2011 - THE YEAR OF

City And Colour is one of Shock’s biggest selling artists, and will be here next week for a SOLD OUT

tour of Australia with labelmates Hey Rosetta!, whose new album ‘Seeds’ hits Australian shelves next

week (see this release sheet for further details).

City And Colour is the aka of Dallas Green, the melodic vocalist in Canadian hardcore giants Alexisonfire.

Since releasing his ‘Sometimes’ album in 2006, his profile has built and built organically, to the point

where his first proper tour of Australia sold out in spectacular fashion, with most shows selling out on

first day of sales!

The new album ‘Little Hell’ will be out June 10. City And Colour’s recent shows at the massive South By

Southwest festival in Austin, TX were rapturously received, and this tour is going to set the foundations

for what is a stunning album.

Dallas will also be doing tons of pre-album interviews whilst in Australia, to run around album release.

• “Last Night On Earth” is the 3rd album from the UK’s Noah & The Whale. Long credited as

pioneers of the “new-folk” sound made popular by their old peers Laura Marling and

Mumford & Sons, the band’s sound has progressed to take in 70s and 80s FM rock as well as

the likes of Lou Reed’s “Berlin”. The loose concept album, based on the idea of, errm, the last

night on earth has gone Top 10 in the UK, and single “L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.” has gone Top 20. In

Australia it is on full rotation on JJJ and jas been added ATD to Nova Brisbane and Sydney.

N&TW are poised to make the big crossover in 2011.

LADYTRON BEST OF 00-10 CD: 30904-2 / PPD: $13.99 ALTERNATIVE / NETTWERK

• The narrative of the past decade of electronic music would not be complete without a chapter on Ladytron - although the Liverpool-born quartet’s global fanbase would argue that the band wrote the book on it.

• The foursome of Daniel Hunt, Reuben Wu, Helen Marnie and Mira Aroyo have fashioned four albums of deliriously buzzing, whip-smart electro-pop that have kept them ahead of the curve, apart from the fads and in a league of their own.

• Ladytron has created a body of work that reveals a fresh creative arc — and, as time has told, served as a reference point for a current crop of artists such as Lady Gaga, Goldfrapp, La Roux and Crystal Castles.

• Includes 2 new tracks ‘Ace Of Hz’ and ‘Little Black Angel’. Glossy national press ads, extensive promo both here and o’seas/ online.

UNWRITTEN LAW SWAN CD: BRECD275/ PPD: $15.98 PUNK/ SUBURBAN

• Post Hard Core band ‘The Blackout’ return with their much anticipated follow up from 2009’s ‘The Best in Town.’

• Hope is the preserve of the foolish and the brave, the light at the end of the tunnel and the ball and chain that leaves reality inescapable. ‘Hope’, the new album by Welsh pop-bruisers The Blackout, is just that – except it sounds killer at ear-bleeding volume.

• With touchstones ranging from Prince to Slipknot, ‘Hope’ is the work of a band reenergised, looking forward to leaping to the next level.

• The opening song ‘Ambition Is Critical’ goes ‘We don’t need to wear your crown’ because we don’t need anyone’s approval. We’re doing what feels right to us.” With their army of fans – the ever-vocal Riot Squad – at their backs, The Blackout have made their most confident and fluent album to date.

Pirate’s Gospel (Rough Trade Shop’s album of 2006) and 2009’s To Be Still. Alela has

previously toured with The Decemberists and Iron and Wine and has previously

toured Australia in support of her music.

• There is a powerful weariness to 25-year-old Alela Diane’s voice as it dips and curls

its way through her second album, woozy pedal steel glinting and shimmering all

about her, hollow-hooved percussion trailing in her wake.

YOUNG WIDOWS IN AND OUT OF YOUTH AND LIGHTNESS CD: CTX613CD/ PPD: $15.98 ALTERNATIVE/CORTEX

• Five years and three albums later, In and Out of Youth and Lightness finds the band

blasts shining cracks of lights through pitch black neo-noir fever dreams, Young Widows

the shadows of their influences to become one of America’s more interesting and spirited

underground rock bands.

inspiring force in the canon of heavy music.

• The DZ DEATHRAYS release their next record ‘Brutal Tapes’ on the 1st April. The E.P will release two recorded tracks, a live house

party set and two remixes.

• Duo Shane Parsons and Simon Ridley have created a two piece garage punk act which has since far exceeded the living rooms

gusto to put themselves out there as any established rock band.

graduation, the band entered the studio with famed producer Kris Crummett and delivered a monster.
