Lapko - I shot the sheriff (mp3 + video)

The new Lapko single "I shot the sheriff" is now officially released and is currently available as a free download for a limited time: http://www.lapko.com/
Check out the video here: http://vimeo.com/7753431

Lapko confirm new single, offer teaser

The new Lapko single "I shot the sheriff" is confirmed for release on November 23. Hear the first taste of the band's new album with the track "Monkey hate", now streaming at myspace: http://www.myspace.com/lapko

Presenting: Bouvet

Check out Bouvet, a new Oslo-based act featuring members from Death Is Not Glamorous and The First Cut: http://www.myspace.com/bouvetband
My first impression is that they're doing a heavy/melancholy alt-rock thing kind of like Lapko or maybe Heroes and Zeros, but not nearly as melodramatic as the former. Look for their debut 7" via Sound Fiction this fall.

Lapko to record new album in NY

Finnish act Lapko will be heading to Clubhouse Studios in Woodstock, New York to record their next album together with producer D. James Goodwin (Thursday, Norah Jones, The Bravery). Expect an early 2010 release.
