15 years and 7 albums in the making, is certainly the most complex album from the band to date.The Human RomanceCombining driving thrash riffs with screamed gravel vocals the band retains the brutal heaviness it brought to Ozzfest in2004 and combines it with the melancholic melodies and amazing guitar solos of their Victory Records albums to createwhat many consider to be the bands masterpiece.

Beyond the collision of metal and hardcore that the band is known for, this album extends even further into the emotion ofwhat the band is looking for in creating music, using more subtle atmospheric sounds to add yet another dimension to thebands already well-hewn sound. The clean full-bodied production makes it easy to hear every ferocious power chord andfeel each hit of the double bassdrum. With most of contemporaries having fallen by the wayside andDarkest HourÊ¼stheir influences dead and buried, the band continues to outdo themselves with each release. They have evolved, grownand become more mature, but have never forgotten where they came from. is a powerful albumThe Human Romancethat drives the band forward and into the future and ORG Music is proud to be along for the ride.

ALBUM FACTS

Genre: Rap/Hip Hop

Rap duo Ben J and Legacy of the are back with their sophomore release Description: New Boyz Too Cool To Carewhich will hit stores May 10, 2011 via Shotty/Warner Bros. Records.

The album's first single " ," inspired by the international club scene, enlists the help of electro-pop producers TheBackseatCataracs and their starlet Dev for a dance-floor banger. Along with The Cataracs, DJ Khalil, Kane, Bei Maejor, and a hostof other talented up-and-coming producers lend their talents to the wide-ranged release. "This album is very different fromthe first one," confesses Ben J. "We really wanted to show ourselves as creative artists. A lot of people are going to besurprised."

Children of the iPod era, the - like their peers - represent a generation dedicated to pushing past draconianNew Boyzstandards while searching for something new. "Too Cool To Care is not just an album, it's a movement. It's about howwe've always gotten criticism from those who want to hate our fashion and style," says Legacy. "But we've continued andwill continue to do our thing and test our boundaries." To coincide with the album release, a high school tour and series of"Too Cool To Care" PSA's promoting the importance of individuality, originality and positive self-image are in the works.

ARTIST & INFO

Hometown: Los Angeles, CA

debuted in the summer of 2009 with their viral hit single "You're A Jerk." The single not only peaked in the topNew Boyz30 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but also brought the then regional jerkin' style to the national forefront, giving the duonational acclaim. This lead into the release of their debut studio album , "one of the year's mostSkinny Jeanz & A Miccharming rap debuts, and certainly the least expected" (New York Times).

Considered by many to be a new generation of one-hit wonders, the group would go on to prove the opposition wrong withthe release of their multi-platinum selling 2nd single, "Tie Me Down" featuring Ray J. The group may have initially beenknown as jerks, but the release of their pop-leaning 2nd single earned the duo their second Top 5 Rhythmic radio smashand would catapult the boys into a position of being a force to reckon with.

Since then they have toured alongside Chris Brown and Sean Kingston, caused nothing short of pandemonium in venuesand malls across the nation, landed a role in Mario Van Peebles' 2011 film "We The Party," and have received BETHip-Hop and Teen Choice Awards nominations for their respective "Best Group" categories.

Description:

On , the second in a proposed three-volume retrospective, the singer andThe Randy Newman Songbook Vol. 2songwriter offers another engrossing solo set, just piano and voice, that swings between the hilarious and theheartbreaking, sometimes brilliantly encompassing both. Longtime collaborators Mitchell Froom and Lenny Waronker, whowere also behind the boards for Newman’s acclaimed 2008 Nonesuch disc , co-produced. These 16Harps and Angelstunes, drawn from a catalogue that now spans four decades, are not normal indeed. “Cowboys” first appeared on hisstunningly mature 1968 debut, , while the grimly amusing “Laugh and Be Happy” and the bittersweetRandy Newman“Losing You” are taken from Harps and Angels.

