PR reports: Anneke van Giersbergen, singer
for world-renowned Dutch rock act THE GATHERING, has decided to pursue
new goals in life and music. In a statement from van Giersbergen, she says:
Dear people, I wanted to send out this message to all of you to inform
you that I have decided to leave The Gathering. After much consideration
and some serious soul searching, I feel that it is time for me to change
my direction in life and develop and search out new goals.
In all the wonderful years that I have
been a part of The Gathering, we, as a band, have always strongly believed
in sincerity: both personally and within our music. I have always been
able to give one hundred percent of myself to the band and its music. Over
the last year I developed an urge to initiate my activities from a different
place in my heart, focusing on myself and my family.
In order to stay true to myself, the band,
crew and the fans, I see no other option than to leave the band and pursue
my new goals in life and music.[see full story for more]-

PR reports: Chuck Ragan, the former front
man for post-hardcore heavyweights Hot Water Music, will release his first
studio solo album Feast or Famine on August 7. Fans received a glimpse
into his solo work earlier in the year with a stripped-down live solo effort,
Los Feliz. With Feast or Famine, Ragan delivers a fully-realized and compelling
collection of 12 exceptional new songs.
Feast Or Famine, at its core is undeniably
a folk record in the most traditional sense of the term. The violin-driven
“Do You Pray” is startlingly reminiscent Bruce Springsteen's Bob Seeger
sessions; “Don't Cry” recalls Uncle Tupelo and the austere “Symmetry” is
dripping with so much raw emotion that you can almost feel Ragan's presence
next you as he delivers his lyrics with his trademark urgency and passion.

PR reports: Manic's atmospheric rock has received
an electronic makeover courtesy of Faint bassist Joel Petersen's nom de
plume, Broken Spindles. The sole knob tweaker for this electro side-project
has remixed the L.A. band's track, "Carolina Ghost," off their forthcoming
EP, ANOTHER NEW HOME, due July 24 on Suretone Records (The Cure, Weezer).
The exclusive track, filled with a mix of robotic breaks and beats and
staccato synth, will be made available soon.
This reinterpretation is a direct inverse
to the paranoia-filled original found on the band's sophomore EP. The loping
bass line and uneasy guitar meshed with a steady drum beat set the dark
tone that permeates this four-song collection. [see full story for more]-

PR reports: Karl Hyde and Rick Smith, together
known as everyone's favorite and most sought-after electronic band, Underworld,
have announced their plans of a US tour taking place early Fall ’07. In
the last five years, the demand has been great, the fans eager, and timing
is now ripe for a return for the act notorious for it's phenomenal and
life-changing performances. They weren’t being cheeky in not attending
to the great States, they were only biding their time in production studios,
and refining what most already deem brilliant. What they will bring to
the outdoor stages at Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks and Central Park, one can
only guess, but one must go see…..and hear.

PR reports: Canadian rock/metal band Inner
Surge and director Shaun Friesen of Free Zen Design will be launching the
band's new music video for "Wolves". Inner Surge and Shaun Friesen first
teamed up in late 2005, when Free Zen Design did the original artwork and
layout for Inner Surge's "Signals Screaming" CD, which received top reviews
after it's April 2006 release through Cyclone Records.
The "Wolves" music video is a radical departure
from Inner Surge's previous video "Retribution Song", produced by "Cabras"
film director Fredy Polania. Always one to break the mold, Shaun Friesen's
directorial debut focuses on multimedia collage and conceptual animation
based on the songs subject matter - the events leading to and during the
1994 Rwandan genocide - while the band takes a backseat. Inner Surge was
inspired by acknowledged heroes such as Paul Rusesabagina and Romeo Dallaire,
as well as the stories of the many ordinary Rwandans who helped others
through this event.
The video for "Wolves" is currently posted
at MuchMusic's AXS website at the full story link.- Click
