Unblurred! with DRUMS AND TUBA: "Unconventional and unexpectedly 
appealing,
the New York City-based instrumental trio Drums & Tuba utilizes  you
guessed it  drums and tuba (plus guitar) with splendid consequences.
Produced by Andrew (Goat Boy) Gilchrist and righteous babe Ani 
DiFranco,
Vinyl Killer, D&T's fourth long-player, finds members Tony Nozero, 
Brian
Wolff and Neal McKeeby fusing classic rock, futuristic jazz, and 
heartfelt
funk... With their focus primarily on rhythm, be it from the horns, 
skins,
axe or all three, Drums & Tuba have amassed a brilliant and essential
exercise in modern sound experimentation. Killer indeed."

THE CARNIES: The Carnies, led by frontwoman Melissa Cupernall, expand 
the
storytelling idiom into the depths of rock 'n' roll with surprising 
vitality
and vision. Drawing upon the tonal colors of thunderous drums, raging
guitars and soaring vocals, the Carnies dive into love, hate, comfort 
and
fear with unparalleled force.... Melissa's vivid performance, alonside 
the
Carnies' raw energy, fuse to create an album that is a commanding and
diverse collection of ethereal rock." <http://www.the-carnies.com/>

JEN FOSTER: "[Award-winning lesbian singer-songwriter] Jen Foster 
doesn't
write songs about girls. She writes about women who are real, free from
goofy affectations. Women whose inner beauty is revealed in poignant 
moments
of honesty. Women like herself... She claims her biggest influence is 
Stevie
Nicks and other classic rockers like the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin 
and
Janis Joplin  all influential rockers, but she wears none of them on 
her
proverbial musical sleeve." <http://www.jenfoster.com>

MICHAEL NACE: "Michael Nace began playing and releasing music in 1995

the acclaimed Philadelphia math-rock trio Drill For Absentee and with 
the
support of Mindwalk Records. After nealy five years of performing, 
writing,
and experimenting radically with the forms of music, he ventured into 
his
own musical identity, fusing the rhythmic innovation of his past math 
and
post-rock endeavors with song motifs and hushed vocal stylings."
