JOSH TURNER/Punching Bag: Available June 12th, 2012!





2012 album from the double-platinum-selling singer, songwriter and disciple of traditional Country music. Punching Bag is a knockout collection of bluegrass-influenced barnburners, lonesome laments, and the slow and steady love ballads on which Josh's trademark baritone excels. The follow-up to 2010's Haywire, which yielded the #1 hits Why Don t We Just Dance and All Over Me, Punching Bag represents Josh in fighting shape. Throughout all 11 songs, he bobs and weaves like a champ, exhibiting new range in both his voice and his songwriting. Josh penned eight of the record's 11 tracks, including the rollicking title song that, he says, set the tone for the entire project.


EDENS EDGE/Edens Edge: Available June 12th, 2012!





2012 debut from the Country trio. Comprised of Hannah Blaylock (lead vocalist), Dean Bemer (harmony vocals, guitar, dobro) and Cherrill Green (harmony vocals, mandolin, banjo and guitar), Edens Edge possess a unique musical blend deeply rooted in Country music, acoustic instrumentation and pure vocal harmonies. Award-winning producers Mark Bright and Dann Huff have each produced tracks for the project.



FAR EAST MOVEMENT/Dirty Bass: Available June 12th, 2012!






Far East Movement create music that bridges the gap between underground party records and mainstream pop music. Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif, and DJ Virman take elements of hip-hop, electro, alternative, and dance to create an original pop sound and lifestyle they refer to as `Dirty Bass'. The group found mainstream success after building a following in the Downtown Los Angeles club scene. When their song, "Girls On The Dance Floor," co-written by Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter Bruno Mars, hit #1 in Los Angeles and topped radio charts across the country, the success led to a record deal with CherryTree/Interscope Records and release of their debut album, Free Wired, in October 2010.

REBECCA FERGUSON/Heaven: Available May 29th, 2012!





Debut from the X Factor finalist with the smoky Neo-Soul voice. Rebecca Ferguson began working on her major-label debut in early 2011, mere weeks after becoming the show’s 2010 runner-up. Heaven sketches out a soulful sound similar to Duffy and Corrine Bailey Ray. Ferguson puts her own stamp on the music by co-writing every track, including the lead single 'Nothing’s Real But Love.' Most X Factor finalists load their debut albums with cover songs and schmaltzy ballads; Ferguson, an established songwriter as well as a singer, proves there are other avenues worth exploring.

CHERRI BOMB/This Is The End Of Control: Available May 15th, 2012!





2012 album from the all girl teen Alt-Rock band. Having already played major summer festivals across Europe and Australia, and garnered the glowing endorsements of Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins (with whom they toured) and ex-Hole drummer Samantha Maloney, Cherri Bomb are poised to win the hearts and clenched teeth of fans of all ages who cherish melodic hard rock with plenty of kick. Based on just their 2011 five-song EP Stark, which included the ripping album track "Let it Go," and their roof-rattling live show, Revolver called Cherri Bomb "rollicking Runaway rock and roll - like the Pretty Reckless' Taylor Momsen hijacking the Foo Fighters," and the British rock weekly Kerrang! ranked them one of the "10 New Bands You Need To See," adding that Cherri Bomb "prove very loudly that you're never too young to pick up a guitar and thrash out!" This is the End of Control was produced by Red Decibel and Bobby Huff and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge ("Let It Go" mixed by Neal Avron).
