Their EP is available as a free download, that the band gets royalties for. Go fetch. Bears In The Yukon is both a beautiful post-rock album and a creative bundle of full flora guitar work. It rarely goes low-tempo, but instead has tons of interesting shifts.. almost earning them a math genre tag. And play it with the bass up, trust me.

Ohohoh, and this: Native are releasing their debut ‘Wrestiling Moves’ on Sargent House. ‘Ponyboy’ is already streaming on their myspace. And enjoy this promo video, too.

19 years after they broke up, Mission of Burma reunited for a few shows. It didn’t go as planned though, and that’s good thing. 7 years, 2 albums and a complete new generation of fans later, Mission of Burma 2.0 is still steaming full ahead.

The follow-up of Mission of Burma’s great album ‘the Obliterati’ will be released on the sixth of October and it’s called ‘The Sound, The Speed, The Light’. We can expect something different this time. As they say on the Matador Blog: “…the record is a departure from the pinned-needles roar of 2006’s The Obliterati. The new album sounds far more spacious and dynamic. It is more or less divided into 4 sets or suites of 3 songs. Each suite explores a set of moods or colors, across the usual dizzying array of lyrical topics, from alcoholism to fleshly concerns.”

Who is Mission of Burma? Check out our video section for our feature about the band with a big interview and live footage filmed at the Villette Sonique show last year in Paris.

Pinnacle Magazine visited the Villette Sonique festival again where we filmed bands like Jesus Lizard, Monotonix, Deerhoof, Duchess Says, Black Lips, Lightning Bolt and much more.

This is a crude edit to give a preview. The final vids are in high def.

We’re working on features (with interviews and live footage) of Lightning Bolt, Nisennenmondai and Duchess Says.

And there are more goodies on the way!

Imperial China writes the following…

Our full-length album is done! Are you a label? Let’s talk.

Thanks to all of you for your continued support; we hope to have the record out this fall.

I’d sign them just to get my hands on the full-length… and dig this: Fago.Sepia is releasing a split in August on Japanese label Friend of Mine.

After a comeback tour in 2008, Polvo has fully reunited for a full-length, In Prism, which is coming on September 8th. New track is deeeeee-licious. Whereas I found them a bit dull and lacking in spirit and energy for their ATP show, I can only say the opposite for this track.

Oh, and no recent updates.. true dat. I’ll be back with loads of goodies as soon as vacation kicks in.
