Self-recorded in their own PA studio, Slim & Slender is the brand new 4-song EP by jubilant pop sextet The Spinto Band. The vinyl and digital only collection, out this week via Park The Van, gives us a little taste of what we can expect from the band’s next LP, also self-recorded, which is due out in 2010. Possibly some of the band’s best material yet, Slim & Slender includes extended instrumental explorations and a bouncy cover of the theme from Terry Gilliam’s Brazil.
The guys will also be heading out on the Park The Van Fall Tour in a few weeks, hitting stages along the east coast and Midwest with label-mates The Generationals and Pepi Ginsberg. Grab the EP’s lead-off track below, and get ready to catch The Spinto Band in a city near you!

OneRepublic’s new single “All The Right Moves” is available today. The powerful, drum-heavy track is poised to follow in the footsteps of their smash hit “Apologize” which ruled airwaves across the globe and became the number one most downloaded song in US digital history.
“All The Right Moves” will appear on the Colorado-based quintet’s sophomore release, Waking Up, due out on 11/17. The album will also be available in a Deluxe Edition including bonus tracks “Trap Door,” “Sucker Punch,” “Passenger,” and “It’s A Shame.”
Preview the new tune below and stay tuned for the video premiere later this week.
Cyber rockers POWERMAN 5000’s new album, Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere, is finally hitting stores this week. The collection finds the band returning to the hard groove of their earlier work which included hits like “When Worlds Collide” and “Nobody’s Real.” “We made this record with a clear vision and a purpose,” explains frontman, Spider. “We wanted to reclaim a sound we created and represent certain influences as only a band like Powerman 5000 can.
While writing, we would watch ‘Godzilla’ or ‘Ultraman’ films to ensure the sonics were on point. We knew that this record needed to sound like the footsteps of a giant robot!”
“On the surface, this album is a big fun electro metal romp…though there are bigger concepts hidden within. A quote from HG Wells sums it up best, he said, ‘Man is the unnatural animal, the rebel child of nature.’ That is an ongoing theme in the songs, our inability to find a place in our own world. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I finally feel like we have made a record that not only is exactly wanted we wanted it to be, but also a record that the fans are going to love!”
The band has released 2 singles from the new album so far, “Super Villain” and “V Is For Vampire,” and recently filmed a video for the latter with horror film director Robert Hall.
