Sadly, this is the final release from this beloved New Jersey based band. Recorded with Producer Brian McTernan (Hot Water Music, Senses Fail), Resolution proves HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW learned much from their six years together. The album kicks off in grand HIPV style with “Bendy” possibly the best song ever recorded by HIPV, catchy and charming as hell. The rest of the album charges with big rock numbers, like “Heavy Breathing” and “Like An Ocean” and slower paced but powerful songs like “The Lake House.” Touted as one of the “greatest bands to emerge from the North Jersey music scene,” HIPV couldn't have ended on a higher note than with Resolution. HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW released Life In Dreaming in 2005 and a self-titled EP in 2003. HIPV has a combined sales history of more than 86K records sold. The band announced its split in January of this year citing professional and creative differences. HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW is Joe Reo (lead vocals), Rob Freeman (guitar, vocals), Spencer Peterson (drums), Chris Amato (bass), and Mike Saffert (guitar). Created and led by brother and sister team Richard Reines and Stefanie Reines, Drive-Thru Records has been at the forefront of discovering unique musical talent since 1996. Originally signing artists such as Dashboard Confessional, New Found Glory, Something Corporate, Senses Fail, Finch and The Starting Line, their current roster includes, The Early November, Hellogoodbye, Steel Train, I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody’s Business, Allister, Hidden In Plain View, Halifax, I Am The Avalanche, An Angle, Socratic, Dave Melillo and House Of Fools. Since its inception, Drive-Thru Records has soundscanned over 7 million records. In December of 2004, the Reineses launched a sister label to Drive-Thru called Rushmore Records. The Rushmore Records’ roster includes Houston Calls and Self Against City. DRIVETHRURECORDS.COM _________________________________________________________________________________________ AUGUST BURNS RED – MESSENGERS NEW RECORD IN STORES TODAY - EXCLUSIVE STREAM ON DECOYMUSIC.com STARTING TODAY!!! Messengers, the second record to drop from the minds and hands of Lancaster, PA quintet August Burns Red is more than just a collection of 11 raging metal songs that ravage the ears of their listeners with technical skill and immense passion. The record is, in fact, not only a musical collaboration, but also a lyrical one, where every member of the band contributed to the lyrical content with their own thoughts, ideas and messages. Hence the record’s intriguing title. “We all contributed to the lyrics on this one whereas on Thrill Seeker our singer did all the writing,” Brubaker explains. “We all offered different ideas. Each of us wrote a set of lyrics and we’d pick a song we thought they’d fit with. It was a collaboration rather than one person.” August Burns Red, who initially formed in March of 2003, began this writing process almost immediately after finishing their shattering debut, Thrill Seeker, at the end of 2005, collecting ideas to follow up that disc with something even bigger. The five members of August Burns Red spent almost the entire year and half they were touring in support of Thrill Seeker penning the songs that landed on Messengers, eventually entering the studio in February 2007 in Nashville with Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Himsa, Dark Tranquility, Extol), with whom the fivesome co-produced the album. The group spent the month refining the tracks into the aggressive, pounding songs you hear on the finished album. “I think we wanted to continue with what our style is- stay in our niche- but expand upon it,” Brubaker says of the album. “It’s two years after our last record so we’re obviously going to be better at our instruments and more mature as songwriters. So to me it’s a natural progression from our album before.” The album ranges from the heavily throbbing, double-bass-driven “Composure” to the crushing “An American Dream,” a song that drags the listener along by Luhrs’ callous screams and the band’s penchant for driving, metallic guitar riffs and intricate drumwork. The complexity of August Burns Red’s songwriting is apparent throughout, a clear indication of a band with rabid ambition and a burgeoning talent for crafting tight, compelling songs. Longtime fans fear not, though; Messengers is still the product of the same intense band who continue to blow the minds of everyone lucky enough to witness their memorable live show. “I think it sounds like us,” Brubaker notes of Messengers. “But it’s more mature and musicianship-wise it’s way better. It’s much more technical. I think it really shows how far we’ve come.” AUGUST BURNS RED and DecoyMusic.com proudly announce that MESSENGERS, the band’s JUNE 19th Solid State Records release will be exclusively streamed on the website, starting today and wrapping up on June 21st at 11:59pm CST. The Lancaster, Pennsylvania based hardcore act will be bringing their crushing sound across the states all summer long. AUGUST BURNS RED have toured along the likes of As I Lay Dying, Terror, Chiodos, Between the Buried and Me, Bleeding Through, Haste The Day amongst many more.

