ROCK AND ROLL IN RECORD TIME

dshiskos — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 18:58:02 +0000

It should come as no surprise that the multi-talented and always unpredictable Joel Plaskett is taking a unique approach to the launch of his next record. Starting on January 10^th, Plaskett and his band, The Emergency, will record and digitally release a song a week for 10 weeks. Plaskett is shaking up the standard process of recording and releasing, harkening back to the ’50′s and ’60′s when songs went from the studio to radio to the public very quickly. A physical version of the full record, Scrappy Happiness will be released to retail on March 27^th and will be followed by a tour starting on April 13^th.

As Canada’s authority in national culture, CBC Radio will premiere each song as it is released on Radio 2′s Drive with Rich Terfry at 5:15 p.m. EST, every Tuesday starting January 10^th through March 13^th. The new single will then be premiered on The Craig Norris Hour on CBC Radio 3 every Wednesday between 11 a.m. and noon PST. Listeners and fans alike will follow along consecutively for 10 weeks while each track is premiered.

It is an ambitious project that combines the best of both worlds – using a decades old approach to getting music to the public quickly and taking advantage of new technology to communicate and interact with audiences. Plaskett will document the process through social media with vlogs, twitter and online chats which will be available at www.cbc.ca/joelplaskett.

Starting January 10^th, each song will be made available for purchase on iTunes as it is finished.

Plaskett wrapped up 2011 by touring for his multi-award winning triple record Three with festivals and concerts in the US, the UK and Canada. Inspired by his thirty-third birthday, Three was Plaskett’s most successful project to date, garnering him a Juno award, six East Coast Music Awards, an Indie Award, two Canadian Folk Music Awards and three Music Nova Scotia Awards. He has also produced projects including David Myles’ award winning Turn Time Off and Sarah Slean’s Land from her double release Land & Sea.

nchaves — Thu, 26 May 2011 18:57:10 +0000

Eastern Conference Champions are set to release their sophomore album Speak-ahh, on June 14th on MapleMusic Recordings/Fontana North. The band is currently touring the United States with Neon Trees and will be performing in Toronto at NXNE this summer!

Recorded in downtown Los Angeles, Speak-ahh strays from the sound of their 2007 debut, Ameritown. The trio consisting of Josh Ostrander (lead vocals, guitar and piano), Greg Lyons (drums), and Melissa Dougherty (bass) are thrilled about the direction of their new album.

Eastern Conference Champions were chosen from a pool of 400 bands to contribute an exclusive song to the Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack. The resulting song “A Million Miles An Hour” received rave reviews and raised the unsigned bands profile considerably.

Speak-ahh track listing:

1.  Attica
2.  Hell Or High Water
3.  Hurricane
4. Bull In The Wild
5.  Patience
6.  How Long
7.  Offkilter
8.  Sunshine
9. Atlas
10. Where From Here
