| Park
is Closing |
PR reports: As you may have heard already
one of Lobster Record's oldest and well respected artists, PARK, have said
"Goodbye". After 7 awesome years and 3 amazing albums, the band will be
laid to rest, but not without a final show. Be sure to check back for the
time and place of their finale, that should be taking place before June.
Below is a message from Ladd about the
departure to their fans: "Dear fans and friends, During the course of the
past months my priorities concerning Park, have changed due to personal
affairs in my life. These changes have lead me to ultimately quit the band.
It is a decision that I have been pining over for quite some time now,
as I did not want to make a rash choice. For the past ten years being in
Park is all I have known, and leaving that is scary, yet I wouldn't trade
that time for anything else in the world. The friends we have made, places
we've been, floors we've slept on, and shows we have played are unimaginable.
It is much more than I ever thought we would accomplish. [see full story

| Roadrunner
Goes Pop |
PR reports: Roadrunner Records proudly announces
the signing of Nashville's pop stunners De Novo Dahl. The name, a combination
of Latin for "the new" and the last name of creative and visual author
Roald Dahl (James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory),
translates roughly "the new Dahl" � which is a good way to describe their
collective approach to music.
De Novo Dahl is moving full steam ahead
with writing and recording their new record. Producers David Fridmann and
Tony Dugan (Flaming Lips, Super Furry Animals, Belle & Sebastian) have
signed on to mix the new tunes. Look out for De Novo Dahl's next album
and debut with Roadrunner Records, due out summer 2007.-

Supervillian Outcast |
PR reports: MOONFOG / THE END RECORDS has
set a release date of April 17th, 2007 for the album 'Supervillian Outcast'
Grom Norway's avant-garde/black metal band DØDHEIMSGARD.
'Supervillian Outcast' is DØDHEIMSGARD's
(now known as DHG) follow-up to the critically-acclaimed 1999 release '666
International,' a sonically-charged rollercoaster ride of avant-garde chaos
and intense black metal drive and atmosphere. The album, which ended up
on many critics' Top 10 lists, helped inject the black metal music scene
with something unique and groundbreaking the year of its release. While
most bands would be affected by such a lengthy downtime between releases,
DHG' insatiable drive to reach new plateaus with their powerful aural assaults
has kept the momentum going strong allowing 'Supervillain Outcast' to serve
up pure black metal anarchy.
You can check out the new mp3 'Vendetta
Assassin' at the band's official Myspace page at the full story link. -

| Relient
K Score With New CD |
PR reports: Pop-punk band Relient K is back
with their fifth album in seven years cleverly titled, Five Score and Seven
Years Ago, in stores March 6, 2007. Their highly anticipated new music
video "Must Have Done Something Right" premieres today on Yahoo! "This
song represents something that I've wanted to create for a long time,"
explains lead singer Matt Thiessen. "It's not a political commentary or
a tear jerking emotion-piece, it's just a feel good, fun song. Written
at 3 a.m. with a smirk on my face, the song turned out to be something
that you can tap your foot and smile to."
The Ohio natives say the new album is their
happiest record to date, combining up-beat catchy love songs and their
quirky sense of humor. See the video at the full story link. [fyi a score
is 20 years]

The new supergroup featuring
Damon Albarn, Tony Allen, Simon Tong (Verve), Paul Simonon (the Clash.)
and Danger Mouse. The assembly of maybe the super-est group our generation
will lay eyes and ears on, only serves to reaffirm the general consensus:
Albarn is a god. (5 stars)

It's too soon to say if The
Colour are the real deal or just perfectly aping their influences for now.
But "Between Earth & Sky" consistently incorporates the choicest inspirations,
making it awfully hard to dislike. (3 stars)

Ernie Southern is the real deal.
He's got guitar chops, great vocals, and more than anything, this guy has
S-O-U-L. The blues isn't just a style of music to Southern. It's something
he clearly feels inside him. (5 stars)- Read
