Multi-platinum selling artist, the Ying Yang Twins, announce a late Summer release for their forthcoming full length entitled ‘Ying Yang for President,’ due out on TVT Records late this summer. The albums’ first single “Drop” leaked on Myspace and has been played an amazing 31 million times. The ATL duo is the #1 Indie artist on Myspace.

“Drop” is produced by Isaac “Ike Dirty” Hayes III (son of R&B legend Isaac Hayes) – the electro club-banger that is setting dance floors on fire.

The video was filmed in their hometown with Kaine and D Roc holding down a huge party atmosphere throughout the clip – an indication of the energy to expect from the Ying Yang camp in 2008. It was directed by up and comer Morocco, who had directed hot clips for Twista and Dude N’ Nem. The video premiered on Yahoo! last Friday.

The Atlanta duo burst on to the scene with their sexy and quirky club hit “Whistle While You Twerk” in 2000 followed by their first major radio hit “Say Yi Yi” in 2001. After signing to TVT Records, the group released a string of hits that put the group and Southern Hip-Hop on top of the charts. They included “Wait (The Whisper Song),” “Salt Shaker” and “Get Low” with label mate Lil Jon, “Badd” with Jim Jones, “Ms. New Booty” with Bubba Sparks, “Shake” with Pitbull, and “Dangerous” with Wyclef. Their 2003 album U.S.A (United State Of Atlanta) is a an absolute classic pushing the boundaries of hip-hop to include house, soul, electro-dance and the duo’s trademark Yin(g) and Yang personas.

Having sold nearly 4 Million albums over the span of their short career, the Ying Yang Twins have already achieved international superstardom – more recently by taking part in the first ever major hip-hop event in Tapei in 2007.

‘XFM Debut Sessions’ is a 2CD collection direct from XFM’s archives of session recordings and live performances, including Jack Penate, Jamie T, Kate Nash, Bloc Party and many others.

Focusing on debut albums, this album features some of the hottest UK acts to release their first longplayers in 2007, alongside classic British artists of the last 10 years. Each of the 36 tracks will be a version of a cut from the artist’s debut album recorded exclusively for XFM. These recordings have never been available before and is a must have album for fans of cutting edge new artists and of some of the biggest acts to come out of the UK in the last decade.

The album coincides with the inaugural XFM New Music Awards, which rivals the Mercury Awards for championing great British music.

Here’s a message about the album from our friends at XFM:

“Since XFM first hit the airwaves in 1997, we have lived and breathed new music – breaking bands, putting on gigs, recording some amazing sessions and being at the heart of the alternative music scene. During this time, hundreds of bands have performed for us, and everytime we hit the record button to capture these moments. Now it’s 2008 and we thought it was about time to pull together a compilation of the best tracks that have been recorded exclusively for XFM.

Listening to these recordings has brought back some incredible memories – whether it be an early session from an artist who has gone on to be a big name, or jaw-dropping performances at an intimate money-can’t-buy XFM gig from one of the world’s biggest bands – and we’ve captured as many as we could on this album.

It’s taken us ages to decide the tracklisting as there have been so many stunning songs to choose from but after listening to hundreds of tracks and arguing for ages, we managed to whittle it down…

As 2007 was such a strong year for new music, we decided to devote the first CD to bands that emerged last year, and the second CD contains classic tracks from the last ten years.

On The Class of 2007, you’ll hear exclusive songs from some of2007’s hottest new bands including Jack Penate, Calvin Harris and Jamie T.

This year we also launch the XFM New Music Award which recognises the best UK debut album of 2007. Enjoy tracks from award nominees The Pigeon Detectives, The View, The Enemy, Kate Nash, The Twang, The Maccabees, and The Wombats.”

The Disclaimer are set to release their first single, “As Long As It Takes” on November 5th 2007 in the UK. “As Long As It Takes” is the North West London indie/pop trio’s debut release off of their self titled first studio album out on November 12th.

After their recent stint of London shows, the timing couldn’t be better for The Disclaimer to be releasing their upcoming single. The Disclaimer’s live show is one of the reasons for their recent jump into popularity – their harmonies are a treat, their live sound is tight and they unfailingly please the crowd with their extraordinary stage performance.

“As Long As It Takes” is a great example of the melodic harmonies that The Disclaimer produce. The single is so ‘now’ sounding with its ska/indie edge, that it could easily sit alongside songs like “Torn On The Platform” by Jack Penate and “Foundations” by Kate Nash in any self respecting pop lover’s playlist.

If 2006 was all about promise for The Twang, 2007 has been all about delivery. Tipped by seemingly everyone at the start of the year, the five lads from Birmingham set about living up to such extravagant praise from the off whilst keeping their feet firmly on the ground.

