ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Band Members: Max Kerman (vocals, guitar), Mike DeAngelis (vocals, guitar), Dan Griffin (vocals, keyboard, guitar), Nick Dika (bass), Tim Oxford (drums, percussion)

Sharing a love of the kind of raw, soulful "Springsteenesque" rock that inspires a teen to pick up a guitar and start a band, the Arkells formed in Hamilton, ON, in 2006. The ambitious and prolific five-piece quickly found its groove, and recorded debut EP Deadlines in 2007. From the strum of the first track, the six-song EP showcased the Arkells masterful blending of traditional blues hooks mixed with modern rock-laden riffs, and a touch of classic Motown era rhythms. Their catchy melodies and unbridled energy live garnered critical acclaim with NOW Magazine describing the Arkells as having "an awesome muscular quality that sets it apart from the output of so many of their sad-sack indie rock peers..."

Since the release of Deadlines the band has traveled across Canada sharing stages with Bedouin Soundclash, Matt Mays & El Torpedo, Sam Roberts Band, Constantines, Alexisonfire, and City and Colour. More recent performances include a stint opening for legendary rockers Black Crowes, MTV Live and V-Fest. With live shows fueling the buzz created by the EP, the band quickly caught the ear of Dine Alone Records (home to City and Colour, Bedouin Soundclash, Attack in Black and Black Lungs) who re-released Deadlines digitally in March 2008.

Love Is For The Middle Class God Save The Foolish Kings

ALBUM FACTS Genre: Rock Producers: Mark Lee Townsend (Relient K, Deas Vail), Mixed By J.R.McNeely (The Almost, Paramore) Focus Markets: Dallas-Ft Worth, TX, Columbus, OH, Chicago, IL, Los Angeles, CA, New York, NY, Houston, TX, Seattle-Tacoma, WA, Toledo, OH, Minneapolis, MN, Cleveland, OH Description: It has been said that there are three things wrong with rock music, currently: One, most bands sacrifice originality for safe marketability. Two, most bands place fashion over great songwriting. Three, most bands think production trumps heart.

But then, House of Heroes is not most bands. And if you had to pick three characteristics to describe this, their opus, you would have to say it is fearless, uncompromising, and heartfelt. Because Suburba is an album like nothing else you will hear today. And for that fact alone, it is a victory of epic proportions.

Endlessly poppy, galactically ambitious, and dripping with honest, candid emotion, this is what a rock record is supposed to sound like. This is what a rock record is supposed to feel like. Harkening back to days when music was wide-eyedand meant a whole lot more. Think classic Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, The Who, E.L.O. with a touch of Meatloaf. That's right, Meatloaf. Broad and anthemic at certain moments, yet vulnerable and intimate at others. There are driving, heavytracks, as well as harmonic ballads.

"This record is about growing up in middle class suburbia," states Skipper. "It's aboutfighting for your own identity in the face of society's ideas about love, money, religionand power. It's about having big dreams and going after them with reckless abandon,yet having to reconcile the fact that things aren't always going to go your way. And it'sabout realizing, throughout all of it, that God is real and is the one constant among allthe variables of life."

ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Columbus, OH Band Members: Tim Skipper (vocals, guitar), Jared Rigsby (guitar, vocals), AJ Babcock (bass, vocals), Colin Rigsby (drums, vocals)

01 Old Brush Arbors 06 Cup of Loneliness 02 These Hands 07 Give Me Just One Day, Lord 03 Where the Soul Never Dies (previously unreleased) 08 The Old Rugged Cross (previously unreleased) 04 Take The World But Give Me Jesus 09 Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown 05 Taggin' Along 10 The Good Old Bible

ALBUM FACTS Genre: Country Description: 1st Time Ever on CD! Plus, includes two previously unreleased songs by George Jones!

