One of my favourite bands the Swellers have today signed to Fueled by Ramen Records which I can imagine will be the start of beautiful relationship. The Swellers will release their new 7″ Welcome Back Riders, then return with a full length album towards the end of this year.

Attention music and art lovers everywhere! Sleevage is a critical analysis of all your favourite music covers from the LP’s of the 60’s to the digital artworks of now. It studies the context of the pieces just like gallery exhibits and reveals the who, what, why, when and where of each cover.

It also has good amount of comments from other fans, so there’s plenty of healthy debate on why the Sex Pistols were bollocks or what the 50′s spacegun was all about on the Foo Fighters debut album.

Go visit the Sleevage today!

Positive hardcore punks Set Your Goals recently used Twitter to generate a marketing frenzy for the new album which is due out on 21st July 2009.
They asked all their twitter followers to retweet the following message:

RT @therealsyg Check out our new song on Myspace! http://www.myspace.com/setyourgoals – New record in stores July 21st! – please RT!

In return, as a sneak peak, they would unlock one of the new tracks off the new album “This will be the death of us”. A simple but effective viral technique, which I think more bands will make the most of in time…

Go visit the Set Your Goals myspace and listen to their new tracks or even sign up to their street team if that’s your thing…
