• Host of the phenomenally popular hit podcast “The Smartest Man in the World.” • Best known as a regular cast member of top comedy series “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” • Currently appears on Showtime’s “The Green Room with Paul Provenza.” • Has appeared on “Red Eye,” “The Late, Late Show,” and “Chelsea Lately” on E! • Other TV appearances include voicing Bob on “Bob the Builder: Project Build It,” HBO sitcom “Flight of the Conchords,” and a recurring role on Nickelodeon’s “True Jackson, VP.”
Greg Proops detests elsewhere. “Not this album,” he explains, “the place. Well, not everywhere. Just the uncool place that you are from.” So gather ‘round, children, for Papa Proops has come to tell stories from that rarified district in which he dwells: Hollywood, California. Sayeth Greg: “Hollywood isn’t a city, it’s an idea held simultaneously by a million assholes. I am but one.” And yet this one can teach us. He can lead us out of the dull and ordinary places we reside, places like the Midwest, and Delaware. He can instruct us, and improve us. He can delineate the two situations in which it’s acceptable for a man to wear white pants (“One: if you’re a sailor; two: never.”). He can solve an entire musical genre in two sentences. He can illuminate the hidden life lessons in the most worthless celebrity’s existence. With the release of this comedy recording, you quite simply don’t have to live like the rube from Buttermilk, Indiana that you are any longer. You can do better, and Greg Proops can show you the way.
“In a world full of windbags, comedian Greg Proops is a deep puff of fresh air.”
“Once known mostly for being the guy with the glasses on the UK and U.S. version of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?,” Greg Proops has a found a new crowd with his podcast.”

• Best known for playing Principal Terrence Cutler in the HBO comedy series “Eastbound & Down,” as well as for his work on “MADtv,” “The Life and Times of Tim,” “Delocated,” and “Comedy Bang Bang.”
This two-disc debut album compiles all of the characters that Andrew Daly performed during his ten-week Comedy Death Ray residency at the UCB Theatre in Los Angeles in Spring 2008. While the outside world may know Daly best from “MADtv,” “The Showbiz Show with David Spade,” and his scene-stealing portrayal of sportscaster Dick Pepperfield in the Will Ferrell film Semi-Pro, Los Angeles comedy fans know him as a standout member of the UCB’s acclaimed “Asssscat” troupe and from the countless character monologues he’s performed at shows all across town. On Nine Sweaters, Daly shows not only his remarkable range but also his penchant for the demented and absurd as he sketches such unforgettable characters as aspiring actor Hap Arden, sing-along specialist Skip McCabe, octogenarian standup novice Ben Alterman, and philandering futurist The Incredible Blasco. In addition to the nine principal characters on the album, each disc contains a bonus “sweater” for a total of eleven tracks. DISC ONE: A Wee Bit o’ Blarney • Sing-along with Skip McCabe and The Skip-Around Gang • Shooter’s Bon Voyage Set • Life of the Party, Inc. • Bonus: Jerry O’Hearn Tells It Like It Is • DISC TWO: A Star Is Born • The Glim Dropper • Ben Alterman’s Lifelong Dream • Our Amazing Future • The Greatest Actor in All of France • Bonus: Invisible Comic

Even with label support, they have continued to self-record, developed a surrealist video projection to accompany their live performance, and booked a 20-date tour through Canada and the U.S. The entirety of their eponymous debut full-length is fresh yet familiar, with songs delivered in a voice that is truly greater than the sum of its parts. The Royal Oui may be the result of Adrienne and Ari’s determination and raw talent, but as of February 11th it’s everyone’s to share.

Aesthetic Perfection’s Daniel Graves is not one to allow himself, or his music, to stagnate. Every release has shown an artistic growth and a fearless approach to songwriting. The result is something all too rare in music, where an artist has developed a unique, recognizable sound without falling into the trappings of clichéd formulaic songwriting. On the new album, ‘Til Death, we find an act exploring the artistic freedom that comes with no longer being willing to answer to anyone but himself. Whether it be the IAMX-tinged swagger of “Showtime,” the eerie almost Depeche Mode vocal patterns of “Lovesick,” or the hook-laden dark pop of “Oh, Gloria!,” ‘Til Death shows Graves at his diverse best.

Seabound, the moniker under which the duo of Frank Spinath (vocals) and Martin Vorbrodt (electronics) collaborate, is one of the most highly regarded acts in the dark electronic scene. A unique ability to combine cutting-edge, modern music and emotional vocals & lyrics to create an atmospheric, compelling work separates Seabound from its contemporaries. Speak In Storms is possibly Seabound’s strongest effort to date. It is cohesive, with the ominous tension started early in tracks like “For Life” and “Contraband.” The tension keeps building through to the danceable “Everything,” which seems to be a deep exhalation of breath; a release. But the relief is short-lived, as “Lair” builds once again from the darker atmospherics, taking the listener into Seabound’s moody world. Speak in Storms is a compelling piece of work: the sound of broken dreams, of loss and anger, and, of course, love.

A couple of years ago, a visually-arresting British duo self-released a debut album only to have DWA swoop in, sign the band, and reissue the album a few months later in an expanded edition, complete with new tracks and major-name remixers. That duo was Surgyn, the album was the now-bestselling Vanity, and the rest, as they say, is history... Now, in what could be seen as history eerily repeating itself, we present the debut full-length from another young gender-bending British duo who we tip to emulate Surgyn’s irresistible rise to fame: London’s dirty electro-punk duo Pretty Addicted!

A seamless, cinematic tapestry of beauty, filled to the brim with cacophonous melodies, meditative auditory chants, and hypnotic shambolic rhythms, which could be probably be classified as “ambient-drone-psychedelic-freak-folk.” Ensemble Economique is Brian Pyle of Starving Weirdos and RV Paintings. His solo project (hence the slightly ironic moniker) has released various albums, splits, and EPs on labels such as Digitalis, Amish, Not Not Fun, Dekorder, and Clan Destine before joining forces with Denovali Records.

U.S. Rock is the second release from the mighty Poobah (originally released in 1976), and also the second to be reissued by Ripple Music. The album features ten tracks in the original running order, remastered by T. Dallas Reed at HeavyHead Studios. This is the first time that this album has seen the light of day in almost 40 years, and the CD edition features four bonus tracks, including a blistering live rendition of “Steamroller.” “A blowout of English-power-trio and Rust Belt blues, with guitarist Jim Gustafson riffing in a thick-fuzz lather that will remind you, fondly, of Grand Funk Railroad’s Max Farner and the British ace Tony McPhee of the Groundhogs.” — DAVID FRICKE, ROLLING STONE

Dyodyo Asema, a 19-minute bastard, was composed by Alkerdeel and Gnaw Their Tongues with the intention of celebrating the fifth anniversary of the ConSouling Sounds label. It’s not a split release, but rather a collaboration, where both parties worked on one gloomy-droneblack-sludge-monolith of a song. “If you like black metal, drone, sludge, or noise, you should check out this EP. Recommended!” — OCCULT BLACK METAL ZINE Track Listing: Dyodyo Asema Key Markets: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Tampa, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Antonio, Boston, Denver, Houston, Seattle, Portland, Cleveland, Columbus, Indianopolis, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Austin
