A Little
Statement/Update From Innerpartysystem Thursday 9th July 2009
First off: Innerpartysystem is no longer on Island
Records. There’s really nothing else to
be said there. There are some really amazing,
overworked, underpaid, stressed out people who
love music, working very hard there… and
there are a handful of people who just didn’t
really understand this band, and didn’t
know how to react when ‘Don’t Stop’
wasn’t ‘Just Dance.’ Our bad
there. There’s a particularly badass crew
at Island UK, who really fought and worked the
hell out of this brand new, no name band from
America, and we’re sincerely thankful that
we've had the team by our side to help build such
a strong foundation. At the end of the day, our
label teams made this past year possible, gave
us the freedom to make the album we wanted to
make, and provided the opportunity for us to build
our (albeit extremely modest) studio and stage
show. So thank you! This is a very exciting time
for us. We also realize that now, more than ever,
we need to directly connect with our fans. There’s
no amount of marketing money that is more valuable
than IPS being able to directly communicate with
you, and let you know exactly what’s going
on in our world. With that in mind, our tech guru/
soundman extraordinaire, Andy, has put together
innerpartysystem.net. Innerpartysystem.net is
a forum site specifically for IPS fans where we
can communicate with you directly, and most importantly,
use it as a place to give you free exclusive music,
videos, and whatever else the gods of the interweb
may dream up. To celebrate the launch, we’re
posting a free download of our ‘Official
Warped Tour/Summer Mixtape,’ featuring most
of our remixes from the past year, artists we
love, and a few new surprises. For the audiophiles,
we’ve also posted stems for you to remix
and DJ including: ‘Obsession,’ ‘Heart
Of Fire,’ ‘Last Night In Brooklyn,’
‘New Poetry,’ and ‘Don’t
Stop.’
Fans of IPS, we appreciate you. We need you. We
wouldn’t exist without you. We can’t
wait to share new music with you later this year,
and we hope to see tons of you all this summer
on Warped Tour. Until next time.
Twin
Atlantic
- are a four piece from Glasgow in Scotland the
band are made up of Sam McTrusty (Guitar, Lead Vocals),
Barry McKenna (Guitar, Cello, Backing Vocals), Ross
McNae (Bass, Piano,Backing Vocals) and Craig Kneale
(Drums), the band have been together since 2007
and in their short time together as a band so far
they have released their debut EP ‘A Guidance
From Colour’ and a couple of different singles.
Over the past
few months Twin Atlantic have been very busy working
on their debut album ‘Vivarium’ which
is due for release sometime in September, the
album is being produced by John Travis who has
worked with many massive artists in the past such
as Static-X, Kid Rock, Monster Magnet and now
Twin Atlantic.
The new Twin Atlantic single is called ‘Lightspeed’
and it is has just been released as a free download,
which is available from the bands official website
for a limited time only and I would advise everyone
to go an download the song now as it is fantastic
and it is what convinced us that Twin Atlantic
should be our band of the month for July as the
song oozes with style and attitude and is delivered
in such an upbeat and confident way, even the
video for the single is done in a really professional
way, and overall ‘Lightspeed’ shows
signs that Twin Atlantic are going to go far once
their debut album is released as they have totally
raised the game with ‘Lightspeed’.
To
coincide with Twin Atlantic being our band of the
month for July we have decided to host the video
for their fantastic new single 'Lightspeed' for
your streaming pleasure so you can get a true feel
of what the band are all about.
