	EXILE PARADE - “BROTHEL BALLET” G21805 * BURBCD 064 * CD * Label: Suburban Records - release 16-11-2009 Exile Parade is a young band from Warrington, an industry city right in the middle between Liverpool and Manchester (known from the tv series ‘Shameless’). The band drew the attention of master producer Owen Morris (Oasis, The Verve, The View etc.) who offered them to go into the studio with him. Spring 2008 the debutsingle ‘Fire Walk With Me’ (vinyl only!) was released, produced by Owen Morris which immediately became Single of the Week at Dutch national radiostation VPRO. Soon after this the band played the London Calling Festival in Paradiso / Amsterdam and a liveshow for dutch national radio. After a long delay the 6-track CD incl. Fire Walk With Me (first time on CD!) plus 5 more tracks will be released. The release will be supported by a tour through The Netherlands in November: 19 Nov AMSTERDAM - Melkweg - Sugar Factory w/ Madensuyu, 20 Nov PURMEREND - P3 w/ Elle Bandita, 21 Nov HAARLEM - Patronaat w/ The Disciplines We are extremely enthusiastic about this band and to prove we are not the only ones, please find some quotes below: They got the swagger of Oasis, they reminded me of a totally punked-up Rolling Stones. Move over Kasabian! (Jim Gellatly – BBC Radio) Mix The Music’s indie-dance tunes, Oasis’s brazen attitude, Jet’s urgency and Kelly Jones’ gloriously dragged out vocal and you’d have the sonic bomb that is Exile Parade…best catch them now, whilst they’re playing the more intimate venues, for if this singles’s anything to go by, Exile Parade are destined to detonate into the big time. (Au Magazine about the ‘Heart Into Suicide’ single) They sound like Kasabian on speed. The singer has Liam Gallagher and Robert Plant sized aspirations sizzling through his blood, they could be a new main stage pleaser in waiting. (Disorder Magazine about the ‘Heart Into Suicide’ single) "Best Rock and Roll I've had the honour and pleasure of being involved with since Oasis ' first album. Fucking stunning, evil music." (Owen Morris - Producer - Oasis, The Verve, The View) "They sound like Oasis but with bigger testicles" (Jed the Fish - KROQ Los Angeles) Full Benelux promotion service by Suburban!

	USE OF ASHES – “WHITE NIGHTS: THE HAND OF TZAFKIEL” G21226 * TFCD 36 * CD * Label: Tonefloat – Release: 06-11-2009 “WHITE NIGHTS: GLOWING LIGHTS” G21186 * TFLP 72 * LP * Label: Tonefloat – Release: 06-11-2009 G21199 * TFCD 72 * CD * Label: Tonefloat – Release: 06-11-2009 “White Nights: The Hand of Tzafkiel” is now available on CD. Previously released by Tonefloat as 180 grams black vinyl edition in heavy picture sleeve with innerbag. The album was the 4th studio album by Use Of Ashes in over 20 years. It was the first album to feature Simon van Vliet and saw a Use Of Ashes which were exploring the darker territories of music. This CD version will be in a deluxe mini album cardboard sleeve. “White Nights: Glowing Lights” is a direct continuation of its predecessor's approach, but places even greater importance on the band's talents as intuitive songsmiths. As a result, the focus of these occasionally no more than two minute long tracks is firmly on acoustic guitars and Peter van Vliet's voice, with organs, sitars, tablas as well as an array of vintage analogue synthesizers providing a colourful backdrop. The album will be out in two versions: a 180 grams black vinyl edition, and a CD edition in deluxe mini album cardboard sleeve.
