Guilty Pleasure
www.ashleytisdale.com
Dist: Warner Music Canada

Ashley Tisdale follows up her 2007 breakthrough album Headstrong (gold-certified in America), with her ultra personal second album Guilty Pleasure. With this album, Ashley tries to develop independence. Instead of just making the typical rhythmic dance-sounding pop record, she came in and said, ‘I want to do something that has guitar, drums, and a little more edge, because that’s what I’m feeling right now.” This energy and attitude is definitely heard in the first single “It’s Alright it’s Ok”.

www.hollywilliams.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada

Penning the majority of the album’s 11 tracks, Holly writes with piercing clarity on situations plucked from her life. While these songs come from extremely personal places, Holly’s emotional honesty and commanding vocal performances give Here With Me a timeless quality that only gets richer on repeated listens. The first single is “Keep The Change”.

Notes & Rhymes
www.theproclaimersofficial.co.uk
Dist: Universal Music Canada

The Proclaimers have proven themselves to be a rare preeminent band that can successfully redefine itself, mature and consistently stay ahead of the times. Singing in regional accents about Scotland – its emigration and its politics, the band became a phenomenon overnight after signing to Chrysalis in 1987 and since then they have barely stood still. Identical twins Craig and Charlie Reid from Edinburgh return with their eighth studio album with its lead single “Love Can Move Mountains.” After a rapid writing period in the second half of 2008, Craig and Charlie headed back to the legendary Rockfield Studios in February with producer Steve Evans (Robert Plant, Siouxsie) to record Notes & Rhymes.

Escape Through The Trees
www.dripaudio.com
Dist: Universal Music Canada

Copilots are a five-piece rock band from Vancouver, BC. Formed in 2005, their debut self-titled (2007) CD received glowing reviews across Canada.

BLACKOUT
The Best In Town
Dist: F.A.B.

The Blackout are a post-hardcore band from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Named Kerrang’s ‘best unsigned band’ last year; The Blackout is going straight from number one draft pick to top of the league this year. The Welsh screamo-rock sextet’s Epitaph debut The Best In Town resembles an aural entry into a boxing ring: album opener “ShutTheF**kUppercut” really delivers what it promises, a powerful sonic right hand to the chin. The Blackout will be swinging one anthemic hook after another as they take the stage on the 2009 Warped Tour and by end of summer 2009, expect Britain’s best-kept secret to be a secret no more.
