Just in Time |
Black & White PR reports: On Borrowed
Time, the full-length debut from Toronto boogie-rockers THE ILLUMINATI,
will be released in America on June 28. The trio – who just wrapped up
a U.S. tour alongside The Hellacopters and Nebula that included a stop
at South By Southwest – will continue touring before and after the album’s
release.
THE ILLUMINATI have recently received extensive
critical acclaim for their self-titled EP, a six-track, 16-minute gem released
last fall. The new issue of Revolver praises its “swinging roadhouse rock,”
while Outburn salutes their “rock anthems infused with jazz n’ blues parts,
as well as rip-roarin’ solos.”[see full story for a free mp3!]-

of Thursday |
Fanscape reports: Thursday’s new album A CITY
BY THE LIGHT DIVIDED is on an exclusive pre-sale only at www.towerrecords.com.
Each pre-ordered album will be accompanied by a limited edition 7 inch.
The album drops officially on May 2nd.
Thursday, forerunners in the trend of including
a day of the week or a month in the name of your band…but seriously, one
of the very bands responsible for bringing post-hardcore into the mainstream,
will release a second album since signing with Island recording group.
From their New Jersey outpost, singer Geoff Rickley, guitarists Steve Pedulla
and Tom Keeley, bassist Tim Payne, keyboardist Andrew Everding, and drummer
Tucker Rule have brought a style of music that was long regarded as only
an oblivion of guitars and yelling created in basements and listened to
basements into recognition as a structured genre that actually gives a
cultural voice to America’s suburban youth. It is loud, tender, true and
angry, which are also things that certain music fans really like. [see
