Banquets – New Video Premier at Alternative Press

By , 8 December, 2011, No Comment

BANQUETS – Releases Video For “Sometimes A Wolf”
——————————————————————————————————

* Premiering exclusively at Alternative Press
* Top Button, Bottom Shelf available now
* Upcoming Winter shows

——————————————————————————————————

BANQUETS (Jersey City, NJ) has unveiled the video for “Sometimes A Wolf,” a track from the band’s debut full-length, Top Button, Bottom Shelf, on Black Numbers (Grey Area, Go Rydell, Luther, PJ Bond). The video was directed by Kevin Slack (The Gaslight Anthem, Dave Hause). You can watch the exclusive premier of the video courtesy of Alternative Press.

Top Button, Bottom Shelf is available now. The vinyl was limited to 500 on three different colorways (100 Pink w/ Black Swirl, 150 Blue w/ Silver Swirl, 250 Yellow w/ Blue Swirl). A limited edition CD version is also available here. You can download Top Button, Bottom Shelf for $6 at the Black Numbers’ Bandcamp. Of course, the album is also available digitally from iTunes and other online retailers.

You can still head over to Rock Sound to hear/download “The Sound Of Money”. RCRD LBL has an exclusive mp3 for the track “Fireplug” as well. Additionally, you can also stream the track “Forever Bender” at Punknews.org.

Top Button, Bottom Shelf blows all expectations and pre-conceived notions out of the water. The ten songs that make up the band’s debut full-length build and hold the momentum for an incredibly rewarding and all too short 25 minutes. Waiting for some lull or filler to catch your breath is fruitless as the band delivers gem after gem. Of course you can talk of the band’s pedigree, Banquets lead singer Travis Omilian was the original singer for Let Me Run and other members have played in bands such as Outsmarting Simon, Static Radio NJ, The Stand In and The Banner, but all that undersells just how quickly Banquets have grown into their very own exciting entity. No doubt the past experiences served them well but Banquets have upped the ante for all melodic pop/punk rock with Top Button, Bottom Shelf.

Banquets has four shows on the horizon with Ignite, Grey Area, Saves The Day, Senses Fail and Ensign.

 

UPCOMING SHOWS

PJ Bond – Song Premier @ Alternative Press / European Tour

By , 14 November, 2011, No Comment

PJ BOND – Song Premier: Video / Download at Alternative Press

• Watch live video / Download mp3 for “I’m In A Bad Way”
• Two additional tracks to debut @ Alternative Press in coming weeks
• Currently touring Europe, UK (11/13 – 12/20)

——————————————————————————————————

The well-traveled PJ Bond has teamed up with Alternative Press to premier a brand new song, “I’m In A Bad Way.” You can watch PJ and his brother, Brian Bond, perform the track live in Lynchburg, Virginia on a stopover during their recent tour to the FEST in Gainesville, FL. The song can also be downloaded in mp3 format here.

This new offering – which will likely appear on a TBD 2012 vinyl release from Black Numbers – is one of three new songs that will make their debut at Alternative Press over the course of the next two weeks. Check back to the magazine’s website on November 19th and 26th for video / mp3 premiers of “Nevermind” and “Reasons.”

Included with the premier of “I’m In A Bad Way” are the lyrics and a written intro from the always-insightful Bond as he discusses playing music, traveling the world and the overwhelming generosity of the folks he’s met along the way. He also gives a detailed description of the songwriting process and how it came to fruition. It’s an engaging read from a man whose lifestyle and choices not only embody the true nature of Punk Rock but who is always searching for new and creative ways to connect with music fans and people in general.

On that note, Bond is once again circling the globe, this time playing shows across Europe and the UK for the next five weeks. Tour dates are below and as always, if you’d like to attend a show, talk to PJ or maybe give him a couch to crash on, email me here or contact PJ directly here.

PJ Bond is the former front man for Outsmarting Simon (Triple Crown Records) and Marigold, and the New Brunswick, NJ native has also played in The Color Fred and Communipaw. His last two releases – the 2009 full-length You Didn’t Know I Was Alphabetical and a more recent 7-song live EP, 22 April: Vienna, Austria – are available in various formats from Black Numbers. Bond’s homespun brand of indie rock and Americana is a lush and organic affair, punctuated by strikingly honest lyrics that are deeply personal yet touch on universally understood themes. If you’re able to catch him live, you’ll be treated to a heartfelt slice of creaky, back porch Americana tossed against a perfectly catchy pop backdrop. Still, Bond tosses in a bit of everything, from rustic, uptempo alt-country rockers to haunting, melancholy acoustic offerings and sweetly infectious indie numbers. For fans of Rocky Votolato, Neutral Milk Hotel, Whiskeytown and Elliott Smith.

