<b><u>ALBERTA CROSS* <i>Songs of Patience</i> (ATO Records)</u></b><br>
<img width="184" height="184" align="left" hspace="12" alt="Alberta Cross - Songs of Patience high res cover 300x300.jpeg" v:shapes="Picture_x0020_8" id="eb1e91f3-b25c-4547-a55e-51d1d09fc0bd" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:image006.jpg@01CD642B.BAEEB5B0">Today,
the much loved and critically-lauded Brooklyn-based duo <b>Alberta Cross</b> will be releasing their highly anticipated album, <b><i>Songs of Patience</i></b><i>,<b> </b></i>on <b>ATO Records</b>. After touring relentlessly with <b>Them Crooked Vultures,
Oasis, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club</b>, and delivering breakout performances at <b>Bonnaroo</b> and <b>Sasquatch, </b>the band started on a three-year journey to create <b><i>Songs of Patience. </i></b>Aiming to rediscover their Americana and roots sound,
the band headed to an abandoned house near Woodstock, NY to record some initial tracks. The Woodstock session left them feeling inspired and it was at that moment they decided to move away from The Big Apple and head west to Los Angeles in hopes to find a
different perspective for <i>Songs of Patience</i>. However, the west coast recording sessions only left the core members, <b>Petter Ericson Stakee </b>(vocals/guitar) and <b>Terry Wolfers</b> (bass), admitting the record needed more revisions. After taking
some time to reflect on the direction of the album, the guys ended up moving back to Brooklyn, NY. Recording in New York City allowed them to expand on their creativity, pen additional tracks and re-mix/re-track a few<b> </b>songs from the Woodstock and L.A.
sessions. The title, <i>Songs of Patience</i>, is, in many ways literal, but the great deal of time spent on the record led to one of the finest, most visceral rock albums of 2012. In support of <i>Songs of Patience</i>, Alberta Cross is currently on their
U.S. headlining tour with label mates Everest. See remaining tour dates listed below. <br>

<i><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125); ">“</span>Alberta Cross channels their rock roots on their new album… and it reflects the evolution of their folk-rock sound. From "Magnolia," an acoustic, Band of Horses-esque feel-good track that opens the album,
to the gritty rumble that frames "Crate of Gold" and the wistful ballad "Bonfire," </i><em><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-style: normal; ">Songs of Patience </span></em><i>is a trip though singer-songwriter-guitarist Petter Ericson Stakee's
psyche, each note divulging more of his unique perception of the world around him.” – <b><a href="http://RollingStone.com/" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">RollingStone.com</a><br>
<span style="color: black; "><br>
</span></b><span style="color: black; ">“On the basis of advance single "Lay Down," the new record will be no less massive than its predecessor. Where the Brooklyn-based, London-transplanted duo's breakout album carried echoes of Kings of Leon and My Morning
Jacket, this stadium-size midtempo rocker also has the shamanic swagger of early Verve or former Alberta Cross tourmates Oasis.” – <b><a href="http://Spin.com/" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">Spin.com</a></b></span></i><u><span style="color: black; "><o:p></o:p></span></u></div>

story of best friends. Made up of five of music’s most exciting trailblazers, the members of <b>JJAMZ</b> are releasing their debut album, <b><i>Suicide Pact </i>TODAY via Dangerbird</b>. <b><i>Suicide Pact</i></b> was self-produced by the band with the added
talents of <b>Jason Lader </b>(Maroon 5, Rilo Kiley, Julian Casablancas). Only friends as close as <b>JJAMZ</b> could provide such a rewarding synthesis of disparate musical tastes, coupled with perilously revealing lyrics; it's as if <i>Rumours</i> were recorded
by My Bloody Valentine, Fiona Apple sang “Heart of Glass”, or Andrew W.K. wrote <i>Saturday Night Fever</i>. From the Madonna-esque lead single <b>“Heartbeat”</b> to the churning, he-said, she-said <b>“LAX”</b> and the wistfully dark album title track <b>“Suicide
Pact”</b> to the crooning, smooth vocal pairings between <b>Berg</b> and <b>Runion</b> on <b>“Cleverly Disguised”</b>, each and every song stands on its own as a heart-wrenching narrative and a master course in lyrical prowess. <b>JJAMZ </b>are currently on
tour as part of the <b>Nylon Summer Music Tour</b>, supporting Neon Trees. Full tour routing is below.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