It should come as no surprise that George Jones, whose voice is the gold standard of country singing, can sing a gospel song like no one else. When these recordings were made in the 1960s, George's life was a sad litany of alcohol abuse, unaccountable behavior and missed show dates.

In contrast to the turmoil of his life, these recordings evoke images of mother and home and a life lived in the knowledge of Jesus. We know we're hearing a backslider who is filled with shame, who is offering himself up for redemption the only way he knows how: through a song. That's what makes these recordings so inexpressibly moving.

Time Life is proud to release George Jones: SACRED SONGS. None of the Gospel favorites on this album like "Cup of Loneliness," "Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown" and "The Good Old Bible" have ever been available on CD, plus we've included two previously unreleased songs ("Where the Soul Never Dies" and "The Old Rugged Cross"), sure to please any George Jones fan.

WHY BUY? Never before on CD 2 never-before-released songs Value-priced album George Jones is a classic country living legend with a huge fan base

ARTIST & INFO GEORGE JONES' SUCCESS:

He's a legend -- George Jones has been a successful recording artist for over 50 years. Jones is the #2 best-charting country artist of all time, with hits in every decade from the 1950s to today. His catalog scans over hundreds of thousands of units annually. He's charted more singles than any other artist in any other format (167). He has the most Top-40 Hits (143). He's won numerous awards including Country Music Hall of Fame inductee, Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year, National Medal of Arts Award and two Grammy® Awards. Two of his albums were certified Platinum; 11 albums went Gold. Jones still headlines dozens of concerts each year, entertaining his millions of loyal fans.

ARTIST & INFO Hometown: San Francisco, CA Metallica is easily one of the best, most influential heavy metal band of the '80s. Responsible for bringing the genre back to Earth, the bandmates looked and talked like they were from the street, shunning the usual rockstar games of metal musicians during the early '80s. They expanded the limits of thrash, using speed and volume not for their own sake, but to enhance their intricately structured compositions.

Multiple Grammy-winners, Metallica have sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, including 60 million in the U.S. Five albums have hit #1, including 1991’s Metallica, which has sold more than 15 million copies in the U.S., making it the 25th highest selling album in history.

ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Long Island, NY AVAILABLE MERCH

Ryan Star's time is now. For more than half his life, Star has been a fiery performer. Born and raised in Long Island, N.Y., by the time Star was 14 he regularly traveled to Manhattan to play clubs, including the legendary CBGB's.

As a member of Stage, a band he formed with childhood friends, Star signed with Maverick/Warner Bros. After that brief excursion, Star returned to his first love of performing. Now a solo artist, what followed was a period of tremendous artistic growth as Star found his individual voice, culminating in the self-release of 2005's Songs from the Eye of an Elephant. That RS NYC Long Sleeve T-Shirt 20-song set, recorded in his living room with just piano and vocals, showcased Star's do-it-yourself, indie ethic with its Charcoal intensity drawing comparisons to Tori Amos and Eddie Vedder. As he honed his live talents, Star simultaneously worked on his songwriting craft, often finding inspiration in movies from director/former rock journalist Cameron Crowe that marries music and image. So inspired is Star by film that he often watches movies with pen and pad in hand so he can note the feelings they provoke.

Star continued selling out such vaunted New York venues as Joe's Pub and Rockwood Music Hall and building an audience through such exposure as a MySpace featured artist, but he knew he needed a national platform to further spread his music.

Enter his decision to compete on CBS's 2006 reality show Rock Star: Supernova as a way to take his music directly to the viewers. And the viewers loved him: Star's high-octane performances quickly became fan favorites as they highlighted both his stellar musicianship and natural- born showmanship. "It's always been about playing for people. That's when I'm truly myself," said Star.