Luther – On Tour

By , 13 October, 2011, No Comment

LUTHER – Fall Tour (OCT 14 – NOV 15)
——————————————————————————————————

* In support of Siblings & Sevens
* 12″ available now on Black Numbers
* CD available from UK label Disconnect Disconnect

——————————————————————————————————

Luther (Philadelphia, PA) are heading out on tour in support of the band’s newest release, Siblings & Sevens. Luther will be playing shows with an amazing itinerary of bands that includes Anti-Flag, Banner Pilot, Broadway Calls, Dead To Me, Spraynard, The Bouncing Souls, The Great Explainer, The Holy Mess, Timeshares and Tom May (The Menzingers).

Siblings & Sevens was released on 12″ vinyl via Black Numbers (Grey Area, Go Rydell, Banquets) in August. The vinyl is limited to 500 on three different colorways (100 x opaque blue / 200 x opaque white / 200 x opaque gold). A limited edition CD version is available from UK label, Disconnect Disconnect. Of course, Siblings & Sevens is also available digitally from Bandcamp, iTunes and other online retailers. For more information, go here.

You can still hit up a bunch of exclusive streams and downloads at various sites. Head over to Rock Sound to hear “This Is Like Fight Club”. Additionally, RCRD LBL premiered “There’s Always Money” and you can still download an exclusive mp3 for the song here. And don’t forget that “The Communion” is still streaming at Absolute Punk as well.

Forming in late 2010 Luther bring back memories of a simpler and more organic time in rock music. While making no attempts to hide their punk rock roots Luther replace the overt aggression flooding the current world of punk with passion and a sincere sense of urgency. Living in South Philadelphia, Luther’s exposure to the city’s diverse music scene creates a varied sound that results in a refreshing mixture of indie, punk rock, post-hardcore and pop. Luther’s brand of songwriting comes with a natural nervousness that is layered with harmonies and an abstract approach to lyrics, all on top of a driving and unified rhythm section. Coming out swinging, Luther have played over 30 shows, an east coast tour, and recorded a 12 inch with producer Jeff Zeigler (Kurt Vile, The War on Drugs) within a four month period.

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

The Reveling – Nervous Energies Session Posted

THE REVELING – Nervous Energies Session Posted
——————————————————————————–

• Featuring two songs from Tributaries (out on Black Numbers)
• Test Pressing Contest: win limited-edition vinyl & more
• SIRIUS XM Takeover on Faction’s DIY Radio (9/18)
• Record release show this Thursday (9/8)

——————————————————————————–

The Reveling (Brooklyn, NY) recently teamed up with Nervous Energies to film an acoustic performance of two new songs from its debut full-length Tributaries. The session, which features the tracks “Charlotte Thompson” and “Unglued,” are now posted on the site and can be viewed here.

Released by Black Numbers (Grey Area, Static Radio NJ, Go Rydell, PJ Bond) earlier this summer, Tributaries was pressed on both CD and 12″ vinyl formats, with the latter being limited to 500 on three colorways (100 x clear / 150 x green / 250 x blue) and featuring gatefold jackets and an mp3 download card. The record is also available digitally from Bandcamp, iTunes and other online retailers. For more information or to grab a copy, go here.

On that note, The Reveling is currently sponsoring a contest for limited, hand-numbered vinyl test pressings of Tributaries, as well as the CD version of the record. Enter now and the band will choose three random winners on September 12th.

In other news, at 8pm on September 18th, The Reveling will host DIY Radio on Faction (SIRIUS XM Channel 41). The band’s guest spot will feature an hour of great independent and punk music, including songs from RVIVR, Dead To Me, Make Do And Mend, Grey Area, Red City Radio, Banquets and many more.

Finally, the official record release show for Tributaries is happening tomorrow (9/8) in NYC at The Local 269. Details below. As always, if you’d like to attend the show or speak with the band, drop me a line here.