The single has also shipped to radio and garnered a number of more than positive responses and the same titled CD is set for release on September 11, 2007. “The song has just moved to power rotation and has taken on a life of its’ own. This has had the most reaction of any record this year.” Kris Henderson, WMPH 91.7 FM Radio “Jupiter Rising has the absolute summer smash on iParty Radio for 2007 with ‘Electropop.’ Instant reaction from day one with emails and AIM requests as well as people trying to find out how they can purchase their own copy. This one is hot like fire and perfect for hot summer nights. You can't afford to wait on this one any longer.” Will Calder at iParty Radio.com Jupiter Rising is comprised of two unique individuals, Jupiter Rising founder and beatbox tycoon Spencer Nezey and the unique voice of Jessie Payo, whose hybrid sound completes the duo. “Electropop,” the title cut and first single from the CD was produced by “J.R.” Rotem (who recently produced Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls” and Rihanna’s hit single “S.O.S.”) will hit the airwaves on June 5th. Additionally, video director Paul “Coy”Allen (whose most recent video, “Give It To Me” for Timbaland was a world-wide smash) has shot a video for the single. New York City hard rock trio, ZO2 is set to release their Riker Hill With tracks like, “She Believes,” “If You See Kay,” and “Isolate” Featuring brothers Paulie Z (vocals, guitar) and David Z (vocals, “Aint It Beautiful” will be the first release for ZO2’s new label, ZO2’s powerful live show has been lauded in reviews worldwide.

The buzz for the label and its artists only heightened in 2006 with the release of the reunited Boot Camp Click LP, The Last Stand, and Sean Price’s massive sophomore solo-LP, Jesus Price Superstar, which firmly re-established the Boot Camp Click as one of Hiphop’s most talented collectives ever assembled and Sean Price as one of Hiphop’s most engaging lyricists. Since the release of Sean Price’s Jesus Price Superstar, Duck Down has undergone a distribution change which promises to further solidify its position, as Duck Down Records is now back under the powerhouse Koch Records umbrella. In addition, the Duck Down website (www.duckdown.com) has been completely revamped with a brand new look and features and now includes a Duck Down shop for its legion of devoted fans worldwide. Over the next few months, Duck Down will be releasing a host of new projects; including Sean Price’s “Master P” mixtape, Steele’s (of Smif N Wesson) “Hotstyle Takeover” mixtape and Boot Camp Clik’s “Casualties Of War” which will be released on 8-14-2007 (Casualties Of War is not the latest “official” Boot Camp Clik LP, but a collection of tracks recorded for The Last Stand and various solo-projects from Boot Camp Click members solo-projects that were not previously released). While Heltah Skeltah continue to work on their forthcoming LP and even as rumors swirl about Sean Price being courted by major labels, Sean will begin working on his next solo-LP, Mic Tyson, the projects slated to arrive in the fall of 2007 are LP’s from Smif N Wesson, a still untitled collaborative LP from Sean Price, Black Milk and Guilty Simpson (which all three members are currently in Detroit finishing) and the highly-anticipated Buckshot and 9th Wonder sequel The Formula (their official follow-up of Chemistry). While the Duck Down name, its history and artists are widely renowned and branded throughout the Hip-Hop landscape, thelabel is branching out to begin to distribute and promote artists from those outside the typical Boot Camp Click artist structure and negotiations are already under way with a few up-and coming artists and iconic rap legends; this change signifies a major transition in the label, as it becomes a home to develop and market artists of all flavors. The first such project of this transition will be Special Teamz (EDO. G’s collective group, which consists of EDO. G, Slaine and Jaysuan) debut “Stereotypez,” which is currently slated for a 9-25-07 release date and will include production from DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Marco Polo, Jake One and Ill Bill and guest appearances from Sean