Obiat, Sun Gods In Exile, and more

Saturday, May 23, 2009

Please welcome Obiat to our ever growing Small Stone clan. We have been following the band for a little while now, and we really liked what we heard... So, we offered, and they accepted. Obiat's Small Stone debut was produced by Billy Anderson and it will hit streets late Summer/ early Fall. If you are are a fan of King Crimson influenced heavy, melodic, and dynamic rock, then you are going to really dig their new album entitled "Eye Tree Pi". Obiat will be touring their European homeland quite a bit, and also will be making their first US appearance at the SHOD Festival, and hopefully a few other East Coast dates in September. For fans of: Acid King, Sons Of Otis, Porn, Solace, etc.

The debut album "Black Light, White Lines" from Portland, Maine's Sun Gods In Exile is now officially at the plant. We should have it back sometime in early June... (Hopefully in time for their cd release party and weekend jaunt down to Virgina). What do they sound like? (we heard you say it), well, the Sun Gods In Exile are a no brainer if you have an itch for the quality Classic Rock. For an early taste of it now, feel free to trek on over to iTunes or eMusic where "Black Light, White Lines" is currently available for digital consumption. For fans of: Lynyrd Skynyrd, Alice Cooper, AC~DC, Dixie Witch, etc.

We are currently looking into doing a full on Small Stone Showcase in Boston, MA this coming September... Stay tuned for more details as they unfold.

Finally, If you have not done so already, Stop what you are doing, and go purchase the new albums from Los Natas & Valis, they both rock quite well, and you deserve 'em!  Feel free to thank us later.

Throttlerod Finishes New Album

Tuesday, April 14, 2009

From Mr. Whitehead of THROTTLEROD:

We are very happy to announce that we are putting the final touches on the new record. Listening to these songs next to Hell and High Water and Nail, it is clear that this is the biggest sounding record we`ve done! There is no release date yet but we should know something fairly soon.

In other news, we are playing shows in May, including one with CLUTCH. These will be the first shows we`ve done since October, so we`re really looking forward to getting back on stage.

5/21: Norfolk, VA - The Norva, with CLUTCH, WINO, AND MAYLENE & THE SONS OF DISASTER
5/22: Columbia, SC - New Brookland Tavern
5/23: Charlotte, NC - Snug Harbor
5/24: Greenville, SC - The Handlebar

In other news, MTV has been using a few of our songs on their new Nitro Circus featuring Travis Pastrana. There is a page up for us at soundtrack.mtv.com/throttlerod. Head over there, register, and vote for us (often). Apparently, this is how MTV will pick music going forward.

Lastly, we`re now on Facebook, so stop by and be a fan.
