Deadbeat Darling: myspace; Equal parts mischief and bliss, eloquence and irreverence, Deadbeat Darling is a New York City-based rock band whose music shimmers with hints of dub and electronica, and has thus far inspired a rabid and eclectic fanbase solely upon word of mouth. They released their debut full length album "Weight of Wandering"during the Summer of 2009, followed by a sold out show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City and a run of album release shows throughout Texas and the Midwest...

"Deadbeat Darling's "Weight of Wandering” mesmerizes listeners with gentle reggae waves, sprinkles of exotic modulation, a dab of Dub, and tinges of electronica... Fusing an enchanting instrumentation with (Joseph) King’s soaring, soothing, and shining vocals that attend to every nuance and touch every emotion, the Brooklyn quartet creates a “zen-rock” experience on their ten-track album.... “Weight of Wandering” is heavy with poeticism that is matched by substantial musicality." – Meijin Bruttomesso, Deli NYC

"Deadbeat Darling's music pulsates and breathes. It's electronic rock that brings to mind bands like the Killers and the Strokes." – Hector Saldana, SA Express

"The move to NYC has been good for the cosmically talented Joseph King. With Deadbeat Darling, he's been able to stretch out and fully embrace his muse with these songs about the slippery slopes of relationships, drugs, and bliss." – Loris Lowe, KGSR Austin

Black Taxi: official website; myspace; The sons of sheep farmers, Mennonites, rail workers and Olympians, BLACK TAXI channel their diverse histories into a barn-yard stomp that is part rock, part carnival. Tribal beats and brash melodies collide in their songs, which are thick with harmonies. BLACK TAXI carries traces of The Clash, Cake, and Daft Punk, but these Brooklynites are driven by their search for newness. They play with a fever of movement and a visceral hunger; a hot noise doused in war paint that is all soul, swagger, and sweat.

The Picture: myspace; Not long ago, jumping off an iceberg on fire, a theorist slowly drifted out to sea in search of others who would embrace the chance to change the stars and emerge from a series of systematic network attacks. Soon he hit the continent and was joined by an Englishman and knowledge expert, ghosts and getaways, a chuckler and a bass player, a shepherd herding his flock with mallets and a forgotten hunter… all coincidentally perfect companions to bounce any intangible object they could find off of… and a group was formed.

Now this was no ordinary sequence of events, no path of least resistance. Something changed when the five came together and now it could be said that this group was in fact a band. A band of questions, of pieces and fragments of memories. This band fit together, like Bluebirds and Artichokes.

The Picture is Robert Abel, Greg Abel, Chris Buckle, Jake Siegler and Jared Vergilis. They are releasing, BLUEBIRDS, the first of two EPs on Jan 24th,.