Newman made his Nonesuch debut in 2003 with The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol. 1. “The CD series,” says Time OutNew York, “provides an experience a lot like watching Newman onstage. He is a living songbook, a flood of emotionschanneled through his work. And in a few choice bits, his various components—comedian, historian, balladeer, limousine

The Village Voice calls his songs liberal—gel into one perfect whole.” “relevant and mordantly funny and wrenching… Fewsongwriters are capable of drifting between cynicism and sentiment with such grace.”

Opening track “Dixie Flyer” remains one of his most personal, a look back at the boyhood time he spent in New Orleans,while “My Life Is Good” is among his most outrageous, in which a proudly obnoxious master of the universe is brought upshort by a scolding school teacher. “Lucinda” seems like a wistful seaside reverie until you realize it’s about a woman whogets run over by a beach buggy; closing track “Cowboy” is the melancholy flipside to the celebrated odes Newman haswritten to Toy Story’s hero Woody.

Newman—utilizing only a piano, his biting wit and his incomparable songbook—has already embarked on a U.S. tour, andwill play a series of Australian dates in July.

ARTIST & INFO

Newman, a prolific film composer as well as an award-winning pop songwriter, is virtually without peer; he's now atwo-time Oscar recipient as well as a five-time Grammy and three-time Emmy-winner. (And he easily outshone the youthfulAcademy Award hosts with his sardonically funny acceptance speech.) As the Washington Post has noted, his songs"revolutionized pop songwriting by replacing the sincere confessional with monologues sung from the view of someoneother than the singer-songwriter." Time Out New York suggests that only Stephen Sondheim and Bob Dylan come close.

ARTIST & INFO

Few artists have created a body of work as rich and varied as Prince. During the '80s, he emerged as one of the mostsingular talents of the rock & roll era, capable of seamlessly tying together pop, funk, folk, and rock. Not only did herelease a series of groundbreaking albums; he toured frequently, produced albums and wrote songs for many other artists,and recorded hundreds of songs that still lie unreleased in his vaults. With each album he released, Prince has shownremarkable stylistic growth and musical diversity, constantly experimenting with different sounds, textures, and genres.Occasionally, his music can be maddeningly inconsistent because of this eclecticism, but his experiments frequentlysucceed; no other contemporary artist can blend so many diverse styles into a cohesive whole.

Description:

Sleep with One Eye Open is an impassioned collaboration/conversation between mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile andguitarist Michael Daves in which the subject is bluegrass, specifically how this upstart duo can acknowledge history andtradition while exuberantly defying convention. Though it was recorded in four feverish days of sessions at Jack White'sThird Man studio in Nashville, the album has deep roots in a serendipitous side of New York City that reveals itself atcertain times of the night, when strangers become kindred spirits as clubs empty out, and only the hardiest souls stickaround to keep the music playing. It's a story that begins, like so many, with a guy walking into a bar.

On Sleep with One Eye Open, Thile and Daves acknowledge history and tradition while they exuberantly defyconvention; they balance the tender with the devil-may-care, emphasizing, as Thile puts it, "the slightly delinquent side of

Recording live to two-inch analog tape and singing into one vintage microphone, the duo cut 16 tracks at Thirdbluegrass."Man, claiming the honor of being the first artists White has allowed to record there on their own. (He also let them borrowhis house engineer, Vance Powell.)

Songs like "Loneliness and Desperation" and the title track emphasize rollicking, rapid-fire arrangements that often serve,in tried-and-true bluegrass fashion, to mask the most sorrowful of feelings. Daves's and Thile's voices blend as seamlesslyand, on tracks like "Bury Me Beneath the Willow," as plaintively-as their instruments. As Thile explains, "Mandolin andguitar and two male voices-it's such a good sound. It was important for us was to get that brother duet thing, but with thisLower East Side punk energy."

Though the sessions themselves have an appealing air of spontaneity, Sleep with One Eye Open was a project literallyyears in the making. As Thile explains, "All the work for this record had already been done at the jam sessions and at theshows we put on at the Rockwood Music Hall; we just had to take a snapshot of it. I think we found a way to maintain our

Fanswide-eyed wonder about this stuff and deliver it with the sincerity of people who need to play this music to feel good."will no longer have to scour Facebook or Myspace hoping for news of an impromptu, semi-secret gig from this pair: Thileand Daves are finally taking their show on the road this spring, starting in May with a three-night stand at Rockwood.

