Oreskaband’s US debut will be released August 7th through Terry Dollar Records. The album will include their first full length album Wao!! (We Are Oreskaband!!) and the first EP Ore. From the looks of it, this may just be a digital release, I haven’t been able to find any listings for it on amazon or smart/interpunk. Furthermore, I haven’t been able to find so much as a website for Terry Dollar Records. Hopefully they’ll have hard copies at their Warped Tour dates at least.
Jonathon Mays has put up his Oreskaband panel review on AnimeNewsNetwork. They play at Anime Expo in sunny California today. In the review they announced that their cd (I’m assuming Wao!!) will be coming out in America this summer.
Look’s like Ellegarden‘s got a street team for their US release of Eleven Fire Crackers which will hopefully get them more exposure in the states.
We’re getting closer and closer to the American release of Eleven Firecrackers and we want to celebrate! We’re going to ask for your help spreading the word about Ellegarden but we’re going to try to make it fun too. So, starting tomorrow we’re going to have a contest with a new task every week until July 31st. We’ll be posting the tasks in the blog section of our profile here on myspace. We’ll be picking winners at random and they will receive an Ellegarden prize pack that may include signed posters, signed cds, and much more!*
Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive and joined our ranks of fans and friends here! Stay tuned!
*We’re so sorry but for now we can only offer this contest to US residents.
Ellegarden’s Eleven Fire Crackers is available on iTunes for $9.99. The CD comes out July 31st.
Nature Living’s new mini-album Sign of Bright is now available on Interpunk and iTunes. They also have a new video up for “This is for us” here.
There I was, in the computer lab checking my email after hours of studying for my statistics final where I read the message “Ellegarden has added you as a friend on myspace.” “Wtf? Ellegarden has a myspace? Ace!” Best part being that Nettwerk Records has decided to release their amazing album Eleven Fire Crackers on July 31st in the United States! They also plan on releasing a digital only ep entitled Figureheads which will include tracks off of Riot On the Grill which is already released in the US. Any one else exicted?

It’s not that often that 2 Japanese artists release cds in America on the same day, it’s even less often that I remember. Funny how I was at Best Buy today and totally forgot to check. I doubt most would have them anyway, especially OOIOO.
Cornelius- Sensuous
Everloving Records
OOIOO- Eye Remix EP
Thrill Jockey Records
J-Rock Explosion
