| The AmpHead Feature Releases:
THE RAVEONETTES - LUST LUST LUST "Their most engrossing album to date" 8/10 - NME "A dark and dirty collection of spanking electro fuzz combined with 50’s surf rock that is, frankly, mindblowing" 9/10 - Rocksound Mag "A bleak, uncompromising masterpiece, it’s their best yet" 4½/5 -The Fly Magazine "Lust Lust Lust does the Raveonettes proud" 4/5 - The Guardian "Their most exciting collection" - The Times "In a world of pre-packed mush this is brilliantly unforgettable" 4/5 - The Sun "As magnificent as ever" 4/5 - The Daily Express BOOM BOOM SATELLITTES - EXPOSED The Hottest new duo to hit Australia are Japan’s Boom Boom Satellites who will debut here with their album Exposed - out nationally through AmpHead. “Like The Prodigy fighting underworld with bloody big sticks” (NME) Tokyo’s Boom Boom Satellites offer a brutal clash of high-tech hooks, renegade rhythm and distortion-drenched guitar. The brainchild of Masayuki Nakano and Michiyuki Kawashima, Boom Boom Satellites have proven themselves one of Japan’s most exciting crossover acts, touring the US with such artists as Underworld, Fatboy Slim and Moby, performing at festivals worldwide (including Glastonbury(1998) and LEEDS(2004)), and headlining the White Stage at Japan’s vast Fuji Rock Festival in 2007. Their bombastic three-piece live show is not to be missed. The duo’s 2006 release ‘On’ was voted the best album of the year in Japanease magazine. This year they released a DVD of their Japan tour (BOOM BOOM SATELLITES JAPAN TOUR 2006 at STUDIO COAST), and the single ‘Easy Action’ appeared alongside M.I.A., Basement Jaxx and Carl Craig on the soundtrack to the mammoth anime movie Vexille, which will be released soon in the UK. LEVON’S CROWN - PARLOUR GAMES Originally from the sleepy shores of New Zealand and once known by the name of Revolver, the guys from Levon’s Crown have delivered an album that has been described by the stiffest of critics as “The perfect soundtrack to debauchery and good times” (Reuben Bonner , Rip it Up Magazine). The album has received epic support so far, notably the track Skinny Moon being licensed for all television and radio advertising for Cricket Australia in 2008 and three tracks from their album featured on the soundtrack to the new award winning TV show, Outrageous Fortune. Recorded and produced with the aid of one of NZ’s best, Chris Van de Geer, the album won the NZ Music Awards for Best Production and Engineering. FORGIVEN RIVAL - THIS IS A WAR Forgiven Rival are pushing themselves to the forefront of Australia’s music scene with talent, confidence and an unbeatable stage show. Anchored in the aggression of bands like Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying while channelling the pop sensibility of Story of the Year and Cartel, Forgiven Rival create a captivating sound all their own.They have been working hard, playing more than any of their scene counterparts and raising their profile by sharing the stage with Parkway Drive, Silverstein, Boys Night Out, Behind Crimson Eyes, House vs. Hurricane, Carpathian, The Getaway Plan and more. The early next year will see the release of their debut album through the breakout label El Shaddai Records as they continue their entry into the music stratosphere both in Australia and across the globe. Buckle up...you won’t want to miss the ride. CLAIRE CLARKE - UNHINGED For 18-year-old Claire Clarke, the release of her debut album UNHINGED is the birth of an Australian artist confident and ready to stride onto the international stage. UNHINGED takes a more edgy approach than Claire’s debut EP Alter Ego, think the spunk (and punk) of Avril Lavigne and Perth’s own Suze DeMarchi meets the intellectual intercourse of Alanis Morissette. Now is the time for Claire Clarke to emerge as one of Australia’s most promising young female artists.Look at life from a different angle by discovering UNHINGED released through Bluestone Records. ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------- ABOUT AMPHEAD’S SERVICESAmpHead is quite literally, a one-stop shop for distribution (both digital – globally – and physical – nationally within Australia), manufacturing, synchronisation, marketing and promotion; offering: Digital Distribution… Throughout 73 countries, to more than 160 online retailers and 250 mobile companies worldwide.
