THE SUBWAYS READY TO RELEASE “ALL OR NOTHING”
US SUMMER TOUR CONFIRMED

June 3, 2008 (Burbank.CA) – Hyperkinetic UK rock trio, THE SUBWAYS have completed their 2nd album for Sire Records entitled “ALL OR NOTHING” scheduled for domestic release on Sep. 9, 2008. The 12-song strong album was recorded in Los Angeles last fall by venerable producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth) and marks a dynamic sonic progression from their critically-embraced 2006 album debut, “YOUNG FOR ETERNITY.”
“The Subways debut…is packed with the kind of raw energy and brash attitude that comes with youth…hits you like an express train.” -- People
“The Subways come by their charming chemistry naturally: The trio has an irrepressible garage-rock energy, rare sweetness and unabashed confidence.” -- USA Today
“The Subways threaten the Arctic Monkeys’ position as the hottest band out of the U.K.” – Rolling Stone

The new album, “ALL OR NOTHING,” reveals the work of a confident, revitalised band with a singular focus and a new mission statement. “We’re coming out, we’re coming over, you’re standing on the platform and we’re bringing you with us!” This time around the riffs are heavier; the drums more manic than before but the melodic sensibilities remain intact and even more infectious this time around. The lyrical perspectives and vocal performances are also a cut above to reflect their personal and professional growth and the experience of a life less ordinary touring the Globe non-stop as they have for the past few years. Yet they are all still in their early 20s. Vocalist Billy Lunn has fully recovered from career-threatening vocal chord surgery and feeling stronger and more motivated than ever as the albums title suggests. The UK press have already responded in kind:

SINGER-SONGWRITER JASON REEVES SIGNS WITH
WARNER BROS. RECORDS

IOWA CITY NATIVE HITS THE ROAD IN JULY IN SUPPORT OF HIS DEBUT ALBUM THE MAGNIFICENT ADVENTURES OF HEARTACHE

June 26, 2008 — Burbank, CA — Warner Bros. Records is pleased to announce that it has signed up-and-coming singer-songwriter Jason Reeves to a recording deal and will pick up distribution of the 23-year-old Iowa City native’s digital debut album, The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache (and Other Frightening Tales). The label will make a physical CD of the album widely available at retail for the first time.

Reeves has already made a splash with Magnificent Adventures, which has sold briskly since Reeves released it himself by posting the tracks on his MySpace page in August 2007. Reeves’ hook-filled songs of love, hope, heartbreak, and renewal, matched with his engaging tenor voice, propelled him to become the No. 1 MySpace Folk artist (unsigned) for 9 months and made him a fixture in the Top 5 Acoustic (unsigned) and Top 20 Overall (unsigned) categories.

In addition, Reeves was named one of the Top Indie Singer-Songwriters of 2007 by iTunes, which also dubbed Magnificent Adventure one of its Top Folk Albums of 2007, giving it a five-star review after it debuted at No. 2 on the iTunes Folk chart.

Many fans will already be familiar with Reeves through his songwriting collaborations with breakthrough singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat, the first person Reeves met after he relocated to Los Angeles in March 2005, to pursue his songwriting career. Reeves co-wrote 10 tracks on Caillat’s platinum debut album Coco, including the smash hit singles “Bubbly” and “Realize,” the latter of which he also sings on, and its upcoming single “The Little Things.” Reeves has also had his songs featured on the television shows One Tree Hill and A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila.

Lead LIP WAYNE COYNE talks about making his own movie and why.