Record Release Show
——————————————————————————————————

SEP 08 – New York, NY @ The Local 269, 269 E Houston St, 7pm, $7, 21+ w/ Luther, Nightmares For A Week, William Manning

Recorded by Alex Newport (Frank Turner, At The Drive-In, Rival Schools, Samiam) at Big Blue Meenie and Futureshock Studios, and mastered by Jeff Lipton (Arcade Fire, Dead Milkmen, Piebald, Sebadoh), Tributaries features 10 tracks of propulsive, highly infectious working-class punk rock that is as catchy and immediate as it is textured and nuanced. Much like The Reveling’s well-received 2009 EP, 3D Radio, this new full-length is anchored by a punchy rhythm section and plenty of throw-your-fists-in-the-air anthems. Still, Tributaries finds the band in top songwriting form, tighter and more cohesive than ever, with an even greater emphasis on the soaring harmonies that made The Reveling so irresistible in the first place.

As a compliment to the stream, the band has taken the time to dig deeper into all ten songs on the record, explaining the lyrics and ideas behind each and generally piecing Tributaries together track-by-track. Check out the Artist Insight feature at ReviewRinseRepeat.com.

And don’t forget – you can still download an exclusive mp3 for the song “Chasing My Tail” courtesy of RCRD LBL.

Recorded by Alex Newport (Frank Turner, At The Drive-In, Rival Schools, Samiam) at Big Blue Meenie and Futureshock Studios, and mastered by Jeff Lipton (Arcade Fire, Dead Milkmen, Piebald, Sebadoh), Tributaries features 10 tracks of propulsive, highly infectious working-class punk rock that is as catchy and immediate as it is textured and nuanced. Much like The Reveling’s well-received 2009 EP, 3D Radio, this new full-length is anchored by a punchy rhythm section and plenty of throw-your-fists-in-the-air anthems. Still, Tributaries finds the band in top songwriting form, tighter and more cohesive than ever, with an even greater emphasis on the soaring harmonies that made The Reveling so irresistible in the first place.

BLACK NUMBERS Announce GREY AREA / GO RYDELL split 7″
——————————————————————————————————

* Record now available for Pre-Order
* Songs now available for pay-what-you-want download on Bandcamp
* Exclusive Alternative Press streams for Grey Area and Go Rydell
* Both bands playing Generic Insight Radio Fest

——————————————————————————————————

Black Numbers are stoked to announce the first recordings from legendary NYC pop punk veterans Grey Area in over ten years! Various members have had a part in Token Entry, Kill Your Idols, Warzone and Black Train Jack amongst others. After last releasing “Fanbelt Algebra” on Victory in 2000, Grey Area did successful reunions this past summer in Philly and NYC and then were surprise guests for last summer’s This is Hardcore Fest. Grey Area will be headlining Generic Insight Radio Fest and then heading over to Belgium for one show at Groezrock Festival.

Joining them on this split 7″ (limited to 500 – 100 clear, 150 red, 250 blue) will be Florida’s Go Rydell, who are following up their highly-acclaimed debut LP “The Golden Age” on Black Numbers. Go Rydell recently made the cut for AP’s 100 Bands You Need To Know in 2011. Mixing heartfelt lyrics with short bursts of punk rock fury to create a fun, positive atmosphere, Go Rydell’s dynamic take on melodic hardcore is ripe with conviction and a palpable sincerity. With a raw injection of energy and enthusiasm, Go Rydell push beyond its influences with supreme confidence.

Check out the exclusive streams over on Alternative Press for Grey Area and Go Rydell now.

The record is now available for Pre-Order. Anyone who orders the physical record will get the digital download ahead of the physical shipping date. In celebration of the release and GIR Fest, Black Numbers has made the songs available ahead of time. The digital version of the record is available now via Bandcamp for the next two weeks for a pay-what-you-want sliding scale (suggested donation is $4).

As mentioned, both bands will be making an appearance at Generic Insight Radio Fest, in Brooklyln, NY March 11 + 12 @ Party Expo. The Fest includes Grey Area, Go Rydell, Restorations, Iron Chic, Slingshot Dakota, Soul Control, Mikey Erg, Daytrader, Banquets, Static Radio NJ, The Saddest Landscape, We Were Skeletons, The Holy Mess, After The Fall, Caleb Lionheart, The Great Explainer, Timeshares, Snowing, Big Eyes, Nightmares For A Week and more.

BEARTRAP PR Bands Are FEST-ing!
——————————————————————————————————

• Catch our bands as they tour to FEST 9 in Gainesville, FL (Oct 29 – 31)
• Real question remains, “How many soused, bearded punks can one city hold?”

——————————————————————————————————

It’s that time of year again, where what feels like half the Beartrap Roster asks Will and I, “Can you send out a press release regarding our tour to the FEST?”

So instead of saying “yes” 18 separate times, we decided to compose one all-encompassing FEST 9 press release. It not only highlights when and where our bands are playing during the upcoming Halloween weekend, but all the shows surrounding these three debauched days in Gainesville, FL as well. It’s basically just a friendly heads up for anyone attending the No Idea-sponsored festival or living in towns through which the bands are touring.

