When rockin' around the Christmas tree just ain't enough, Armoury Records presents "We Wish You A Metal Xmas & A Headbanging New Year", an all hard rock and metal compilation of everyone's favorite holiday songs which features the likes of Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Geoff Tate (Queensryche), Ronnie James Dio, Lemmy, Alice Cooper, Billy F.

Justin Vernon began recording as Bon Iver following the breakup of DeYarmond Edison, an indie folk group similar in tone and manner to Iron & Wine, Little Wings and, to a certain extent, Bonnie "Prince" Billy. Pronounced 'bohn eevair', it is French for "good winter" which is spelled wrong deliberately. This debut CD is centered around Justin Vernon, who is the primary force behind Bon Iver, as he moved to a remote cabin in the woods of Northwestern Wisconsin at the onset of winter, alone for three months. From this solitary time emerged a bold, uninhibited new musical focus of all his personal trouble, lack of perspective, heartache, longing, love, loss, and guilt that had been stockpiled over the past six years into songs. The NY Times called this record "irresistible", and it was given a "Recommended" rating by Pitchfork. 9 tracks. Jagjaguwar Records. 2008.

This the second release from Nick Huggins' burgeoning Two Bright Lakes stable out of Melbourne - A label to watch when it comes to organic, laptop folk & disguised indie pop. Seagull is a lo-fi slice of melodic, pastoral folk pop, with the occasional electronic fluctuation, and at times moving towards youthful, angular, guitar workouts.
