SISTER SIN is unleashing their sophomore album, True Sound of the Underground, TODAY. Last week, the band exposed their video for the first single, “Outrage”, on Bloody-Disgusting.Com, which was quickly adopted by metal websites around the world. With tours across Europe and over 100 shows through 2 full U.S. tours, SISTER SIN has rocked the stage with the likes of Motorhead , Ill Nino, and Faster Pussycat. Dedicated to head banging, true classic metal and rock, this Swedish import embodies raw and intense energy; check it out for yourself when the band hits the road with MSG and Lynch Mob ( * on select dates.)

This band is not into retro, retread hype; this is a serious testament to the raucous spirit of true heavy metal and Rock ‘n’ Roll. If you’re into rebellious, unapologetic, intense music then you’re sure to become a fan of SISTER SIN.

William Control - “I’m Only Human Sometimes”

Have a look at WILLIAM CONTROL’s racy, sexy and provocative new music video, directed by Wayne Granville, for “I’m Only Human Sometimes” from the new album Noir below

We’re excited to see that there are not one, but TWO versions of this video? Can’t get enough of Aiden’s wiL Francis? Well, you can have double the fun with “I’m Only Human Sometimes.” The band has released a “clean-version,” and an explicit version of the video, which can be found by clicking here.

We want to warn you though, it’s a little NSFW, and we don’t want you guys getting in trouble or anything (so watch it when your parents go to bed, you rebel.)

Noir is available everywhere today! Pick up a copy and tell us what you think!

Mayday Parade stars in new movie “How To Make Love To A Woman”

Mayday Parade perform as a band in new movie How To Make Love To A Woman, set to premiere at the San Francisco United Film Festival on June 11th, 2010.

The feature film, which stars Josh Meyers (That 70’s Show, MADtv), Krysten Ritter (Confessions of a Shopaholic, She’s Out of My League) and Ken Jeong (The Hangover, Knocked Up) also features the acting debuts of Ludo’s Andrew Volpe, Yellowcard’s Ryan Key and hellogoodbye’s Forrest Kline and a band performance by Saosin. The movie will be released on DVD on July 13th, 2010 by E1 Entertainment.

Directed by music video director Scott Culver (Saliva, hellogoodbye, Ludo), How To Make Love To A Woman’s tagline is “a comedy of miscommunication between the sheets” (after the MPAA rejected “the answers don’t always come easy”), and follows lead character Andy’s (played by Josh Meyers) myriad attempts to improve his bedroom performance. He consults with everyone from a Buddhist monk to his grandmother to porn icon Jenna Jameson, receiving varying degrees of help. The movie is set at an indie record label, and was actually shot in part at the Fearless Records offices in Huntington Beach, CA.

Culver’s music connections also made for a killer soundtrack, including tracks by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, hellogoodbye, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, Say No More, Call the Cops and Jack’s Mannequin. The movie also features Ian Somerhalder (Lost, The Vampire Diaries), James Kyson-Lee (Heroes), Nora Kirkpatrick (Greek), and Eugene Byrd (8 Mile).

We’re excited!!

“ON YOUR SIDE” follows last year’s acclaimed Fueled By Ramen debut, “GREETINGS FROM…” The EP was highlighted by the singles “If Only They Knew” and “Dakota,” the latter of which ARTTM performed live on MTV’s TRL as part of a feature on America’s best unsigned bands.

The brainchild of Braintree, Massachusetts-based songwriter/musician Nick Santino, A Rocket To The Moon has toured virtually non-stop since the EP’s release, sharing bills with an array of artists, including 3OH!3, The Maine, The Cab, Cute Is What We Aim For, Secondhand Serenade, Hey Monday, This Providence, and Hit The Lights. ARTTM has proven a MySpace favorite, now with over 26 million streams and counting.

You can download “Like We Used To” now from iTunes or you can order the album “On Your Side” through the A Rocket To The Moon Webstore, or on iTunes now!

Aiden postpones European Tour

Aiden have postponed their European tour. A statement from the band can be seen behind the cut.

To everyone in the United Kingdom and Europe,

I recently posted that we were still coming overseas to do this tour. I guess I jumped the gun. Once Saosin pulled out of the tour a few of the promoters weren’t to keen on having to pull the tickets in, refund them all, then issue new ones. That coupled with some of the shows having to change venues and us trying to find a new mode of transportation, the logistics of trying to pull all of this off in 3 weeks is nearly impossible.

It’s unfair to the fans to have us show up and play some half assed shows that aren’t done properly. We are NOT canceling the tour; we are just pushing it back to December. That way we can build a good package with great bands and have the tour be worth your money.

I know it’s hard for everyone out there right now. The economy has everything twisted in knots. It’s very hard to be in a band (Unless you’re Metallica) and provide for a family at the same time. Believe me, all we want to do is come to your town and rock, and that is what we will do.

So in the mean time, instead of sitting around with our thumbs in our asses we have decided to make a new studio album. It’s been over a year and a half since we recorded knives, we already have some killer new songs and feel it’s time for a new adventure.

You all are amazing, thanks for the support.
william & Aiden

PS I wrote a special note to the fans in our new live dvd that comes out next week. Hope you all enjoy it!
