Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of BLACKWOOD CREEK self titled debut album on December 4th 2009 in Europe and January 12th 2010 in the USA.

BLACKWOOD CREEK is a Kip Winger side project put together with his brother Nate on drums and childhood friend Peter Fletcher on guitar. It all actually started in 1969 in Littleton, Colorado when a 7 year old Kip Winger walked up to Peter Fletcher and said: "Hey, you got big lips, you wanna fight?". Fletcher then stood up and towered over Winger at which point they started a band instead! They reconvened in the basement of the Wingers house where Kip's older brother Nate was pounding on the drums. Blackwood Creek was born.

They went on to play every Jr. High and High school and eventually night clubs in their path, performing songs by their favourite bands like Grand Funk, Black Sabbath, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and their original songs which they were particularly passionate about, to the point of getting fired from jobs for not playing enough popular material.

In 1980 they went their separate ways. Nate and Fletcher went to Los Angeles, Kip went to New York, where he landed a gig with Alice Cooper and then went on to form Winger. Nate recorded with many bands in L.A. including Ratt, Kix, Europe. Fletcher formed the Pigmy Love Circus, including drummer Danny Carey from Tool.

Blackwood Creek reformed in 2007 to record 11 new songs. It's obvious that the chemistry is still rock solid. These 11 tracks embody 40 years of blood, sweat and tears of 3 musicians who started out together, went their separate ways and reform on common ground.

"Blackwood Creek" includes:

Out In Outer Space; Nothing But The Sun; Your Revolution; Dead Stung; After Your Heart; Albatross; Jimmy And Georgia; Rack Of Greed; Love Inspector; Joy Ride; Wooden Shoe.

On Cracker's latest single "Friends" from their recent album, Sunrise In The Land Of Milk and Honey (in stores now through 429 Records) cofounders David Lowery and Johnny Hickman still manage to embrace their deep-rooted alt-country sensibilities as witnessed on this rustic, outlaw country track

On Cracker's latest single "Friends" from their recent album, Sunrise In The Land Of Milk and Honey (in stores now through 429 Records) cofounders David Lowery and Johnny Hickman still manage to embrace their deep-rooted alt-country sensibilities as witnessed on this rustic, outlaw country track. "Friends" was originally penned by Hickman for his own 2005 Palmhenge album, and is now offered up as an affectionate yet hysterical duet between Lowery and Drive-By Truckers' Patterson Hood

As Hickman explains about the track "It's a song about what we do and lifelong friendships. Everybody's got one of those friends who sticks with you through thick and thin and can laugh about your foibles." Lowery also added that "Johnny wrote 'Friends' just to sort of play with the country-buddy kind of thing. When he originally put it on his solo record, he didn't do it as a duet, and I thought that was kind of a shame. I was like, 'It needs to be told with two people.' "

Lowery, Hickman and Hood are also featured in a simple yet highly-effective video for "Friends" (directed by Jason Thrasher) where the threesome were shot spontaneously - without rehearsals - and captured in black-and-white – lending somewhat of an updated old-school outlaw vibe to it.

No Depression recently aired the video premier of "Friends" on their site, and it can now also be viewed here on Cracker's YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/crackerrocks

After seven months of successfully touring the U.S. and Europe in support of Sunrise In The Land Of Milk And Honey Cracker will embark on a very special tour of Iraq for U.S. soldiers in November. (For safety reasons the promotor is unable to give specific dates/cities for this tour. Interestingly enough, the band won't even get their itineraries until arriving in Kuwait and Iraq). Freedom Radio in Baghdad (the only American radio station in Iraq) has already gotten behind Cracker with heavy spins from both their new record and extensive back-catalogue of hits.

As cofounder David Lowery explains of the tour, "After writing a red meat politically incorrect song in the slangy dialect of US serviceman in Iraq, it's no surprise that we were asked to walk the walk in addition to talking the talk. So be it. Yalla Yalla."

Columbia Records and Favorite Gentlemen are excited to announce the video premiere for Manchester Orchestra's second single, "Shake It Out," on MySpace. The video is a brilliant homage to 1980's action films (tongue firmly planted in cheek).

The powerfully epic "Shake It Out," the second single from Manchester Orchestra's second album, Mean Everything To Nothing, was just sent to Modern Rock radio and was met with great excitement. "I've Got Friends," the first single from Mean Everything To Nothing spent 26 weeks on the Billboard Modern Rock chart and reached the #8 spot at its peak. Alternative Press recently named the song as one of the top 100 songs of the decade.

Manchester Orchestra just finished hugely successful tours with Brand New as well as Silversun Pickups. They will be joining Brand New and Glassjaw for their very special hometown show at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, NY, on November 28th. They are off to Europe in November to open for Biffy Clyro and to do headline dates in Germany.

Upon their return, the band will be partnering with rock radio stations for the following holiday shows in December:

12/2     101.9 RXP Holiday Event     Hammerstein Ballroom     New York, NY

12/3     WBRU Holiday Bizarre     Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel     Providence, RI

12/5     WPBZ Buzz Bake Sale 2009     Cruzan Amphitheater     West Palm Beach, FL

12/6     97X Next Big Thing     Ford Amphitheater     Tampa, FL

12/12     KBZT Holiday Hootenanny @ RIMAC     UCSD Campus     La Jolla, CA

12/15     Q101 Twisted Christmas     House of Blues     Chicago, IL

Flyleaf have just added Memento Mori webisodes parts 3 and 4 to their Kyte Channel. In the 3rd webisode the band talks about the art

Flyleaf have just added Memento Mori webisodes parts 3 and 4 to their Kyte Channel. In the 3rd webisode the band talks about the artwork behind Memento Mori, which was created by bassist Pat Seals, using a woodcut technique. In the clip, guitarist Sameer beams, "Pat is an amazing artist. We've kinda assigned him to doing all the artwork on the record, videos, and for photo shoots." He later exclaims, "The whole texture of woodcutting and the way it looks, it has a really beautiful feel to it."

In the 4th webisode the band talks about the photo shoots for Memento Mori, as well as the album packaging (the scenery for which was also created by bassist Pat Seals). Vocalist Lacey describes the meaning behind the scenery: "The scene comes out of a story about a King who won a battle and came home victorious, where a slave (me), traveled behind him saying, "Memento Mori" (remember mortality)." Later on in the clip Pat talks about brainstorming ideas for music videos. "Sameer has actually been taking the reigns on brainstorming ideas with different directors we have....it kind of freed up some of the weight off the location and the theme of the video. It allowed for some of the creative aspects to come through us."

Memento Mori arrives in-stores everywhere on 11/10.

The band is currently on tour with Paper Tongues throughout the fall. Dates are as follows:

Nov. 3rd in Seattle, WA @ Neumos Crystal Ball Reading Room

Nov. 4th in Portland, OR @ Hawthorne Theatre

Nov. 6th in Salt Lake City, UT @ Murray Theater
