YOU SAY PARTY! WE SAY DIE!
British Columbia’s You Say Party! We Say Die! (aka YSP! WSD!) recently reinvented themselves with their spirited style of New Wave and a new depth of material that can be seen on their third release XXXX, released last month on Paper Bag Records. YSP! WSD! has embraced soul, feeling and rhythm, while still bearing the tenets of their original sound, which caused critics around the globe to embrace the band’s first two albums Hit The Floor! and Lose All Time. Collaborating with producer Howard Redekopp (Tegan and Sara, The New Pornographers), XXXX is their most intensive effort to date. YSP! WSD! will embark on a North American tour in support of XXXX, and are looking forward to returning to the US for the first time in several years.

THINK ABOUT LIFE

Think About Life is a gargantuan four-headed party machine. At the front, Martin Cesar, also of Dishwasher and Donkey Heart fame, occupies the role of the band’s primary vocal organ and lyricist. The band’s second full-length album, Family, was released initially in Canada in May 2009 on Alien8 Recordings to wide acclaim. With their album gaining fans amongst their peers, they’ve been invited to tour with several great bands, including Franz Ferdinand, Ratatat, Stars, Wolf Parade, Art Brut, You Say Party! We Say Die!, Ponytail and Land of Talk, amongst several others. Family was released October 13th 2009 in the US via Alien8 Recordings and is slated for an October 27th 2009 release in Japan on Escalator Records. In the meantime, the band is preparing a Canadian tour in November 2009, a debut tour in Brazil in December and a series of extensive tours of North America and Europe in the first half of 2010.  Stay tuned!

LITTLE GIRLS
Word about Toronto’s Little Girls started circulating earlier this year via some early blog attention from songs discovered on the band's MySpace and the subsequent release of their Tambourine EP and 12" on Brooklyn label Mexican Summer.  The band’s debut spans from the very first Little Girls track ever written to brand new material. The album was recorded only at night in a home studio with most of the songs contributing to an ongoing theme of 'growing up' and has received glowing reviews across the board from
Pitchfork, The Fader and Exclaim!, among others. The band toured has played several dates with Japandroids, and was asked to perform at the Woodsist/Captured Tracks Festival in NYC alongside Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls, Kurt Vile and Thee Oh Sees among others and played this year’s CMJ Music Marathon in NYC.