Price, Buckshot, Devin The Dude, Ill Bill and Jamie Jasta of Hatebreed among others. ‘Between the Devil and the Sea’ tracklisting: US Tour Dates: * with The Deadly Syndrome + Let’s Go Sailing! Oh My! More Info! Wiley, the pioneer, the founding father, the maverick, the relentless innovator, releases his brand new (and possibly last) album this September on Big Dada Recordings. A blazing return to the experimental crucible of the East London music known as grime, "Playtime Is Over" offers everything that is most brutal, cutting edge, funny, clever, terrifying and moving about the sound and the world which created it. Over the course of 15 tracks, Wiley boasts of his pre-eminence, tells stories of his life and background, reveals a sensitive side that won't surprise anyone who has met him, bigs up Bow and, in general, splatters his life and thoughts and feelings over beats in a way which hasn't been bettered in the short but incident-packed history of a scene whose mainstream acceptance is barely five years old. The majority of the music on "Playtime Is Over" is produced by the man himself, with occasional assistance from the likes of JME ("No Qualms") and Maniac (the aural assault of "Bow E3.") The handful of guest MCs and vocalists on the album were equally carefully selected; one-time rival and rising star Scorcher lends his musical flow to 'Fly Boy,' Jukie Mundo's ultra-tight delivery rails over 'Stars' and the dulcet tones of Rachel provides the chorus to 'Come Lay With Me.' Rather than the 'pop' experiments that were forced on Wiley while producing Roll Deep's "In At The Deep End," here he revels in his ability to weld together screeching keyboards, elastic bass drops and pounding beats into instantly catchy, hugely more-ish bursts of noise. Right from the opening bars of "50/50" you know you're in for a treat and it doesn't let up through his tales of trouble in South West London ("Slippin'"), jokes about the Grime scene's internal rivalries ("Getalong Gang"), or his exhortations for the scene around him to realise it's time to get serious ("Playtime's Over"). In between, Wiley also shows himself the master of a different type of approach, on a heartfelt and funny dedication to his newborn daughter ("Baby Girl") or when reaching out to his sometime prodigy and fellow Bow boy, Dizzee Rascal ("Letter 2 Dizzee"). Wiley aka Eski-Boy aka Igloo-Boy is the true founding father of grime. He pioneered the music as a member of Pay As U Go Cartel, then with his crew Roll Deep Entourage and as a white label star, through which he refined the ice cold sound of eski-beat. His first album, "Treddin' On Thin Ice" was released by XL and he produced and masterminded most of Roll Deep's album "In At The Deep End" (Relentless). Since leaving XL he has inspired the grime world through his "Tunnel Vision" mixtapes which sell in their tens of thousands and last year he self-released his own album "2nd Phaze". This album sold astounding figures without any proper distribution and "Playtime Is Over" contains three tracks from it that deserved to reach a still wider audience. Wiley is a true maverick who has recently announced that he will retire from MCing after the release of "Playtime Is Over" and the grime world would be an infinitely poorer place without the many stories and legends the man has inspired. Wiley joins the Big Dada family right as the label reaches its 10th anniversary milestone. Which is fitting, given that Big Dada's been putting out the some of the most futuristic hip hop shit you've ever heard. Perhaps the following names ring a bell: Roots Manuva. Spank Rock. Mike Ladd. King Geedorah. The Majesticons / Infesticons. TTC. Ty. Diplo. All have given us insight into that parallel universe where the future runs concurrently with the present to shape the sound of things to come. Big Dada is arguably the only UK hip hop label with a firm commitment to promoting innovative artists from the UK hip hop underground internationally, while supporting forward-thinking hip hop artists from other geographic centers. Big Dada will celebrate its incredible music catalogue over the last decade with a CD / DVD retrospective and tour dates this Fall. 1) 50/50 DECADE DECADE CD Track Listing: 1.
