April 10th, 2008

We Versus the Shark is hitting the road for 6 weeks!! They’re making the trek all the way to the west coast and back. In better news, as of around 1 week into their tour, they will have copies of their newest full-length, Dirty Versions, with them for sale. The official release date of Dirty Versions is going to be set for July 1st. We’ll also have Dirty Versions available for purchase on the Hello Sir website in just a few days…

HO-AG is also hitting the road in a few days for around 3 weeks of shows. With them, they will have their newest release entitled Doctor Cowboy. The release date is set for May 17th as of right now, but we’ll have copies of this release available for purchase on the Hello Sir website around the 25th of April!

So Many Dynamos is always touring… they’re playing around 2 weeks of shows starting the 25th of April, and I’m sure they’ll be playing several new songs from their upcoming full-length that should see a Hello Sir vinyl release later this fall… hopefully.

Hello Sir Records and Golden Antenna Records (Germany) are teaming up to release the vinyl versions of both Maserati’s Language of Cities record and A.Armada’s Anam Cara EP. We’re expecting the release of Anam Cara on both CD and Vinyl within the next 2 months and the Language of Cities in July. Keep checking for more information on these new releases!!

Cinemechanica is putting their finishing touches on their double drum EP release right now. The CD version is to be released by STIFF SLACK in Japan, but in exciting news, Hello Sir is going to be releasing the 10″ version here in the states.

Many thanks to everyone for your support! Keep checking back for more info and updates!

“EP of Bees EP is more, more, more: more vocals, more prodigiously fast and complex rhythms, and more moments that could cause arthritis in Guitar Hero XII: Athens Rises Again.” - Jason Crock - Pitchforkmedia.com

SIR013

“What initially strikes me as impressive about Flashlights is how in control of the chaos the band seems. Most of these songs are brimming with excitement, at times pushing things into post-punk territory.” - pitchforkmedia.com“Dudes looked ordinary and innocuous enough setting up, but once the lights went out, the St. Louis-based fourpiece let out the electricity in fits and jolts– jittery, stop-start guitars, clipped shouts, hairpin rhythmic turns– like so many, er, energy-producing machines. Yeah. Impressively, they sustained that manic energy throughout…” - pitchforkmedia.com - live show review

“With influences ranging from Les Savy Fav to Devo, this indie rock band makes dance-punk, spazz-rock, rawk-revival, and post-hardcore– all for at least a minute at a time.” - pitchforkmedia.com

SIR010 | SIR 011

“The Martial Arts isn’t about wanton experimentation or diversity — it’s the goddamn guitar album of 2006! With unexpected twists and turns around every corner, each song pile-drives your carcass into a host of irresistible riffs and inventive changes.” — tinymixtapes.com - Jon Pfeffer

“…genre labels rarely aptly describe the bands they’re attached to, and they certainly do little to explain the spastic, razor-sharp music on The Martial Arts.” — pitchforkmedia - Cory Byrom
