There's a relevatory article in the new issue of CCM magazine(with Jars of Clay on the cover for what has to be the three hundredth time) on Tooth and Nail Records and its president and founder, dude by the name of Brandon Ebel. Did you know Ebel's grandfather forked over a loan so his erstwhilte grandson could start up the Nail? I didn't know that either. And no T&N artist has ever won a Dove Award. Check out CCM online.
In other print-mag news, the new issue of Feed is out and spectacular. These kids from outside Toronto have one of the slickest-looking magazines out there, whatever genre or affiliation. Such class. We WILL be that good someday. You can view some of the goodness online at feedstop.com, but it just isn't the same as holding this piece of greatness in your hot little hands. Find it and buy it. Mars iLL are this month's cover artists, and Dust is wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs t-shirt!
indievision music has a wack of news concerning their roster, particularly some auditions for Forgotten Arrival, who've lost a couple members, as well as some Dismissed information. Hit it up. What up, California??
Haste the Day, out of Indianapolis, have signed with Solid State Records. The band's debut, Burning Bridges, has a tentative release date of March 4th/04. I've heard a track from these guys from their first EP and it's pretty tight.
David Allen has hinted that he's in the mood for a new hxc. Well! Wouldn't THAT be innnneresting.
Ill Harmonics have added a drummer: producer/emcee Blake Knight's brother GiB(we don't know what it means either). The upcoming third album is called Monkey Business.
hxcmp3 is apparently a venture involving David Allen(hxc.com) and Jorel(unshadowed.com, sweetdisaster's very own host!) and aims to fill the void left by mp3.com's buyout. I don't follow such things very closely, not having my own computer, but hey, someone will be interested. [buzzgrinder]
Check this out: a new Cave In video!! [theprp]
Oh heavens: Unearth's new album will be produced by Adam D.(Killswitch Engage). This record will probably kill us all, and I for one look forward to being mauled.
Stolen straight from Kevin Carson, aka The Guru(that's just what we call him): "As everyone has heard already Edgar Bronfman has purchased the Warner Music Group for 2.6 billion dollars. That’s a lot of cheddar! So what happens now? Well, like any billionaire that buys a failing company, you start making cuts and restructure the company. Looks like Elektra and Atlantic will be merging and then a lot of layoffs. And after all this happens people still want to get into the music business." [thescout]
Daaaang: 1340mag has done it again, with exclusive interviews with Denali, Queensryche and even P.O.D.. Wow. Go read!
