Usually we don´t like to spread rumours but this time we think it´s worth dropping all the fans a note! After releasing the whole backcatalogue of X MARKS THE PEDWALK via our ONLINE DIVISION (available through iTunes, Musicload, Napster and others…) we got notified that SEVREN NI-ARB (head of X MARKS THE PEDWALK) is back doing music! We for sure keep you

REFORMATION BOX SET: VNV Nation’s next release, “Reformation 1″, will be released on April 17th in Europe. The North American release date is TBC but should be no more than a couple of weeks after the European date. We’ll post that info as soon as we know.

This is a release that’s specially intended for VNV Nation fans. It will come in the form of a 3-disc, high quality boxset containing; a 12 track live CD, a 12 track CD of remixes, rare or previously unreleased material, a DVD with 8 video edits put together by different people between 2005-2008, and a book of live images as well as a wealth of information about the tracks themselves. The Box Set will be limited to 18,000 copies worldwide (9,000 copies with a PAL format DVD for Europe and 9,000 copies with an NTSC format DVD for North America).

ANACHRON AMERICA : We are very proud to announce the creation of our own North American label. We’ve been working on this idea for a while now and have known for some time that this was the next step we wanted to take. In its current climate, the music industry affords artists lots of new opportunities and innovative ideas to release their music and it’s a situation that we felt we should take advantage of. We don’t want to change what we’ve been doing so far. We want to build on it. The new label is a collaboration with Channel Zero, who bring a wealth of experience with alternative music, an energy and enthusiasm that fits with our own, as well as the know-how to turn our ideas into reality without affecting or sacrificing the spirit in which we do things and our loyalty to the people who love our music. With this move, our aim is to continue doing what we have always done best but, with a great organisation behind us, to do it better and to take it further than we have been able to, with complete independence and complete control over how our music is released and promoted. Reformation 1 will be the first release on Anachron America, to inaugurate the label.

Last Updated ( Saturday, 14 February 2009 )

January 22nd.,2009 (Austin, Texas):
Sigsaly Transmissions is happy to announce the signing Red Flag. Red Flag is currently working on a new full-length CD to be released worldwide late spring 2009.

In 1989 Red Flag released “Naïve Art”. Several singles from the album charted highly on the US Billboard “Hot Dance Music/Club Play” charts, such as “Russian Radio” (#11) and “If I Ever” (#12). Red Flag went on to appear on American Bandstand, and the video for “Russian Radio” was played by MTV’s 120 Minutes. Notable producers who worked on Naïve Art include Paul Robb of synthpop band Information Society and Joseph Watt of remix service Razormaid. Naïve Art remains the only full album Razormaid ever produced.

Red Flag toured frequently, playing at first as opening act to New Wave and synth-pop artists such as Devo, Thomas Dolby, Book of Love and Real Life.

After the death of Mark Reynolds in 2003 Red Flag was in a brief limbo, until Chris Reynolds re-launched Red Flag in 2007 with a darker, harder and more edgy sound than ever before but still retains the bands heritage in sound.

Sigsaly Transmissions is a US based label catering the Electronic-Industrial music scene. The label has made news with the Machines Against Hunger benefit compilation and more recently, with the label Placing 12th in the “Top Labels of 2008″ by the German Alternative Charts (DAC Charts).

It has been produced by Chai Deveraux (known as the guitarist of the industrial-glam-rock-band Jesus on Extasy) and Hahn&Hahn, a team which has already worked with acts like Nena, Kim Wilde and the Farmer Boys.

The first full-length album is one of the milestones in every young band’s career. In this effect a lot of heart, soul, sweat and tears have been put into every aspect of the production. ‘the most beautiful tales end sadly’, for example, features not only a contrabass, but also a guest pianist and vocalist, Leandra. The songs as a whole are diverse – in between a goodbye kiss and a kick in the ass - but also follow a clear, straight line: emotions instead of academics, catchiness, rock’n'roll instead of arty gimmicks. Or, as the band themselves put it: “And even if we’d been struck by lightning the very next day, we’d have known that we’d put everything into that record we’d had to offer and left a legacy to be proud of! These could indeed be our ‘famous last songs’.“

the pussybats want to give something special for their fans. So, by buying the record you’ll also gain access to an exclusive website packed with bonus content. A new music video is in production and is going on air at the beginning of 2009 – the song ‘your woman’ is a cover of the mid 90ies hit from White Town.

the pussybats. roy rock (guitar), sid van sin (vocals, guitar), mike night (drums) and marple 8 (bass). Alternative rock. More precisely? Come on, anything is rock’n'roll somehow, isn’t it? Shoudn’t there be some emotion in everything? And aren’t the most beautiful tales always the sad ones?
After listening to the debut album ‘famous last songs’, all those questions are obsolete anyway, you’ll get drawn into the music without any chance to escape. That’s the moment when you’ll understand the album’s title: Those are songs worth dying for! The four guys from Stuttgart have emancipated themselves from their influences - going from Johnny Cash to Placebo, the Backyard Babies and Motörhead – and finally found their very self, their own style and sound. Rock riffs, catchy melodies, emotion and melancholy melt into a soul-touching entity. Songs like a rollercoaster ride between a goodbye kiss and a kick in your ass. A voice that’s gonna haunt your dreams. And last but not least, thrilling live shows packed with loads of blood, sweat, tears and entertainment.

Starting in 2006, they already managed to gain some attention and gather a constantly growing fanbase – but now they’re off to hit it big time. It hasn’t been easy since and the real challanges are yet to come. However, the flame still burns, the will to keep going is stronger than ever.

The magic is on – so let the show begin!
