Schematics marks the third LP from Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer, and the first since 2003’s dance-a-thon Jalopy Go Far, released on Eyeball Records (My Chemical Romance, Thursday). Since then, the band released an EP featuring Kenny Vasoli of the Starting Line and Anthony Green from Circa Survive and Saosin, and recently colaborated with friends Reel Big Fish on a six-song split exclusively containing duets between the 2 bands. When not in the studio, Zolof tours nationally with bands like the Gym Class Heroes and Motion City Soundtrack. These pop-rock angels have earned their wings and achieved a greater rock realization with their creation of Schematics. The moog synthesizers and jump-up-and-down sing-a-longs are still mainstays in Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer’s new songs but also present is a maturity of songwriting that deepens their musical pool… even if that pool is filled with Kool-Aid.

Lancaster, Northwest United Kingdom Deep in the warm wet bloody bowels of the Shipman Manor, five captives lay strewn upon the floor in varying degrees of mortal agony. T was there in that seething hive that their bond was forged. Their battered and broken carcass were plucked from their fatal demise my the fair maiden, known to many, as Torr. She then locked them away again, but with good in her heart. Fulfilling their every need, she nursed them back to health. Standing before her, stood the galant and ever ready quintet. A small cowering voice from the back of the room emerged, it was Torr s goblin slave, Pedro. But what shall we call them mistress? , he asked hesitantly. We shall call them, The Shipman Project Download | Subscribe | Subscribe in iTunes Links Myspace Spread It Around: Hide Sites

The Turn-ons have been performing in the Northwest, California and NY with bands like Brian Jonestown Massacre, British Sea Power, and Ulrich Schnauss, and tirelessly writing and recording new material over the past 8 years. They caught the eye of REM s Peter Buck who described the band in his column for Q magazine, as simply my favourite new Seattle band. If I said that their sound was a combination of the Velvets, T. Rex and Spiritualized with a dash of Yo La Tengo, it wouldn t do them justice. The Turn-ons have released three full length albums: The Turn-ons, East, Parallels and the EP, Love Ruined Us. Their songs have appeared on soundtracks, ASCAP and Uncut samplers, and featured in SPIN magazine. Curse is the fifth release from The Turn-ons and its currently available entirely for free along with quite a few other extras at their website. DOWNLOAD | SUBSCRIBE Spread It Around: Hide Sites

And now for a head-trip around the planetary systems. From the UK, experimental electronic duo OrtzRoka has been recently described as half mental techno, half down tempo mint and water by Fluokids. I have no earthly idea what that really means although it sounds like a sobering glass of water to the face at the end of a mildly eye glazing headphone session on the summer patio. OrtzRoka cut their teeth DJing, and creating remixes for more established artists such as Simian Mobile Disco, Bloc Party, and Peter, Bjorn Big City ). PLANETS slowly submerses itself into the nodes of the brain, its alien beats battling back and forth like the creeping ink in the video you are about to witness. To fully appreciate the track PLANETS you really need to view the accompanying video. It was directed by Dan Lowe of Partizan Films, who was nominated for Best New Director at the 2007 CAD Music Video Awards. It s definitely my pick for best video of the year to date. It ll blow your mind. Thanks to Scarlett for bringing this to our attention! [cs] DOWNLOAD | SUBSCRIBE Spread It Around: Hide Sites

PHOTOSYNTHESIS is songs. They come on CDs and in digital files that you can download from the internet. Sometimes there are these performance things that are done using a microphone and a computer. Don’t come to these unless you’re OK with that. Anyway, the primary goal of PHOTOSYNTHESIS is to be totally awesome. Secondary goals are to cause dancing and to be mean to people who don’t dance because they think they’re too cool. The tertiary goal is to discover uncharted territories, both physical and metaphysical. Quaternary goals are being unreasonably loud, celebrating the existence of horses, and being really pissed off that 21+ concerts exist. ALL AGES FOREVER!!

From the album Postcard To My Sewing Circle - June 10 2008 The Delicious sing of social and dietary anxiety. The Delicious spin yarns of dramatic resurrection: wooing and courting soul-affirmation, the threat of vacuous failure and its resulting commodification heel-nipping the voyage. The Delicious are sarcastic doomsday soothsayers - and their cachet has been illimitably enhanced by the lead-singer s Civil War era/Salvador Dali style mustache. Originating in the isolated and strangely culturally-in-tune town of Bloomington, Indiana, The Delicious assembled in the fall of 2005, composed of a disillusioned art student and three students of jazz (singer/ guitarist David Woodruff, drummer Ben Fowler, bassist Julian Bransby, and keyboardist Matt Romy respectively). The Delicious have released their highly-evolved next album with Joyful Noise, titled Postcard To My Sewing Circle. Recently Nick Romy replaced Bransby, providing blood harmonies and joining his brother in a venture besides their punk, folk, and jazz ensembles.[Joyful Noise Recordings] Download | Subscribe | Subscribe in iTunes Links Myspace Joyful Noise Recordings Spread It Around: Hide Sites
