Juno-award winning Bedouin Soundclash will release the much anticipated follow-up to hit record "Sounding A Mosaic" August 21, 2007 on SideOneDummy Records. Titled "Street Gospels" the album features the single "12:59 Lullaby" which appeared on the hit series GREY'S ANATOMY as well as the infectious first single "Walls Fall Down".
Recorded in Toronto and New York, the band once again called in the talents of legendary Punk-Reggae bass player Darryl Jenifer of Bad Brains to produce "Street Gospels." The band also brought in Money Mark (The Beastie Boys) on keys, Wade MacNeil (Alexisonfire, Black Lungs) on vocals/guitar and the legendary Vernon Buckley vocalist of The Maytones, all lending their unique flavor to the album and helping to create the most diverse and grassroots Bedouin Soundclash record to date.
You can pre-order Street Gospels now and when you do you'll get an autographed 11 x 17 poster! To pre-order the record click HERE.

Chuck Ragan's Feast or Famine out now!!!

Chuck Ragan's debut studio album, Feast or Famine, is in stores now!!! One listen to Feast Or Famine, and it is undeniable that the deep, gruff voice that once screamed powerful punk anthems belongs to none other than Chuck Ragan. The former Hot Water Music frontman has become a musical troubadour, writing stripped-down acoustic songs that retain the same passion evident in his punk rock career. Feast or Famine beautifully captures the sound of a gifted singer/songwriter as he journeys into the next chapter of his musical life, with an acoustic guitar in hand.
He will be playing at the Metro in Chicago tonight August 9th with Matt Skiba from ALKALINE TRIO and will then set off for Europe! His fall tour plans are in the works.
Click HERE to get a copy of Feast or Famine or Los Feliz now!
