    SAVE YOUR BREATH joins ADELINE RECORDS
    ——————————————————-

    * Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy Digital EP – out April 13th
    * Band now streaming songs on Myspace

    ——————————————————-

    Adeline Records (Green Day, AFI, Broadway Calls) welcomes its newest addition, the UK’s Save Your Breath. Fans of the label’s previous endeavors should fall for Save Your Breath’s brand of ultra melodic pop-punk.

    The band’s first release for the label will be Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy. The EP includes six songs plus 2 exclusive bonus tracks and hits your favorite digital retailer on April 13th. This marks Save Your Breath’s first US release and is for fans of Motion City Soundtrack, New Found Glory, Set Your Goals and The Wonder Years.

    Having already toured with The Wonder Years and recorded a split with Fireworks, Save Your Breath is ready to spread its wings across the fertile grounds of North America. Well-versed in hardcore, the band packs a mighty punch and has quickly made a name for itself in UK pop-punk circles. With a sharp tongue and even sharper wit, Save Your Breath hooks you with short, dynamic bursts of melody. Infused with heart and passion, Save Your Breath is a breath of fresh air in a clouded scene.

    The band is currently streaming songs from Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy on its Myspace page.

    GHOST ROBOT NINJA BEAR ( feat. Oscar Albis Rodriguez of Nakatomi Plaza ) Releases Digital Single
    ——————————————————————————————————

    * One Pedal To Another b​/​w Blood, The Tango now available as free / pay-what-you-like download
    * 2nd Single ( Staring At The Clocks b/w Carousel ) out 06/15/10
    * Release show tomorrow (03/16) in Brooklyn, NY
    * Recording Full-Length in July

    ——————————————————————————————————

    GHOST ROBOT NINJA BEAR, the newest vehicle for Nakatomi Plaza front man Oscar Albis Rodriguez, has just released its debut single, One Pedal To Another b​/​w Blood, The Tango. The two songs are now available as a free / pay-what-you-like download.

    Featuring Rodriguez on guitar and vocals, the busy musician gets a little help from friends Geoff Kraly (bass) and drummer Adam Christgau (Ludlow Lions), as well as engineering / mixing expertise from Ali Hassan (Bouncing Souls, The Loved Ones). The single is the first of two, with the second being slated for a June 15th digital release. All four songs will be available as limited-edition CDEP at shows only.

    On that note, Ghost Robot Ninja Bear will be playing its first show of 2010 tomorrow night in Brooklyn to celebrate the newest release. Rodriguez will be joined on stage by Kraly, Jordan Melkin (Ludlow Lions) and Christopher Enriquez (On The Might Of Princes, Ludlow Lions). If you’re interested in attending, drop me a line here.

    MAR 16 – Brooklyn, NY @ The Charleston w/ Money / Paper / Hearts, Rest Assured, Only Thieves

    Finally, the band will be recording its debut full-length in July at the newly constructed Guilford Sound in Vermont with Dave Snyder (Ruth Ruth, Rivington, Nakatomi Plaza ). The album will see a tentative release date in the Fall of 2010.

    PJ Bond – On Tour (UK / Europe)

    PJ BOND – Touring UK / Europe (March 16 – 29)
    ——————————————————————————–

    * In support of You Didn’t Know I Was Alphabetical
    * PJ tackles the Pink Couch

    ——————————————————————————–

    New Jersey native PJ Bond – who for the past year has spent the majority of his days living out of his car, playing shows, crashing on couches and generally making a lot of new roommates – will embark on a month-long tour of the U.K. and mainland Europe beginning on Tuesday, March 16th.

    Bond continues to tour in support of his latest full-length, You Didn’t Know I Was Alphabetical, which was released in late 2009 by Black Numbers in LP and CD format.

    The ex-Outsmarting Simon front man has played in bands such as The Color Fred, Marigold and Communipaw, but in comparison to previous endeavors, Alphabetical is a decidedly more organic, homespun affair. It’s a heartfelt slice of creaky, back porch Americana tossed against a perfectly catchy pop backdrop. Still, Bond throws a little bit of everything into the mix, from rustic, up tempo alt-country rockers to haunting, melancholy acoustic offerings and sweetly infectious indie numbers.

    Listen to “You, Too” (free mp3)

    - A brilliant collection of songs ranging from Matt Pond PA to early Wilco folk-rockers. The whole album ebbs and flows from one emotional chord to another with ease. – Verbicide
    - Bond’s eloquence and clarity approaches Paul Westerberg / Elliott Smith standards in terms of making the mundane sound essential, and vice versa. – No Depression
    - Bond combines compelling storytelling sensibilities with sobering reflections, underpinned by lush melodies and more than a hint of melancholy. – Rock Sound

    On a related note, Bond recently partook in the famed Pink Couch Sessions for the inimitable IfYouMakeIt.com. You can watch him perform the song “Baby Bones” here.

    As always, if you’d like to attend a show or speak with PJ, drop me a line here.