Chris Thile and Michael Daves Band Members:

Punch Brothers founder and former Nickel Creek mandolinist Chris Thile first ran into bluegrass guitarist and singerMichael Daves back in 2005 at a late night bluegrass jam in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. That serendipitous chance

encounter has led to an ongoing musical dialogue between these two maverick players, one that has evolved over thecourse of several years, countless jam sessions and many word-of-mouth gigs in the crowded confines of the RockwoodMusic Hall, squeezed into Thile's touring breaks.

Description:

Jamm is the first new album in five years from one of Africa's great musical mavericks, Senegalese sufi troubadour CheikhLô. This is his most distinctive and personal album since his groundbreaking, Youssou N'Dour-produced debut Ne la

in 1996. The dreadlocked singer's signature blend of semi-acoustic flavours - West and Central African, funk,ThiassCuban, flamenco - has been distilled into his most mature, focused, yet diverse statement to date. And his husky, sensualvoice is sounding better than ever.

"It's a melting pot!" says Lo of the album. "It's like a big basket, with some cheese here, some bread there, some chocolateand a cocktail on the side. There's something for everyone."

ARTIST & INFO

Hometown: Senegal

Born in 1955 in Burkina Faso to Senegalese parents, Lô began his musical career as a vocalist and percussionist, playingAfro-Cuban music in local bands before moving to Senegal in 1981, where he learnt to play drums and guitar. A sojourn inParis as a session drummer with Congolese bands was followed by a return to Dakar where he gigged and released anumber of solo cassettes. He was eventually discovered by Youssou N'Dour who produced his breakthrough 'Ne LaThiass' album, which saw his unique acoustic take on Senegal's dominant, hard-driving mbalax sound gain a large anddedicated local following. The album saw similar success on its international release by World Circuit, earning him theaccolade of Best Newcomer at the All-Africa Kora Awards.

Lô has continued to plough an individual furrow, honing his personal musical style, playing regularly in clubs in Senegal'scapital Dakar, releasing a further two acclaimed albums on World Circuit and gaining powerful responses to live shows inEurope and the U.S.A.

Originally released in 1989, the band's second major label record, young fans were expecting a record ofDescription:radio hits and radio was expecting more punk rock antics... They were both right somehow and sadly this record, like manygreat and creatively expansive albums was over looked upon it's initial release by the dedicated fan and the new comer.Your screaming, yelling and falling to pieces drunken brothers now added sleepy melancholy, violins, waves of layeredguitar, something that sounded like a "real" recording and a bit if not a lot of personal vulnerability to the mix. The list ofalbums that were once dismissed thoroughly only to be coveted later is as long as the history of contemporary music itself-and includes albums from every group imaginable fom Pink Floyd to The Stooges to The Beach Boys to Fela Kuti, TheReplacements certainly fits into that history comfortably. Twenty years later most fans and critics agreeDon't Tell A Soulthat songs such as "Achin' to Be," the haunted "Rock 'n' Roll Ghost," the sweetly self-mythologizing "Talent Show," and "I'llBe You," are probably among the best songs performed in the 1990's.

In an era of plastic, manufactured music, it is always refreshing when someone goes against the grain and does what theywant to do. Hank Williams III is the best example of this in music today. For over twelve years now Shelton Hank WilliamsIII has been fighting the music industry to be his own man. Cast by certain people in the shadow of his legendarygrandfather, Williams has fought long and hard to create his own sound and style, and to preserve the true outlaw spirit ofreal country music. His ever-evolving three hour live shows pay respects to both his country roots, and the punk and metalinfluences that he has held true to since his teens.

Much like his grandfather and his father before Him, Hank III is his own man. He doesn't care what expectations peoplehave in him, and he will do it the way that he does it so long as he is alive.