A seasoned performer, Star then took his act on the road, joining David Cook for a massive nationwide tour last winter to showcase material off his debut EP, Last Train Home. The EP is highlighted by the award-winning track "Brand New Day" which is featured as the main theme to FOX's hit series, Lie To Me . Last Train Home also features "Right Now," which has been used in recent promotions from NFL, MLB, ESPN, and the History Channel. Another notable track off the EP, "This Could Be The Year," was included in WWE'S 25 Years of Wrestle Mania special as well as two commercials that aired during last year's Super Bowl. Since the release of the EP, Star has toured alongside such renowned acts as Collective Soul, Rob Thomas, and The Script. MARKETING POINTS Awards: BMI Award for "Brand New Day's" use as the theme song to the FOX television show Lie To Me .

ALBUM FACTS Genre: Rock Producers: Jon Brion Radio Formats: Americana, Non-comm, College Packaging Specs: One 140g regular weight black vinyl disc in single pocket Stoughton jacket with bonus CD (same content as standard album audio) in babypak with insert. Description:

Antifogmatic, the follow-up to the Punch Brothers' 2008 debut, Punch, is a collaboratively written collection of songs from these "five wily, omnivorous bluegrass titans," as the Village Voice has called them, a quintet that the Washington Post, in turn, has described as "some of the best string pickers of the new generation."

Antifogmatic is seamlessly sequenced to display the collective imagination, the instrumental and vocal power, of the band -Thile, guitarist Chris Eldridge, bassist Paul Kowert, banjo player Noam Pikelny, and fiddler Gabe Witcher. Though the quintet is now based in New York City, where they have an informal residency at Manhattan's The Living Room, they recorded and mixed the album at Hollywood's historic Ocean Way studio with iconoclastic producer Jon Brion (Brad Mehldau, Aimee Mann, Fiona Apple, Kanye West) and engineer Greg Koller. Says Witcher, "We knew we needed a producer equally as well-versed in pop and rock as in instrumental music, and I don't think there is anyone more able to capture and communicate the essence of this material than Jon Brion."

The arrangements on Antifogmatic range from intimate to boisterous and back; genre-wise, the band once again ventures where no string band has ever gone before. The spare opening track "You Are" contrasts percussive guitar riffs with lyrical string parts that dance around Thile's sweet upper register as he spins a tale of romantic emancipation; occasionally, the other instruments give way to reveal the throb of the bass. The band also engages in some unexpectedly beautiful harmony singing, smoothing out the compelling melodic twists and turns of "Welcome Home." "Me and Us" and "Woman and the Bell" both have a dream-like quality; the former, in fact, was inspired by those jumbled, thought-filled moments before sleep sets in, and the instrumentation keeps pace with the ever-shifting imagery. In contrast, "Don't Need No" and "Rye Whiskey" are foot-stomping barroom boasts and"Next to the Trash" is the closest the band gets to traditional bluegrass, even as the lyrics tug the piece in a more surreal direction.

The Punch Brothers are as comfortable at the jam band-oriented Bonnaroo Festival, where they will appear in June, as at Carnegie Hall. Their fan base ranges from the hip youthful crowds that packed the Living Room to the dedicated listeners of NPR's Prairie Home Companion, which has also hosted the exceedingly good-humored boys.

The group will be on tour throughout the spring and summer and will make appearances at the Newport Folk Festival and the Telluride Blugrass Festival. A special deluxe edition of Antifogmatic includes a four-song instrumental EP and a seven-song DVD filmed during the band's Living Room residency. The first 250 copies will also include a signed "Punch Cocktail Recipe Guide." The word "Antifogmatic," explains Thile," is an old term for a bracing beverage, generally rum or whiskey, that a person would have before going out to work in rough weather to stave off any ill effects. This batch of tunes could be used in much the same way, and includes some characters who would probably benefit mightily, if temporarily, from a good antifogmatic."

ARTIST & INFO Hometown: New York, NY Band Members: Chris Eldridge (guitar, vocals), Paul Kowert (bass, vocals), Noam Pikelny (banjo, vocals), Chris Thile (mandolin, lead vocals), Gabe Witcher (fiddle, vocals) Punch Brothers’ line-up includes some of the most impressive and widely respected musicians performing today: Chris Eldridge (guitar), Paul Kowert (bass), Noam Pikelny (banjo), Chris Thile (mandolin and lead vocals), and Gabe Witcher (fiddle).

