed to Majordomo records to release their self-titled debut. THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT showcases the quintet\'s energetic sound which draws equally from the biting passion of the Clash and the expansive, anthemic feeling of the Arcade Fire. The music rocks hard, but it\'s also augmented by strings and keys, creating a distinctive sound that\'s at once fresh and familiar. \"Gasoline,\" \"Happiness is Overrated,\" and \"Sometime Around Midnight\" are highlights of this overall impressive debut. |

| From the slinky, sexy opener, \"Best Damn Fool,\" to the blues history lesson of \"Who\'s Gonna Fill Those Shoes,\" to the slow-burn closer \"I Found Happiness,\" Guy doesn\'t seem to have mellowed with age. In fact, he wails and shreds here with as much passion as ever. Eric Clapton, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, and Robert Randolph all lend a hand, but Buddy is in charge here, much the way he has always been. |
|
| Following a pair of independently released EPs, WE HAVE CAUSE TO BE UNEASY is the full-length debut by Birmingham, Alabama\'s Wild Sweet Orange. A powerful indie rock act led by the impassioned singer-songwriter Preston Lovinggood, Wild Sweet Orange skirt the limitations of most of their young contemporaries by incorporating folk-rock and singer-songwriter influences ranging from Bob Dylan to Counting Crows on tracks such as \"Sour Milk,\" \"Aretha\'s Gold,\" and \"Land of No Return.\" Other highlights include \"Tilt\" and \"Either/Or.\" WE HAVE CAUSE TO BE UNEASY is available as a digital download, standard CD, and vinyl LP. |

| Giant Sand\'s new album \'\'proVISIONS\'\' is cinematic Americana at its most aching, an album of tremolo soaked guitars, moody piano and secrets whispered over desert winds. Recorded partly in Tucson and Denmark, this version of Giant Sand is comprised of Danish musicians and features talented friends/collaborators such as Neko Case, M. Ward and Isobell Campbell. A creeping cruise down a dark desert highway, these \'\'proVISIONS\'\' provide for the furthering ride of Giant Sand\'s completely unique musical legacy. |
|
| On its self-tiled 2008 debut, Low Vs. Diamond (no connection to the slowcore band Low) unveils a confident collection of alternative-rock tunes. Not as blatantly indebted to post-punk as many of its peer acts, the group, fronted by singer/guitarist Lucas Field, still mines the same vein as the Killers and the Bravery, albeit with a slightly more mainstream sound (see the lively anthem \"Heart Attack\"). |

| \"Wainwright\'s voice sounds better than ever, adding the weight of history to songs that were poignant to begin with.\" - Rolling Stone |
|
| heir sophomore album is awash with the same feedback-filled guitars and pounding rhythms that made their debut a standout, with a newfound sense of melody. \"2\" demonstrates the band\'s love of fuzzy, reverb-laden rock \'n\' roll and sunburned harmonies that stick in your head long after the needle has left the groove. |

| Margot and the Nuclear So & So\'s are an 8-piece circle of young friends from Indiana who, in the spring of 2005, quietly released one of the most beloved indescribable records in recent memory, The Dust of Retreat. The band has clocked more than 100,000 miles on the road, playing sold out shows in New York, Chicago, and of course, Indianapolis. The band was signed to Epic Records in October 2007, and has been writing and recording their major label debut with Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron and Wine). |

| The long awaited follow-up to STS9\'s critically acclaimed 2005 \'Best of iTunes\' release Artifact. Peaceblaster recreates the intricacy of Artifact while applying the intensity of STS9\'s live show for the first time ever on record. STS9 has consistently been in the top 30 touring acts for two years according to Pollstar Magazine\'s PULSE charts.\r\n |

| While the band is only three people, the Reverend himself is undeniably a big man with a big voice, and THE WHOLE FAM DAMNILY is as big as the Indiana prairies the band is from originally. With the Reverend playing impressively quick-fingered guitar, his wife Breezy on the washboard, and his brother Jayme on drums, it\'s truly a family affair. Plain-spoken, unfussy country blues about what the Reverend sees outside of his window today (\"Your Cousin\'s On COPS,\" \"Walmart Killed the Country Store\") show a real sense of humor while keeping that rural melancholy firmly in place.\r\n |

| Mixing the confessional, minimalist singer-songwriter pop of A BOOT AND A SHOE with the more eclectic and rock-oriented sound of vintage 1990s albums like MARTINIS AND BIKINIS and OMNIPOP, DON\'T DO ANYTHING successfully melds these two characteristic sounds of the accomplished singer-songwriter Sam Phillips. Highlights include the unexpectedly rocking title track, \"Another Song\" (based on a melody Phillips used in episodes of the TV series GILMORE GIRLS, for which she was the music supervisor), and Phillips\'s own version of her song \"Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us,\" which had been one of the highlights of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss\'s 2007 collaboration, RISING SANDS. |
