"Tom has written some of the most powerful, insightful, and evocative songs of his career, delivered with phenomenal energy and passion by the Heartbreakers, an extraordinary rock and roll machine that just keeps getting better and better. It's a privilege for all of us at Warner Bros. to join them in celebrating their No. 1 album." Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers have hit the road for an extensive North American tour which continues into October. This weekend, the band will headline the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. Hypnotic Eye has been critically embraced around the globe: "On Hypnotic Eye, the 63-year-old and his eternal Heartbreakers return to the scrappy heat of those early days with their toughest, most straight-up rocking record in many years, deepened by veteran perspective." - Rolling Stone "Passionate yet wise, accessible but not slick, Hypnotic Eye casts a lasting spell." - USA Today "Equal of anything Petty has released in a long and righteously distinguished career"  - Daily Telegraph (U.K.) "A Rock 'N' Roll Triumph - Were this the summer of 1984, "Faultlines," ''Red River," ''Forgotten Man" and "Sins of My Youth" would be constants on the radio." - Associated Press "As romance, ethics, community and the economy collapse, Mr. Petty and the Heartbreakers offer two old-fashioned bulwarks: the solidarity of the band and the sinewy construction of the songs."  - The New York Times "All of Hypnotic Eye carries a sense of knowing urgency, as though jamming on itchy blues is the only logical defense against the inevitable."- Entertainment Weekly "One of the best albums in the band's catalog" - Newsday "It's his catchiest, most sharply focused album in years." - New York Daily News "Impossible not to like." - The Guardian (U.K.) "Petty sounds as inspired as ever." - NME (U.K.) For more information on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and their new album Hypnotic Eye, visit:  www.tompetty.com.

Hardcore DEVO Tour Live release available via PledgeMusic

DEVO Partners With PledgeMusic For Release Of  "Hardcore DEVO Tour Live"

DEVO has partnered with direct-to-fan platformPledgeMusic for their upcoming live album release. The American rock band, who broke onto the scene in the 1980's with a string of hits such as "Whip It," will be making a live album and DVD from their June 28th performance at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA during their recent "Hardcore DEVO Tour." DEVO will be involving fans in the process through their PledgeMusic campaign. During the tour, the band played seminal, experimental songs created before the band released any music on a label and rose to fame. The tour honors original band member and longtime DEVO guitarist/keyboardist Bob Casale who passed away earlier this year - a portion of the tour's proceeds will go to his family. The "Hardcore DEVO Tour" resurrected the early creative efforts that first brought the band together. DEVO Hardcore LIVE will document this once-in-a-lifetime experience and be released as a CD, DVD, vinyl and Blu-ray deluxe disc with bonus features. Pre-orders of the CD/DVD will allow fans to engage with the band during the album making process, providing exclusive access to behind-the-scenes photos, videos, tour artifacts and more (update as confirmed). Pledge your support at http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/DEVO "We can't believe that we are working with DEVO on this amazing campaign!" said Benji Rogers, President and founder of PledgeMusic. "This project is truly about the music and the hardcore fans. By going beyond just the radio favorites this makes the whole thing an incredible journey for those super fans who have been following the group since their early days." Gerald V. Casale of DEVO said, "I'm not noted for being optimistic but the Hardcore DEVO Live horn 'o' plenty (DVD, Blu-Ray, CD, Vinyl LP) has me genuinely high hopin' as we mix and edit a truly DEVOlved show. One for the ages!" PledgeMusic is the world's leading online, direct-to-fan music community, offering artists a unique way to engage their fans in the music making experience whilst interacting with PledgeMusic's global community of music fans.      #  #  #

Wildbirds & Peacedrums are back with their thrilling new single 'The Offbeat', the first single taken from their forthcoming album Rhythm. Their first new material in four years, Rhythm is the fierce, singular vision of husband and wife duo Mariam Wallentin and Andreas Werliin. It sees Wildbirds at their most lean and defiant, and as intense as their exhilarating live performance. It’s appropriate that ‘The Offbeat’ is the first track to be released from Rhythm. There is power and confidence in its minimal execution; a simple statement of intent. The provocative video, edited by Jacek Zmarz, fuses the primal elements of rhythm and desire inherent in the song. Watch on YouTube or Vimeo. ‘The Offbeat’ is released today, and is available to download for free. Rhythm is released on 3rd November, let me know if you would like a copy! Wildbirds & Peacedrums’ first European tour since 2011 starts in November. Here's a full list of confirmed dates so far: Sat 8 Nov - Kampnagel, Hamburg, GERMANY Sun 9 Nov - Grüner Salon, Berlin, GERMANY Fri 14 Nov - Village Underground, London, UK Mon 17 Nov - l’Espace, Paris, FRANCE Tue 18 Nov - Le Ciel, Grenoble, FRANCE Wed 19 Nov - Biko, Milano, ITALY Thu 20 Nov - Südpol, Luzern, SWITZERLAND Fri 21 Nov - Saint Ghetto Festival, Dampfzentrale, Bern, SWITZERLAND Thanks Ben
