Off and Away collects ten lush, ultra-melodic, cinema-scope pop numbers, each infused with tinges of country, Dylan rhymes, and unforgettable hooks.

Produced by Erik Paparazzi (Cat Power and The Dirty Delta Blues).

Higgins is a 60's styled guitar pop man-force. The guitar heavy A-side "Yes I Know" Close your eyes and you might hear some Ray Davies, some Beach Boys, some of Zeppelin's rhythm section, some Mike Bloomfield guitar, some McCartney, some Zombies; and all kinds of good good stuff. The B-side "Slap Or Pinch" is a delightful must-have home recording from head Hig Kevin Fish.

The Gentlemen's signature brand of sophisticated silliness makes its marked return with this 12 song live-in-the-studio romp. This third album is full of hot jazz rhythms and banjo fire. Featuring "William Howard Taft," "When Your Lips Are Playing My Kazoo," "On the Badminton Court," and "Dipping Sauce" amongst others.

New York City's best dressed two man band returns with Great Calamities, their second long playing record album. The Gents deliver original circus-country and dixieland-swing with banjo, string bass, kazoos, & a triangle. Enjoy the tight harmonies, the matching suspenders, the good old Vaudevillian charm! Enjoy the expanded band arrangements! Enjoy the unforgettable songcraft! Enjoy 13 damn fine numbers including "Prime Numbers" and the "The War of Northern Aggression."

Seven inches with a big hole. Two sides. Two hits. This single, the band's first platter for Serious Business, is meant to be consumed repeatedly.

With this debut album, the mighty Hearts retain the punk blast spearheads of their '04 EP but venture into more complex and expansive territory, marked by strange folk, breathless monologues, raucous blues and blue-eyed, bloodshot soul. Frontman Joe Willie spins tales of the city, airline bottles and whiskey in the fridge.

The Gents play original, old-time, music at a reasonable volume and a lively pace. The 14 selections on this debut long-player will make you laugh, cry, drink and think. Perhaps one day you'll meet them, peddling their musical wares in your local park or tavern. Perhaps you'll enjoy yourself and will drop a dollar in their basket. Perhaps they'll spend that dollar on spirits.

This is the first fruit of a nation-spanning, party-time electro-hardcore super partnership. These psychedelic party jams feature overlapping razor-edged drum-beats, fuzz bass, future-world synths and fanciful, fetching lyrics. Delusions of Adequacy writes that DZUSA is cheerleader music like The Go! Team, except they "are the rebellious biker cheerleaders, snorting lines of coke under the bleachers after the game and having unprotected sex."

Listen with a beer as "both bands wreak considerable rock and roll havoc" and find out why the vinyl fetishists pour their paychecks into this lascivious split. You too can witness the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Check out MiG's exciting video for "Thirty Six" in the Music section.

Here's the record that started it all. This seven-song blast of ultra-distilled American-styled rock and roll features a riff-happy experimental bar-band fronted by one shoutin' drunkard. You'll hear weird chords and dirty, bouncy, driving beats. The songs are about Dylanology, giving up on rock and roll and other fascinating topics. "FOUR STARS," says All Music Guide.

Here's the debut LP from Serious Business co-founder, Unsacred Hearts/DZUSA alum and current OK Go guitarist A-Ross' irresistible solo project. It's a candy factory, stuffed with symmetrical washes of electric guitars, sweet-sweet harmonies and tom-tom rolls. Enjoy songs about true heartbreak and living in restless times, each bestowed with Hitsville chorii aplenty.

"Incommunicado" from this debut EP was elected by the Village Voice's Chuck Eddy as one of the top ten singles of 2003. This essential debut EP is one cathartic post-post-punk sweat-bath from NYC's most persistently awesome noise-pop thrill brokers.
