Kaki King is a feisty, five-foot, funny, outspoken Atlanta transplant who now lives in New York, a city whose energy is almost equal to her own. She also happens to be the most exciting solo guitarist/composer to have come along in decades. On her new album, Legs to Make Us Longer, she blazes through a set of original works with an intensity that reflects her world -- the subway platform gigs, the late shifts at the Mercury Lounge, the surreptitious intermission entrances into Lincoln Center to catch some Stravinsky -- more than the new age stupor that most solo guitar music seems to induce....

The next he's gone almost Marshall Crenshaw with the early-rock-meets-Beatles; while later he'll veer into grunge and scream all over the place...." -- Alternative Press Have a listen: www.valemmich.com HOPE OF THE STATES Release The Lost Riots Since their 2000 inception, Hope of the States had been touted as one of England's most promising new bands. This sentiment will now grow by international proportions with the US release of their debut, The Lost Riots, on Epic Records, today. The Lost Riots is expansive, sprawling, cinematic...and devoid of proper categorization. Unabashedly epic, Hope of the States' debut full-length album begins with a wash of instrumental bliss, and ends in a bath of swirling harp. It is neither guitar rock, nor pure string-driven orchestration; it is neither dark, nor whimsical; it is neither brash, nor subtle. The Lost Riots rollercoasters through all of these attributes with refreshing sincerity. It's a ride that ends all too quickly, inducing tears of sadness and elation all the same. www.hopeofthestates.tv LVL IV - Level Four - the Debut from the Buffalo Quartet FUTURE LEADERS OF THE WORLD A musical testament to the indomitable will of the group's front man, Phil Tayler. Produced by GGGarth (Rage, Chevelle and Mudvayne), co-produced by Mike Flynn and mixed by Andy Wallace and Michael Barbiero, LVL IV describes Tayler's personal and spiritual journey through 10 songs that swing wildly between socially-conscious rants and restrained moments of melody that reveal the songwriter's vulnerability. What makes the album even more remarkable is the poverty, homelessness and despair the 20-year-old artist endured to make his music a reality.
