The new Miniboone EP, "Big Changes" is out today! Yes! Today! Meaning right now! Why are we so full of exclamation marks? Because MiniBoone is the most exciting new band on the planet. The intensity of their amazing live shows was actually captured on this new recording. How do I know? I was there to record it, ya big dummy! But you don't have to take my word for it - read what these guys have to say:

"MiniBoone has fast become one of Brooklyn's most energetic and entertaining live bands. Their spastic and nervy live shows have paid off, with mentions in many blogs, including msn.com's CMJ coverage. The praise is well deserved; their songs are catchy, with jerky, stop-start riffs that recall the best moments of post-punk icons Devo and Talking Heads, with a healthy dose of the modern indie-rock of Arcade Fire and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah." from QuietColor

"Of course not everything sent to me is adored the way I immediately fell for the pop hooks and catchy sounds of MiniBoone's debut EP. These six songs are instantaneous, songs that scream to be listened to again and again, and nag at you if you don't listen to them enough times." from PopTartsSuckToasted where they were "band of the week."

"MiniBoone, a five-piece from New York caught our attention by seemingly encompassing the best traits of indie music from the past 30 years while leaving most of the annoying parts behind." from Music ZeitGeist - where you can find they were "indie artist of the month." Are you starting to see a trend here?

I could go on and on, but I would be wasting the time it takes for you to go buy this amazing new EP.

The Walk Ons have a new 5 track EP out today! It's called "We Did This On Purpose." It's a hook-laden edgy-yet-melodically compelling tour de force straight out of NYC. Take my word for it - these guys rock. What? You don't believe me? Well here's what Last FM had to say about them:

Brooklyn's anti-heroes, The Walk Ons, kick out supercharged, hook-riddled tunes that play on in your head long after your ears stop ringing. Infusing garage-rock and power-pop influences like The Clash, Cheap Trick and Weezer, The Walk Ons play timehonored Rock 'n' Roll, tight and loud with just the right amount of garbage.

And Taxi.com said this: "Rock, power pop, a little alt. Puts me in the mind of Elvis Costello meets the Knack meets Paul Westerberg/The Replacements."

You will find that your purchase of "We Did This On Purpose" is the cheapest when bought directly through us. $4 for 5 songs?!?! Are you kidding me? As they say in those amazing late night ExtenZe commercials, you have nothing to lose...but a whole lot to gain.
