Dynamite Portland, OR band Starf*cker, went back to the studio to add some fresh touches to their 2009 mini-LP, Jupiter.  By the end of the sessions the band added on three tunes.

These additional tracks are ones that singer-founder Josh Hodges originally had placed in Jupiter’s song sequence a few years back.  The new tunes are Cemetery, Queen Latifah and Jamie.

This updated version of Jupiter now has 11 songs and new artwork.  It will soon be available on 180 gram vinyl and by download.  Jupiter (2012) is available through digital sites now and full album download features printable artwork via iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/s-r-jupiter/id472820051

Sweden's The Bell, have returned with an excellent new mini-album entitled Your Fair Share of The Bell.  The seven song mini-album sounds like a solid accompaniment to their previous standout Great Heat.  The album is available via digital download only and is a featured title on iTunes New and Noteworthy.

{The song} “Holiday” may be hyperactive in their gyration and poise, “23 Seconds” is more scenester parklife contemplation that moves as slow as a Sunday afternoon. Their ethereal pop is as dreamy as it comes." - Zaptownmag.com

“Dead Reckoning” begs for foot stomping while Sollee bemoans our miserable world; if we’re all going to hell, we might as well enjoy the ride down." - The Washington Post

"Lovers’ last disc, I Am the West, was one of the best albums to come out of Portland in 2009—even if its release went under the radar for a lot of people. It marked a change in Lovers frontwoman/founder Carolyn Berk’s songwriting philosophy that took the band from being a singer-songwriter’s outlet to a full-on synth-driven pop group (with Kerby Ferris and Emily Kingan joining up along the way), and it did so masterfully.

Lovers’ next album (Dark Light) shouldn’t catch anyone by surprise, because we’re not going to let it. We’ll be premiering a few songs from the band’s forthcoming disc, due out on October 12 on Portland’s own Badman Recording Co." -Casey Jarman -WWeek.com
