(Columbia Records; New York, NY – June 28, 2016) – Legendary Grammy award winning singer/songwriter/producer Barry Gibb has signed with Columbia Records and will release his first album with the label titled, In The Now, in the fall of 2016. The surviving member of one of music’s most successful and revered bands, the Bee Gees, (formed with his brothers Robin and Maurice), has kept In The Now a family affair, writing all the songs with his sons Stephen and Ashley. Produced by Barry and co-producer John Merchant, the album is only the second solo effort of Gibb’s career and his first album of all new material since the Bee Gees final studio album in 2001.  In The Now is an impassioned solo effort that signals a welcome return of one of the most identifiable and versatile voices in the history of rock, pop, and R&B. The 12-track album was recorded in Miami with the same gathering of accomplished musicians Barry assembled for his acclaimed 2014 solo tour. As a record producer/songwriter, Barry has been instrumental in creating milestones for other artists, ranging from Barbra Streisand’s ‘Guilty’ album to Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers country record ‘Islands In The Stream’ also, Diana Ross ‘Eaten Alive featuring ‘Chain Reaction’ as well as Dionne Warwick’s ‘Heartbreaker’ album. “This is a dream come true for me. It’s a new chapter in my life. I always hoped one day that The Bee Gees would be with Columbia or indeed Sony so, it’s a great joy for me to start again this way with such great people” Between Robin, Maurice, and Andy, the Gibb brothers achieved 19 number one records on the Billboard charts including, a phenomenal 6 in a row equaling The Beatles record. “I will never forget my brothers, they will always be a part of everything I do. Our dream came true” Barry returned to live performing in 2013-2014 with the Mythology Tour, celebrating the Bee Gees anthology release of the same name as a tribute to his three brothers. The acclaimed tour included shows in Australia, New Zealand, England, Ireland, and The U.S., garnering an outpouring of affection and critical praise from around the world.

BROOKLYN, NY (June 28 2016) - Today, Noisey is excited to exclusively debut The Strokes' brand-new music for "Threat of Joy." Drawn from their new EP -- the band's first release in three years -- the song finds the band back together in a music video for the first time in five years.

Directed by long-term artistic cohort Warren Fu (who's worked extensively with everyone from Daft Punk to Snoop Dogg to HAIM to Weezer), the video veers between the random and the surreal, with mystery, subterfuge, and intrigue all blended together in a bewilderingly intricate plot.

THE AMAZONS SHARE NEW VIDEO FOR NIGHTDRIVING

UNVEIL NEW VIDEO FOR LATEST SINGLE ‘NIGHTDRIVING’ WATCH HERE http://po.st/TANDRYT Headline UK tour this autumn, including Oslo Hackney, 13th October “The Amazons… are already getting people hot under the collar with their rowdy rock’n’roll.”– Beat Magazine “You don’t want to miss The Amazons” – Huw Stephens “a soaring vocal masterpiece that perfectly captures their angsty euphorically blended guitars and striking momentum” - SoS The Amazons today release the video to their latest single Nightdriving. Watch the video here: http://po.st/TANDRYT Filmed and directed by Matt Goff, the video offers an intoxicating visual accompaniment to the track, which follows frontman Matt Thomson in the back of a car following a night out – a situation many people are oddly familiar with. Shot in the band’s hometown Reading, muddled Thomson is joined by various characters, blurring the lines between reality and figments of his imagination. Nightdriving was produced by Catherine Marks (Foals, Wolf Alice) and was premiered on Radio 1 by Huw Stephens and championed by Steve Lamacq on Radio 6 Music. The track is the newest addition to The Amazons’ abundant repertoire as this year’s emerging band to watch out, garnering new fans and word-of mouth praise through their dynamic live performances and explosive rock anthems. This autumn The Amazons hit the road for their most extensive headline tour across the UK to date, including their biggest London show yet, at Oslo Hackney. Make sure you don’t miss out.

ABOUT GIRLPOOL:

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Girlpool is a two piece made up of Cleo Tucker (Guitar) and Harmony Tividad (Bass). The two met at legendary Los Angeles DIY venue the Smell and quickly grew very close. Their sound is raw, comprised only of a guitar, bass and vocal harmonies. Cleo and Harmony use this stripped-down instrumentation to accentuate their vulnerable yet powerful lyrics. 

Before The World Was Big, their critically acclaimed debut LP, explores the concepts of growth, friendship, and the interaction between identity and environment. The introspective-punk duo captures growing pains and existential quandaries with a honest and true intention.

PRAISE FOR GIRLPOOL:

"Raw, minimal, yet emotionally fierce... loaded with moments of offhand intimacy and caustic wit." -

Rolling Stone 

"Before the World Was Big brims with a mysterious power, a charged and palpable sense of hope and awe... It is a quiet album of uncommon intensity." -Pitchfork

"When Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker harmonize, it's like a lightning bolt to the gut." -NPR

"The rawness and vulnerability of their lyrics, combined with their social and political consciousness, both transcend and reflect their youth." -Grantland 

"Equal parts radical and sentimental... bristles with the crackling, wistful energy of change and approaching adulthood." -LA Times
