Ok Kids. It's time to get your folk-rock-bluegrass-pop-punk on with these 3 new artists from OOB Records.

Greenrose Faire plays rousing Celtic folk rock with head-bobbing, toe-tapping rock feel. The Finnish sextet meshes mandolins and violin with rock drums and bass and symphonic synths and spikes the rollicking attitude with the slightly ominous overtones of Finnish melancholy. Greenrose Faire sounds lively and modern but still tugs at the nostalgia strings for the long-gone days of yore.

They draw from Celtic and Nordic folk traditions, infusing them with bluegrass rhythms and pop clarity.

Schëppe Siwen's impact extends far beyond their music, as they support various social causes.

Today's Pre-Order Announcement

Following the critical success of their self-titled 2020 debut, 2022's "Promises of Hope" and 2024's "What We Really Like In Stories", The Bardic Depths are set to return in 2026 with their highly anticipated fourth album, "Some Things Are Worth Remembering".

In a fitting conclusion to their story, the band has announced that this release will serve as their final album together. To celebrate the project's success over the last seven years, the band has joined forces with Wild Thyme Records to release the album on vinyl in October. A CD release will follow the vinyl edition.

Fans who order during the first month will have their names printed in the album sleeve insert as Executive Producers. Every order comes with a free download of the single and the album when it is released.

Marking a deeply collaborative milestone for the group, the upcoming album features songwriting contributions from Gareth Cole alongside Dave Bandana’s evocative, keyboard-led orchestral arrangements. The first single released on June 19 will be the bittersweet, nostalgic track "Rewind", which features a lead vocal performance from Bandana backed by soaring harmonies from Peter Jones. Opening with the 9-minute epic "Islands" featuring a bombastic guitar arrangement from Gareth Cole and evocative lyrics from Brad Birzer, the new album explores the hazy, fragile nature of memory. Blending full symphonic power with intimate ambient textures, powerful vocals from Peter Jones, inventive drumming and soaring guitar solos, "Some Things Are Worth Remembering" is a poignant interpretation of modern, conceptual progressive rock.

Time for Different Kind of Disclosure Day!

"A Light In Ethereal Night" is the 5th studio release from Edison's Children's. The band consider this to be the second installment in a trilogy that began with 2011's "In The Last Waking Moments". That album told the story of a man distraught after experiencing something he could neither explain nor prove, left suspended between two incendiary possibilities: was his "alien abduction" real or has he descended into madness? The album's final track The Awakening ended without resolution.

"A Light In Ethereal Night" picks up the story where it left off.

All pre-orders will come with an autographed card.

If you would like your name listed in the album credits, please go to edisonschildren.com.

LATE NIGHT PRE-ORDER ANNOUNCEMENT!!

What is a “grimalkin” you might ask? Well, it is the 16th-century English variation of "graymalkin" (gray cat) and was later popularized by Shakespeare's Macbeth as the name of one of the witches' familiars, a cat companion with magical and supernatural associations.

It is also the name of Pattern-Seeking Animals' upcoming sixth album. It is eight songs with a few different musical directions, production approaches and instrumentation.

“It is unmistakenly P-SA and that's a good thing”.

Each pre-order will come with an autographed card.

NEW PRE-ORDER ANNOUNCEMENT

'St. Lo - reimagined' is the completely re-recorded adaptation of the Nine Stones Close debut album 'St. Lo'.

It was recorded nearly 20 years after a nearly fatal accident inspired Adrian Jones to record 'St. Lo' (where the accident took place). As you can imagine, the original is a deeply personal album on which Adrian recorded all music. While rereleasing remastered versions of the later Nine Stones Close albums, Adrian also returned to his debut album, only to find out that it needed much more than a remix or remaster. With the help of his Jet Black Sea and Nine Stones Close bandmates, he not only rerecorded the album but also extended it massively. The result is a new 19-track album clocking ay over 72 minutes. A bonus disc contains a remixed and a remastered version of the original album.

RESERVE YOUR COPY NOW:

Nine Stones Close was originally set up as a solo project by Adrian Jones in 2008, resulting in a debut album, entitled St.Lo. The band is named after the remains of a mysterious ancient stone circle situated in the Peak District of Northern England, where Adrian Jones grew up. After a chance encoun...

NEW ARTISTS FROM OOB Records

Jyoti Verhoeff is a singer-songwriter, composer and pianist. At the age of four, she discovered the expressionistic power of the grand piano, while visiting the house of composer Simeon ten Holt, a friend of the family. She started playing by herself at the age of eight when her parents bought her a piano.

Having been born with disabled eye vision, she had to find ways beyond the usual ways of studying music to express her rich inner world through the piano and with her voice. Because of her dedication and unique talent for music she was able to develop a virtuoso piano technique and an authentic, organic and intuitive style of composing.

Her reduced eye vision made her highly sensitive and she has a very accurate and detailed hearing. Jyoti: "Music became a journey to become fully present in every frequency of a note, a growing awareness of an intense and deep way to communicate beyond our common belief structures."
