Karnivool To Release Full-length "sound Awake" On Feb 16, 2010

KARNIVOOL have built a devoted army of fervent fans over the years through their captivating music, incessant touring and extraordinary live performances. After baiting us with the digital-only Set Fire To The Hive EP, KARNIVOOL prepare to award the States with the full-length that has already taken Australia and the UK by storm with the release of Sound Awake on February 16, 2010 via SIN/SonyMusic Independent Network.
Four years since their last album in their homeland of Australia, Sound Awake debuted at #2 on the national ARIA albums chart, eclipsed only by global mega-brand the Black Eyed Peas. The album has already gone GOLD in Oz and expresses Karnivool's reputation as the sharp end of the cutting edge of heavy rock in the country.
Produced by Forrester Savell (The Butterfly Effect, Mammal, Dead Letter Circus), Sound Awake is kaleidoscopic & multi-dimensional. It delivers the band's trademark sound and takes the listener to new heights as it ventures into innovative exploratory territory.
Critical praise of Sound Awake has already started rolling in from overseas. Rolling Stone Australia awarded the album 4 STARS calling it "A sprawling work of melody, mood, tempo and musicianship... Intricacy, pedantry and perfection." Dan Slessor of KERRANG! exclaims, "Their sound is a fine one indeed – exploratory and spacious, heavy, truly epic, and gorgeously melodic."
The lead track on the album, "Set Fire To The Hive," with its distorted vocals, up-tempo vibe, raw prog-punk feel and vocalist Ian Kenny's venomous delivery, sounds nothing like Karnivool have attempted before and takes the band into uncharted sonic territory.
The prog-heavy rockers decimated Los Angeles and New York City last month with mind-blowing intimate performances witnessed by fans that traveled from Seattle, Arizona, Vegas, Boston, Virginia and even Australia!
Christa Titus of Billboard and Blistering raves about the performance, "Geography won't prevent Australian band Karnivool from achieving stardom in America----the group's dynamic of propulsive rhythms, dramatic ambience, uncompromising intensity and lyrics that speak of heightened consciousness transcend all borders."
Karnivool just completed a UK tour with Skindred and are heading back to Australia in Nov to for the "Sine Waves & Mirrors" tour with Dredg. Jan 2010 sees the band hitting BIG DAY OUT with Muse, Mars Volta and Mastodon before coming back to the U.S. in March for SXSW and a national tour.
Karnivool release Sound Awake on February 16, 2010 via SIN/SonyMusic Independent Network, distributed by RED. SIN is a division of Sony Music International and releases international repertoire in the United States.

Early Sunday morning on Oct. 25th, the van carrying members of Sugar Red Drive was involved in a serious accident near Kalamazoo, MI. The vehicle hit a guardrail, spun out, and flipped over. Miraculously, no one was killed. Bass player Dave Alexander suffered the most serious injuries, breaking his arm, dislocating his elbow, and also breaking his thumb. He underwent surgery in a Kalamazoo hospital Sunday afternoon. Incredibly, the other 3 band members and tour manager only suffered bruises and abrasions. Check out a photo of their van after everyone was safely removed.
The band has cancelled their remaining tour dates in October and will resume once everyone has recovered. Their self-titled album, featuring radio hit, "One More Time," is in stores now. Check out their MySpace page for the latest updates on the band and make sure to pick up your copy of the album today!

Lifehouse got their new single "Halfway Gone" up for listen at their official website, www.lifehousemusic.com
New album info: With Smoke & Mirrors, Lifehouse's fifth studio album, lead singer/guitarist Jason Wade, drummer Rick Woolstenhulme, bassist Bryce Soderberg and newly added guitarist Ben Carey, along with long time producer Jude Cole, have created a set that combines their live sound with great record making.
Smoke & Mirrors started out with a mission to capture the live, rock side of the band; a sound they had perfected after three years of solid touring. Songs like "Smoke & Mirrors," "Wrecking Ball" and "Had Enough" (with guest vocals by Chris Daughtry) have a very raw and stage driven feel to them. However, after living with the early tracks and experimenting with others, a piece of the puzzle seemed to be missing.
Equal to their enthusiasm for the live sound, they also love to make studio records. After all, one of Lifehouse's greatest achievements is the tens of millions of radio spins garnered over the span of 4 albums, so to create a record solely focusing on the sound from their show felt off balance.
A trip back into the studio to experiment in more of a "record making" effort produced tracks like "All In," "Here Tomorrow Gone Today" and the first single "Halfway Gone" co written by Kevin Rudolf (Let it Rock). Songs sure to be heard on radio for years to come.
With this light hearted concept and fitting title, Smoke & Mirrors properly defines the best that Lifehouse has to offer, showcasing a band that not only makes hit records but can rock a stage!

Puddle of Mudd, the Los Angeles-based quartet known for huge rock radio singles, is gearing up to release their fourth studio album entitled Volume 4: Songs in the Key of Love & Hate.
Recording Volume 4 in Vancouver & Los Angeles, Puddle Of Mudd (POM) smartly re-enlisted the talents of Brian Howes, who produced the 2007's Famous and John Kurzweg, who produced 2001's album, Come Clean. "Even though we hate messing with success, we felt adding newcomer Brain Virtue to the producer mix would be a welcome change," say frontman Wes Scantlin. "What we got is 10 tracks of exactly what we were looking for," adds Scantlin.
"It's easy and predictable to say I'm most proud of this record," says Scantlin, adding "but I think it's more appropriate to say I'm most proud of what we've accomplished as a band to this point."
The album which will hit stores December 8th on Flawless / Geffen Records features "Spaceship," a hook-heavy single ready to launch into radio rotation. "Spaceship" will be available on iTunes and Amazon starting 10/27. For the latest information on Puddle of Mudd including new tour dates visit www.PuddleOfMudd.com.
