Taylor Thrash Premieres New Album Step Forward + Exclusive Contest for a Personal Skype Performance + Chat

 

With the premiere of his new album, Step Forward, Taylor Thrash emphasizes his dreamy pop/rock with a multi-dimensional span of emotions. Taking dominant cues from sunny, piano-driven pop and acoustic rock, these 10 tunes see-saw between introspective love songs with heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics and heart-bursting jams about those moments when life can't get much better. It makes sense, considering the grounds this album was built upon.

"Step Forward is a collection of songs that I’ve written over the last two years describing the things I’ve gone through with love and without it," explains Thrash. "This record represents where I've been and where I am now." It's a vulnerable yet direct journey from the happy beginnings of "Losing My Mind" to the ukulele-infused, cleansing pop tune "Movin' On," and along the way you'll hit such highlights as "Broken," "Maybe Baby," and "Slippin.''"  The album drop tomorrow [8/21] via SpaceCamper Records [distributed by  Silverside/IODA] but you can spin its premiere right now. And if you have feedback, you can leave it in the comments — or with another source. "If you hate/love the album, you can email my mom at MyMom@TaylorThrash.com. She'll read em," offers Thrash.

And, if spinning these tunes make you wish for a personal serenade from the singer, you're in luck. We've teamed up to offer PV'ers an exclusive giveaway like no other. One grand prize winner will receive a personal acoustic concert and chat with Thrash himself via Skype, as well as a copy of Step Forward, a signed album poster, and a T-Shirt. Three runners up will receive a Step Forward T-Shirt. Here's how to enter!

-Follow PV and Taylor Thrash on Twitter
-Re-tweet this tweet adding #ThrashForward
-Contests ends next Monday [8/27] and winners will be notified via Twitter

Good luck, and for those wanting to lay claim on the album early, grab your pre-orders here.

My Education: "A Drink For All My Friends" Presale

The latest album from My Education, "A Drink For All My Friends", was recorded at the Bubble in Austin, Texas in 2011. Final overdubs, mixing and assemblage were completed at Headbump Studios and the Bubble in the months ending March 2012.

The record is in the mastering stages now and will be released on Golden Antenna Records in Europe and on Haute Magie Records in the USA on September 28th, 2012. It is the band's fervent desire to tour Europe for the first time in the spring of 2013.

They are seeking your help to raise funds to finance their European tour; namely, to help buy plane tickets! ME all feel that this is their strongest LP yet and that a promotional push for it in Europe is pretty much essential.

Golden Antenna are booking shows and arranging gear and van rentals for the band – now it's your turn to assist. The band has assembled an array of really nice promotional packages - all of which include a copy (or copies) of the new record- to whet your appetite.

Please pick your level of support and help My Education out!

Saint Motel
saintmotel.com/  

The indie-pop LA based quartet’s new album “Voyeur” is getting some airplay in Los Angeles by KCRW and is also being featured online in their Album Preview Series.

The music program says, (on the release of their debut full-length album) ...

"They have attacked it with gusto, adding dynamic touches to their rock-solid core of songwriting: percolating keyboard lines, grand piano gestures, wacky big-band samples, fiery horn sections, etc.  Songs like "Benny Goodman" and "Puzzle Pieces" chug along on the strength of their catchy riffs, but linger in the mind's ear and warrant repeat listens due to smart arrangements and the alchemy of fun-loving pop music at its most pleasurable."

Jim Ward at SSP

Jim Ward from Salad Days on Vimeo.

Silver Side Productions was honored to have Jim Ward play an acoustic set on the back deck of the offices this past August to showcase his first solo album, entitled “Quiet In The Valley, On The Shores the End Begins”.

The album, self released on Tembloroso Recordings out of El Paso, TX, features a track with Tegan Quin (of Tegan & Sara) called “Broken Songs”. After the set SSP had the opportunity to catch up with Jim and discuss his storied past with the post-hardcore band, At The Drive-In, and what the future has to hold.

Born in El Paso,Texas, Jim Ward co-founded At The Drive-In when he was 17 years old. At The Drive-In began their career playing small venues throughout the southwest, gaining attention and fans through word of mouth and heavy touring schedules. The band played with the likes of Rage Against The Machine and The Get Up Kids.

Breaking up during constant touring to support their highly influential 2008 album “Relationships of Command”, members Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez went on to start the band The Mars Volta while Jim began Sparta and Sleepercar.

Sparta have released three records and toured the world, and Sleepercar, an alt-country project, released an album entitled “West Texas” in 2008 and opened up for Coldplay on tour. In addition to his work as a recording artist, Jim is running his record label collective, Tembloroso, and giving back to the El Paso music scene by managing a music theater to bring in touring bands to the city.

Jets Overhead land at SSP offices for visit

Jets Overhead's new tunes are SO GOOD! Adam and Antonia from the band, in town (from Victoria, Canada) for a video shoot and meetings, stopped by SSP on Tuesday.

SSP welcomes The Autumn Film

Silver Side Productions is excited to now be working with Colorado-based band, The Autumn Film.  This female singer-fronted act has several beautiful releases under its belt and recently introduced its fantastic new record, “8 Track Tape,” on Feb. 7. 
 
The Autumn Film has a voice you’d swear you’ve heard before, although the band was voted “Best Band to Come out of Nowhere” by The Westword. Al-Attas’ voice is completely her own ... a huge voice, like an old friend, telling you secrets one minute, reassuring you the next. It’s spiritual, soothing, soft, but powerful enough to fill a room. It leaves goose bumps over and over again, each time the opening notes sound.

The record feels epic, and makes love sound as all-encompassing as it feels when you first find it. It’s at once intimate and larger than life, and utterly honest and confident.

Stay tuned for updates on the band: http://theautumnfilm.com/
