New Myths is the fifth full-length by The Mercury Program. It includes six songs and willl be released on LP and digital download on May 20th

It was written and recorded during five distraction-free days spent in Northwest Vermont with the band’s friend and touring sound engineer, Peter Bartsocas. Sketches from previous sessions were further refined and new songs quickly took form. The band emerged from the trip with a nearly complete set of songs, with only “Constant Static” realized later, as drummer Dave LeBleu wove together and expanded on snippets of unfinished material.

The record is the product of a week’s worth of studio time, but many years worth of thought and planning. It reflects The Mercury Program’s current state of operation – keeping a slow pace, but always moving forward.

Originally released in 2001, And We Washed Our Weapons in the Sea was the final release by Northern Virginia-based trio, Frodus. 

Recorded in the summer of 1999 with Brian McTernan at Salad Days Studios, Weapons is a depiction of life in the late 20th century at the cusp of a major technological and lifestyle transition. It’s an album that documents the times, displaying within the music the undying human element that remains glowing amongst the constant hum of the world. 

Since the initial release, the album has continued to build a die-hard fan base, despite the group’s inactivity. Countless bands have named Frodus as influencers to their sound and the landscape of experimental hardcore music.

AUXES is the brainchild of Dave Laney, also known as guitarist and founding member of the bands MILEMARKER and CHALLENGER.  Initially conceived as a solo project, the first AUXES LP, “Sunshine” (Lovitt Records, 2007), was an impressive display of multi-instrumental virtuosity, with Dave handling all instruments and even engineering the recording himself.  Their latest album, “Boys In My Head”, represents the direct culmination of each of the musicians’ unique influences, resulting in melody-driven noise- rock with pop appeal that has won the band positive reviews and features in publications such as Visions (DE), Intro (DE), Slam (AT), Ox (DE), Silver Rocket (CZ) and MOWNO (FR) .  

Four LPs into their existence, Auxes continue to sail against the preconceived boundries and restraints of punk, indie rock, noise rock, and pop. They've taken their sonic spectacle across Europe and the USA, putting in 200+ shows in 19 countries.  You can purchase “Boys In My Head” digitally via our Bandcamp page or a host of other digital sites including iTunes.