First stop was the recording of debut album, the gold certified ‘Love It When I Feel Like This’ in Wolverhampton with long term associate Gavin Monaghan eschewing the big studios to keep it real. Next stop was a hectic touring schedule that saw the band’s fanbase explode and further saw the lads go to the people across the UK, a decision that has seen The Twang retain some of the most loyal and committed fans of the moment.

Then the promise was fulfilled, “Wide Awake” and “Either Way” becoming mainstays on radio, NME covers but, more importantly to the band, a Top 3 album position and increasingly big shows remain the high points of the year for The Twang. The summer saw them slay T In The Park, Phil unsure as to whether the huge crowd were all watching his band until the hands went in the air from front to back on “Either Way”, a packed John Peel Tent at Glastonbury despite the lake in the middle of the audience, two packed NME / Radio One tents at Reading and Leeds respectively and continued sales for the debut album that the band had thought about since the day they formed.

As The Twang journey around the UK on their biggest tour yet and another sell out to add to the list the boys have re-imagined one of the stand out tracks from the live set and the album for a single release on November 26th, 2007. Built around a cheeky sample of the bassline for Salt n Pepa’s “Push It” by Jon, “Push The Ghosts” has been twisted a little to emphasise the dance floor nature of groove and come out as a sparkling floor filler for the winter months ahead.

It seems even more appropriate – given that this is a song about their ambitions for the band – that it arrives to cap what has been for all five the best year of their lives. The single comes as a Double A with the band’s praised re-interpretation of Bran Van 3000’s “Drinking In LA” for Radio One’s 40th birthday celebrations, given a Midlands twist and a delicious lop sided groove. The formats also feature an unreleased acoustic version of “Push The Ghosts” and new tracks “First Sight” and “Put Your Faith”.

The Twang band members are: Phil Etheridge – vocals; Saunders – vocals; Stuart Hartland – guitars; Jon Watkin – bass; Matt Clinton – drums.

Is there a new trend happening? It seems electro has been creeping it’s way into the airwaves at a higher rate than normal recently and I’m beginning to have a new outlook on electro music.

See if you can get your head around this: The Ghost Frequency have mixed electro with cool synths and bass sounds, clever changes, they’ve added an indie like feel at times with punk, rock and dance beats in such a way, that they’ve certainly peaked my ears and have caught my attention. It’s always great to come across a band that’s difficult to describe.

The Ghost Frequency’s latest single, “Nightmare” is set for release 13th August 2007 on Buddhist Punk/City Rockers. “Nightmare” will be available on 7″ vinyl and digital formats.

The whole Al Gore and the seven continents idea for the Live Earth concerts did concern me for awhile when Antarctica was thrown into the mix. With all of the controversy surrounding Live Earth as it is, the thought of Al Gore flying bands down to Antarctica for a Save the Earth campaign was a bit extreme to say the least. For awhile, things got quiet regarding Antarctica so I began to think that it just wasn’t going to happen there.

Now it’s been confirmed that Nunatak is set to play at the British Antarctic Survey’s (BAS) Rothera Research Station, and that Nunatak is a house band made up of scientists that already reside in Antarctica. Good idea. Their performance will be viewed via a high-speed datalink. I think the only thing that did stop Al Gore from flying more people down there was that he physically can’t make it happen. July is winter in Antarctica, and apparently no planes or boats can get in or out at that time.

Watch a sneak preview video of British Antarctic Survey’s band, Nunatak, rehearsing for Live Earth:

I think that area of the world is precious and the fewer people that frivolously make the trek the better. On the other hand, that is one of the places in the world that I would love to go…hypocrital? Maybe if I stow away on some ship that’s going there anyway for important reasons, then I won’t be leaving a carbon footprint behind! It’s not easy dampening our natural desires to explore. These are confusing times.

Nunatak band members are:

Matt Balmer – Electronics Engineer – Singer, Guitar
Tris Thorne – Communications Engineer – Fiddle
Ali (Alison) Massey – Marine Biologist – Saxophone
Rob Webster – Meteorologist – Drums
Roger Stilwell – Field General Assistant (polar guide) – Bass

I’m looking forward to hearing them!

Ready to hit the world with their new CD, the band recently traveled to Los Angeles, CA to record with Mike K (a studio-guitar player and producer who worked with Edwin, J.

In the following year that same 6 song EP got them attention from singer/songwriter Raine Maida of the established Canadian act Our Lady Peace. They opened for Our Lady Peace in 2003. The band also performed with Big Collapse. By 2005, Mavis Drive have written many songs which is when they started working with Mike K which lead them recording their current album.