The Boston Globe says of the band, “[T]his top shelf acoustic quintet is a virtuosic revelation,” while the Chicago Tribune says, “[T]heir breathtaking virtuosity isn’t about soloing but complex ensemble unity, with a cumulative power that leaves the listener pleasantly rung out.”

ALBUM FACTS Genre: Country Producers: Scott Hendricks Description: This is the next Six Pak studio album from Blake Shelton! Hillbilly Bone T-Shirt Black

ARTIST & INFO Hometown: Ada, Oklahoma In 2001, Blake made his debut with the single "Austin". Released as the lead-off single from his self-titled debut album, "Austin" went on to spend five weeks at Number One on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. This song was the first single from his gold-certified debut album, which also produced two more Top 20 hits. Although the album was released on Giant Records Nashville, Shelton was transferred to Warner Bros. Records Nashville after Giant closed in late 2001. His Blake Shelton HBB CD second and third albums, 2003's The Dreamer (his first for Warner Bros. proper) and 2004's Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill, T-Shirt Black were each certified gold as well. Shelton's fourth album, Pure BS , was issued in 2007, and re-issued in 2008 with a cover of Michael Bublé's pop hit "Home" as one of the bonus tracks. This cover was also that album's third single. A fifth album, Startin' Fires, was released in November 2008.

ALBUM FACTS Genre: Rock Packaging Specs: Premium HQ-180 Gram Vinyl Pressed at RTI Includes original insert Mastered by John Golden

Description: An album quite unlike any other in the colorful Sonic Youth canon, Bad Moon Rising captures the New York band in 1985 during its most morose phase, one that is quite forbidding yet fascinating all the same. The proper album is an eight-song tapestry of droning guitar feedback, distant clattering percussion, and dreamy vocal mumblings, all of it woven together by sullen interludes of ambient noise.

It's a piercing capstone to an otherwise hazy album and is no doubt one of the highlights of Sonic Youth's overall output.

ARTIST & INFO Hometown: New York Sonic Youth is an American rock band from New York City, formed in 1981. In their early career, Sonic Youth was associated with the No Wave art and music scene in New York City. Part of the first wave of American noise rock groups, the band carried out their interpretation of the hardcore punk ethos throughout the evolving American underground that focused more on the DIY ethic of the genre rather than its specific sound. As a result, some consider Sonic Youth as pivotal in the rise of the alternative rock movement. The band has experienced success and critical acclaim throughout the last three decades, continuing into the new millennium, including signing to major label DGC in 1990, and headlining the 1995 Lollapalooza festival. Sonic Youth have expressed a wide variety of influences, ranging from the influential protopunk musician Patti Smith to composer John Cage. The band has been praised for having "redefined what rock guitar could do",[1] using a wide variety of unorthodox guitar tunings, and preparing guitars with objects like drumsticks and screwdrivers to alter the instruments' timbre.

ALBUM FACTS Genre: Rock Packaging Specs: Premium HQ-180 Gram Vinyl Pressed at RTI Includes original insert Mastered by John Golden

Description: EVOL was a major leap forward for Sonic Youth, but Sister is a masterpiece, demonstrating the group's rapidly evolving musicality. More than ever before, Sonic Youth's songs sound like actual songs, and their collages of noise, distortion, and alternate tunings are now used to provide texture and depth to the music, which is original, complex, and rewarding. Not only is there the full-throttle roar of "Tuff Gnarl," but there are shimmering layers of ambient harmonics and dissonance that are as haunting and challenging as any of their barrages of feedback. Furthermore, Sister has a warm sound, which lures the listeners into music that's defiantly arty but never indulgent.
