Provincial
Debut solo album from the Weakerthans main main. Provincial began with a simple idea: to explore four different roads in Manitoba. “They’re the places I kept going back to. ” Samson talked to relatives, friends and strangers; he visited archives, a tuberculosis sanatorium turned RV park, a forgotten cemetery. The result is this collection of evocative songs, an album that fits beside Bruce Springsteen s Nebraska, Sun Kil Moon s Ghosts Of The Great Highway, Mountain Goats Tallahassee. While the teenage craving of “Cruise Night” recalls the Cars, “Stop Error” invokes Bach; for “When I Write my Master s Thesis, ” Samson s inspiration was all jukebox serendipity Bob Dylan s “When I Paint My Masterpiece, ” sailing out from the corner of a Yukon dive bar. Provincial is a record full of fierce, tuneful, vivid stories.

Resolution
Resolution is the follow up to their Grammy nominated album Wrath. Produced by Josh Wilbur, the album features 14 songs and comes in a deluxe softpak with artwork by longtime art director Ken Adams. Resolution is a 100 percent trend-free and intelligently constructed album that could power a small country with its unstoppable energy and potent riffery. Guitarist Mark Morton says that “unlike any other album before, this album was written over the course of a couple of years, at least with the guitars. Willie and I starting songwriting as soon as we started touring Wrath.” As a result, Resolution boasts some of the most Punk Rock moments and some of the bluesiest moments of the band’s recorded career, perhaps fostered along by the liveliness of the writing-on-the-road process. The album was recorded in various studios in Virginia and New York. Limited 2CD version with live cd available now!!!

Primal Fear
Unbreakable
If you are discussing today’s top European Metal acts, then the conversation is undoubtedly going to include Germany’s Primal Fear. The band formed by former Gamma Ray vocalist Ralf Scheepers and bassist/vocalist Mat Sinner in late 1997 is certainly one of the premier metal bands performing today. “Unbreakable” combines the talent of the strongest Primal Fear line-up ever with a well-balanced “back to our roots” vibe. Singer Ralf Scheepers says: “The plan was to record an album for the fans with rough metal riffs, screaming vocals and good melodies…...and finally it became a monster - a tough ‘bang-your-head’ metal album called “Unbreakable”.

Alex Chilton
Free Again “The 1970 Sessions”
A collection of 1970 solo recordings from the former Box Tops/future Big Star leader. Alex Chilton was the lead singer of a million-selling band, The Box Tops, but felt like little more than a puppet of the group’s producers. In the era of free love, he’d been pressured into a shotgun marriage and fatherhood. And he’d ultimately come to see himself as the pawn of an unscrupulous business machine, sent to grind it out on the road in a series of silly lip-synched TV performances and one-night stands while someone else cashed his checks. As he entered the studio that summer to make his first solo recordings, the man who would come to define the very spirit of musical independence was still bound in chains. At a time where liberation and self-expression were rallying cries, Alex Chilton was about to break free.
