Kate Nash will release the follow up to her 2008 critically acclaimed debut Made Of Bricks on April 20th here in the U.S. on Fiction/ Geffen Records. The as yet untitled album was produced by former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler and recorded at RAK studios in the UK.

The tracking listing for Kate Nash's sophomore release is: "You'll Never Listen," "Kiss That Girl," "Don't You Want To Share The Guilt," "I Just Love You More," "Do Wah Doo," "Higher Price," "I've Got A Secret," "Mansion Song," "Oh Jay," "Later On," "Pickpocket," "You Were So Far Away," and "I Hate Seagulls."

From the outset Kate knew where she wanted to go on her second outing but with the worldwide success and nearly two years of touring after the US release of Made of Bricks in 2008, she took time out to write this album and do "normal things." Those normal things consisted of finding her first flat, learning to drive and looking after her pet rabbit Fluffy! Kate learned to play drums and in 2009 became part of a new punk band called The Receeders for which she plays bass! - more on this story

Adrian Fischer FlyinFisch This March

FlyinFisch, the new project of modern-day-renaissance-man Adrian Fischer, is set to release its self-titled debut album on March 19th. With each song representing a unique exploration into the experiences and cultural influences that have formed his musical identity, Fischer's new album is a sonic journey that should not be missed. With tour dates throughout February to support the upcoming release, Adrian is pleased to be hitting the road again, and introducing his material to new audiences.

If you try to pinpoint where Adrian has been the last ten years, you'll notice that he hasn't stayed in one place for very long. Having lived everywhere from Venezuela to New York City, and many places in between, Adrian Fischer's story is one of travel, exploration, and evolution. The resulting musical sound is as difficult to characterize as Adrian is – influenced by the tones and sounds of each place he has lived, his style is a blend of classical, reggae, pop, and afro-Caribbean influences, with each element representing a snapshot in his decade-long journey.

In FlyinFisch's debut album, Adrian has brilliantly fused his influences into one solid and united offering. While still clearly referencing the cultures and sounds that inform his music, Adrian has now moved a step further, developing a sound that is uniquely his own. With an interest in the natural world linking many of the songs together, and a desire to promote what Adrian calls "positive consciousness" providing the album's context, FlyinFisch's first offering is meant to be enjoyed by audiences of all ages and cultures, who will hopefully be brought together by Adrian's message of unity and love. - more on this story
