This will serve as the album artwork for their debut LP, “It’s a Corporate World”. Here’s what Epstein said about the eclectic album: ‘It’s a Corporate World’ is really about two individuals existing in separate lives, and the ideas that can form or possibilities that can open up when one person starts to rely on another with a genuine sense of trust and mutual respect”.

Beats Antique Head Out On The Road

Combining string quartets and dubstep is not an easy task, but Beats Antique somehow pulls it off. The trio have been around for three years, hammering out three albums and a couple EP’s in that short span. Beats Antique released their latest album Blind Threshold this fall.

Now the band has announced a new U.S tour that has them pounding the pavement for the next couple months. Beats Antique also mentioned something about a SXSW appearance that I’m sure they will touch on sometime soon.

The Seedy Seeds Announce New Album And Spring Tour

Cincinnati’s The Seedy Seeds have a new album, Verb Noun, and you can listen to the title track here! The band was formed in 2005 and this first track shows us exactly how well they’ve perfected their sound in those few years.