Check out the relevant information below for these bands: After The Fall, Annabel, Banquets, Bars Of Gold, Billy Wallace, Campaign, Carpenter, Charles The Osprey, Franz Nicolay, Go Rydell, Grown Ups, imadethismistake, Junior Battles, One Win Choice, Pianos Become The Teeth, PJ Bond, Static Radio NJ and The Great Explainer.

If you’d like to speak with any of the bands or have any guest list requests, drop me a line here.

On a semi-related note, a handful of these outfits (Annabel, Banquets, Campaign, Junior Battles, One Win Choice, and PJ Bond) have contributed previously unreleased and rare material, demos and exclusive tracks for the the Pastepunk 12th Anniversary MP3 Compilation. Featuring 17 songs from the Beartrap PR roster, the comp is available for free download for the next month. Grab it here.

* The Golden Age to be physically released August 24th
* Pre-Order 12″ Vinyl now
* Album streaming exclusively on Punknews.org

——————————————————————————————————

To celebrate the impending release of The Golden Age, the debut full-length from Orlando, FL’s Go Rydell, Black Numbers has made the ten-song album available as a donation-based download until August 16th.

The Golden Age was produced by Roger Lima (Less Than Jake, Rehasher) and mastered by Stephen Egerton (Descendents, All). Fans of Kid Dynamite and Shook Ones should definitely take note.

Go here to grab a digital copy of the record for whatever amount of money you see fit … even if that amount is zero ( you cheap, soul-less bastard ).

Of course, if you appreciate the real deal, you can pre-order the vinyl version of The Golden Age right now, which will see a slightly pushed-back release date of August 24th. The first 12″ pressing will be limited to 500 copies ( 100 Blue, 150 White, 250 Green ) and includes a free digital download which will be sent out at the time of purchase. Additionally, the band pressed limited-edition, hand-screened CDs that you can pre-order as well. Swing on by the Black Numbers webstore and grab your copies now!

The Golden Age is streaming in its entirety exclusively on Punknews.org and you can download to the title track below.

Listen to “The Golden Age” ( free mp3 )

Go Rydell formed in Orlando, Florida in 2009 with sights set on playing a style of music the members grew up on. As a result, there is a certain romanticism and pureness that emanates from the The Golden Age. Mixing heartfelt lyrics with short bursts of punk rock fury to create a fun, positive atmosphere, the band’s dynamic take on melodic hardcore is ripe with conviction and a palpable sincerity. With a raw injection of energy and enthusiasm, Go Rydell push beyond its influences with supreme confidence.

Banquets To Release European 12″

By , 7 July, 2010, 1 Comment

BANQUETS release European 12″ on COFFEEBREATH AND HEARTACHE
——————————————————————————————————

* Nothing Is Fucked Here out August 1st
* This Is Our Concern, Dude. 7″ available now on Black Numbers
* Stream This Is Our Concern, Dude. on Punknews

——————————————————————————————————

Coffeebreath And Heartache is proud to announce a very special record from Jersey City’s Banquets. The German label will be issuing the first European release from the band, entitled Nothing Is Fucked Here.

Last Month, Banquets released its debut, This Is Our Concern, Dude., on Black Numbers. The 7″ featured four songs with a title paying homage to The Big Lebowski. Now German label Coffeebreath and Heartache is following with Nothing Is Fucked Here!. The release contains the 4 songs off the debut 7“ plus two exclusive tracks that have not been released anywhere else. The six songs come on a one-sided 12“ LP with a handscreend B-side and is strictly limited to 200 copies (100 on mintgreen 180 gram wax, 100 on clear wax).

Check out a song from the releases below or you can stream This Is Our Concern, Dude. in its entirety on Punknews.

Listen to “Eleanor, I Need a Garden” (mp3)

Banquets approach to punk rock is a breath of fresh air in a crowded scene. While admittedly the band was originally formed for fun by a group of friends, Banquets’ debut 7-inch, This Is Our Concern, Dude., flashes some impressive songwriting. That should come as little surprise though given the band’s pedigree. These guys have paid their dues in previous bands. Banquets lead singer Travis Omilian was the original singer for the Let Me Run and others have played in bands such as Static Radio, The Stand In and The Banner. Those past experiences have obviously served them well as the band’s rustic brand of anthemic and melodic punk rock should have fans of The Gaslight Anthem and The Loved Ones drooling for more.
