HEARTSREVOLUTION ANNOUNCE RIDE OR DIE EP VIA OWSLA JULY 23rd LISTEN TO “KILL YOUR RADIO” ON: [Premiere link] New York based synth pop band, HEARTSREVOLUTION, are set to release their upcoming, RIDE OR DIE coming via OWSLA on July 23rd. Described by NME as "the model for the modern pop group," the band consists of Leyla 'Lo' Safai and Ben Pollock who are putting out five tracks that transmit social commentary thru synth pop. This edgy dance record will take your ears by storm with political lyrics from the voice of a girl revolutionary. Key track; Heart Vs.The Machine instinctively states; “To whom it may concern this is the story of how HeartsRevolution took the approach of youth and revolt against a corrupt system.” Only one will prevail. The band has been keeping busy since their last release taking to the streets with their eccentric public art hanging 2,012 stuffed animals in LA, NY and Tokyo. This EP will set up the release to their debut album coming in the fall of this year, 2013. The pair met in Los Angeles bonding over writing energetic tunes for a little ice cream truck to play called Hearts Challenger. They most recently partnered with Swarvoski Crystals to cover their truck in 500,000 crystals. Finishing touches are being completed and the truck will be touring with the band promoting cuteness and their Ride OR DIE Release!

In anticipation of the band's first stateside release and 2013 full length debut slated for March, the band will be playing their first US shows next week in Los Angeles and New York. Brothers Harrison and Sam Koisser, Douglas Castle and Dominic Boyce were plucked from relative obscurity in Birmingham, the same city that gave the world Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath and Duran Duran, and have quickly become one of the biggest acts to watch out for in 2013. PEACE have already garnered early praise from The Guardian, who called them "the future of indie", NME, who added three of their tracks to the Top 50 Songs of 2012 and the BBC, who added them to the prestigious BBC Sound Poll 2013. "For us, these are not just our first US shows," says singer Harrison Koisser. "This is a chance for us to find everything we've been looking for; the answers, true love, ourselves, each other "The band's first US date will be December 17th in Los Angeles at Bardot, and will then head to the east coast for two New York shows on December 19th at Pianos and Glasslands. Hear all the songs from their EP and more and catch them early as they prepare to bring PEACE to the world in 2013! Bio, photos, interview and more available upon request.

After dates with the likes of indie heavy-hitters Garbage, Bloc Party, and Joy Formidable and having shared the stage with the likes of No Doubt and Nine Inch Nails, IO ECHO continue to garner attention from industry peers, press and audiences alike with their live shows of self-described “pastel doom,” dimmed strobe lights and sensu fans. Front woman Ioanna Gika draws from her time spent living in Asia by melding Eastern orchestration, including Koto and Chinese Violin, into the band’s singular style. Enamored by their dynamic debut album and charismatic live presence, the fashion world has embraced the duo with open arms. Ioanna was recently selected as the face of Henry Holland’s eyewear line, as well as gifted a custom designed kimono from Jeremy Scott.

ETNIK ANNOUNCES NEON DAZE EP, OUT ON OWSLA "NEON DAZE" OUT NOW Known as the Wunderkind (or virtuoso) of the new German techno scene; OWSLA is excited to announce Etnik's and his Neon Daze EP, soon to be released. Etnik’s music elegantly buzzes and bleeps, creating a unique style of what one could call elegant techno. He aims to be simple and inventive and does just that with tracks like “Neon Daze” and “Vault,” songs which offer pleasant and unassuming beats that will suddenly plunge and pulse into heart thumping drops. “Boaws” vocals gleam with minimal atmospheric affects in the background generating a once again elegant and ear catching song. Each track on the Neon Daze EP highlights the clean and perfectionist like aspects of Etnik's production style and displays why he's known as the virtuoso of the new German techno scene. Etnik has received acclaim from Zombie Nation, TWR72 as a producer and DJ but likes to classify himself more as an entertainer with a concept. With his contributed concept he’s released tracks with SNTST from Boyz Noize Records. Using a piece of a visualized version of a sawtooth-wave, Etnik’s clever logo uses a backwards N to represent the waves he uses in his music. Taking his clever intellect back to his studies, Etnik is set to take his A-Level exams next year. That will be somewhat celebrated with a tour that is planned in Australia and the USA supporting Neon Daze, EP link below.
