Candy Hearts, an indie/punk group from the New Jersey & New York area, headed by Mariel Loveland, Kris Hayes, Christian Migliorese, Christina Picciano

Their new full length album "Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy" came out in September of 2011. A limited edition cassette is due out February the 14th, 2012. To support the new material, Candy Hearts will tour the US, stopping in Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia and Texas along the way throughout February.

"Lead singer, Mariel Loveland posses a voice that cuts deep into everyone's perpetual 16 year old self, imperfect but honest. The band who carries on in the Matthew Sweet/Teenage Fanclub tradition, reminds me of the latter day era of the Replacements. With songs that contain a strange realness to them, snapshots of life on the road and the big city, merged with a band trying to harness all it's electricity into 2 minutes."-The Captain's Memos

After more than 200 concerts as a solo artist in Copenhagen, Berlin, London, New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Bruxelles, Bremen, Malmö, Providence and Austin the debutalbum has now been brought to life, in collaboration with producer Noah Rosanes.

The Album was released on iTunes in US, Canada, Australia and Mexico on the 3rd of October 2011 and will be gradually released in 35 countries over the next 6 months. Now an EP with interpretations of the Punk/Rock band "The Freudian Slip" is in the making. Release date is set to January 16th 2012

The two releases has been promoted with both a European and a US tour. In December Echo Me will tour, Germany, Netherlands, France and Spain.

Jesper Madsen is the Danish songwriter behind Echo Me. He's been writing songs since the age of 10, starting of "borrowing" lyrics from artists found in his parents' collection.

The name Echo Me stands for that similarity, there is between Jesper and his music. The songs are echoes of his personality and his thoughts. His sound is an echo of his own taste and his own ideals.

The genre is Nu-Folk and Echo Me has often been compared to artists such as Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley.

The Shake are four, young NYC-based musicians who play Rock n Roll. While the majority of the New York scene has proven intent upon integrating gadgets, triggers and pedals to curate something original, the shake rely on the simple strength of their joint creativity and their shared faith that songwriting is - and always will be - a band's most essential instrument.

They have been called "the American Arctic Monkeys, with a little bit of Muse thrown in for good measure;" (Hollie Jones, Secret Sound Shop) were named one of the 28 Best Bands of CMJ 2010 by BlackBook Magazine and; were the headlining band of the publication's CMJ Showcase this year. The Shake are proof that forward-thinking Rock n Roll is alive and well, even in the nucleus of the revivalist-centric scene that is New York City in 2011.

Family is everything... It can define who you are. It can reveal and support strengths and passions. It can create intuitive bonds through shared experiences. It can drive you crazy, but it always brings you home. And it's at the absolute core of THE DOYLE BROTHERS.

Having been lovingly described as "young guys doing old songs in a new way", the duo of Todd Doyle (Box, Vox) and Ryan Jacob Doyle (Vox, Axe) stem from a rich musical heritage (older brothers David and Brad Doyle are also musicians, while their parents, music teacher Tom and artist Cindy Doyle, married shortly after performing together in a 70's folk group) that was inescapeable. During their formative years, the boys' household was constantly filled with audio influences, whether coming from indivdual's record or tape collections, pop radio stations, live rehearsals, or just fooling around singing. The vocalizing may have come naturally, but it wasn't until the lads were in their mid to late teens that their efforts to play in a group came to fruition with the band More Than Me.

Their 10-plus year tenure in that outfit has recently brought them the opportunity to share the main stage of the Hard Rock Calling Festival with Sir Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Crosby Stills & Nash, Crowded House, Stevie Wonder, Pearl Jam, Ben Harper & Relentless 7, Jamiroquai, The Hives, James Morrison, Corinne Bailey Rae, The Gaslight Anthem, Joshua Radin, Mary Mary, Robert Francis, They've also opened for Brett Michaels, The Black Eyed Peas, De La Soul, The Gin Blossoms and Boys Like Girls.

As the duo, along with playing steady gigs around NYC and their hometown of Buffalo, NY, Todd and Ryan have been proud to have hosted several charity events, including "Songs and Sundaes" with Anderson's Frozen Custard and Children's Hospital, a summer concert series where all proceeds from Doyle Brothers' CD's and "Have A Heart" sundaes sold at all local locations went directly to the hospital.

As evident on their recent cover EP "Two Bros, One Box", the guys' sound is appealing to all age groups due to the timeless nature of their song selections. Their live shows have seen the youngest toddlers dancing around with the most seasoned elders grooving along to tunes that are as familiar as they are timely. Along with the uncommon and tight arrangements, the experience is enhanced by the good natured report that the siblings share both on and off stage. It's a connection that has been developed and nutured their entire lives.

It's the kind of thing that can only come from being family.
