STEREO ROOKIE
Something For Everybody
New from Paisley Pop!
Stereo Rookie's Something For Everybody is the first full length release from this Dallas based trio. Brothers Daran (keys, guitar) and David (vocals, bass) DeShazo along with Aaron Kelley (guitar, violin) wrote and produced Something For Everybody at Kelley's studio between 2003 and 2004 with the sole intent of putting out a record that reflected what they value in music: strong songs with strong production, and no gimmicks or underlying cuteness. Stereo Rookie enlisted the help of Chomsky's James Driscoll (additional engineering) and Matt Kellum (drums), and The Adventures Of Jet's Rob Avsharian (drums) to round out the project. Although the songs span from anthemic (More, Kneepads and Listerine) to lo-fi (Brand New Rope) David DeShazo's voice ties everything together honestly, and convincingly.
Stereo Rookie has of plenty of Cheap Trick/Rick Nielsen guitar chopping, Jellyfish piano bounces, lots of late-era Beatles melodies and arrangements and Matthew Sweet`s neighborhood of finding a classic hook that sticks.
"The high-quality of the production and crystal clear, challenging arrangements make this an affair that folks looking for high-brow pop that is accessible and easy to listen to, Stereo Rookie deliver on many fronts. Lead singer David DeShazo has some pipes that remind us Pat DiNizio`s croon.....a perfect voice for pop and what`s going on here. Extremely Highly Recommended!" -- Bruce Brodeen, Not Lame
"It`s also a wonderful mix of early Radiohead meets The Posies melodic pop. Aided by members of Adventures of Jet and Chomsky, Stereo Rookie tends focus on strong songs and strong production, with glorious results."-PopBangRadio.com.

THE SUNBIRDS
No Sun No Shadow
"No Sun No Shadow transcends the hypothetical questions of what could have been if 28th Day had remained intact, and leaves us with a small gem, full of its own musical virtues." -Ken King, Junk Media
"Remnant of Up On The Sun era Meat Puppets, the threesome has the lazy stoner ideal down. The vocals are drawling and fall in their outcast vernacular across the mix with a tongue in cheek humor that is wonderful. The contemporary connection might be made with pre-Soft Bulletin Flaming Lips" - Erik Mertz, Cosmik Debris
"The Sunbirds were a short-lived project formed by Cole Marquis and Mike Cloward shortly after the breakup of 28th Day, and while Larry Crane was taking a break from Vomit Launch. They reportedly played no more than a few gigs in their hometown of Chico, CA, and left behind a six-song demo tape that earned them few shows and no recording offers.
No Sun No Shadow features that original 1986 demo in its entirety, as well as another six tracks the trio cut during a brief reunion in 1997 (which repeats three songs from the original sessions), and listening to it, you have to wonder what was wrong with the people who heard this, for No Sun No Shadow presents the work of a band with considerable promise and obvious talent to spare.
Blending a dash of R.E.M.'s jangle with the Meat Puppets' dusty Western psychedelia and the Feelies' facility for the rhythmic, non-hippie jam, the Sunbirds sound gloriously hypnotic on these recordings, with an elusive but very real melodic beauty lurking within Marquis' rich chordal guitar sound and an equally alluring menace weaving its way through their songs. While these recordings sound very much of their time and place, No Sun No Shadow doesn't sound dated so much as the testament of a band that got lost in the shuffle and deserved a lot better; the Sunbirds' ghost town fusion of trippy energy and ambitious relaxation is powerful and infectious, and Paisley Pop is to be congratulated for ensuring that this band's small but vital recorded legacy is preserved for the ages." ~ Mark Deming, All Music Guide
