Please welcome Stay Ahead Of The Weather to the family!
"Sometimes it seems like our lives can be stretched thin by our careers, by our hobbies, by any number of distractions...
but this is something that the four of us will always be able make time for."
Stay Ahead Of The Weather is almost a year old. They're four friends living, working, playing music and growing up in a Midwest DIY scene that means the world to them. A few of them play in a couple other bands (Into It. Over It. / Native / Castevet), but started this band for fun. They wanted to write songs that they love and have another excuse to hang out with each other in between going to shows and going to work. After almost 9 months of toiling over each guitar line, drum fill and trying to work around all of their individual touring schedules, they finally set time to record their first 5 songs, a collection which is titled "We Better Get Goin' If We're Gonna." They recorded the album in three days with their friend Mark Michalik (The Swellers, Fireworks, Castevet, Into It. Over It.) at Drasik Studios in Chicago, IL. No Sleep Records was later kind enough to put the record out on a 7", the way the band initially envisioned it (and had always intended it) to be.
* Stay Ahead Of The Weather features:
Evan Weiss from Into It. Over It., The Progress - vocals/guitar
Nick Wakim of Castevet, Oceans - drums
Bobby Markos of Native - bass
Matt Jordan - Guitar
* The new album was recorded in the late summer of 2010 with producer/engineer Mark Michalik (The Swellers, Fireworks, Into It Over It)
at Drasik Studios in Chicago, IL, and mastered by Carl Saff (Melt Banana, Young Widows, Coliseum)
Track List
1. Get Old Or Die Tryin'
2. Impressions & Impressing People
3. Sorority Social Suicide
4. No Sleep Till Humboldt
5. Butchering A Back Catalog

When It Comes To Aficionado
An 8 piece band based out of Albany, New York, the members of Aficionado proudly wear their hearts and punk roots on their sleeves while seeking to shatter the glass ceiling imposed by most post-punk drawing. Their debut No Sleep release "When It Comes to Creation" was produced and recorded by the legendary Don Fury (Quicksand, The World/Inferno Friendship Society, Gorilla Biscuits), and features five highly excitable hook-filled tracks (plus one more bonus track available with digital download), offering up an unorthodox blend of post-punk and experimental rock.
As the fourth track, "Naysayers," roars across the finish line, vocalists Nick Warchol and Laura Carozza urge, "I know what I want, and that's all that I've got, it's the least I can say, at least I know what I'm not." This sharp sense of purpose bolsters the music from start to finish. A triple guitar attack provides the foundation for their big rock sound, with blistering solos and weaving harmonies, while the twisting interplay of keyboards, horns, and flute provide for unique textures and melodies.
"When It Comes to Creation" challenges ideas that as we all grow older and venture into adulthood, we have to abandon all of the things we love and all the places where we find passion, in exchange for safety, security, and acceptance. We seek the acceptance of our music scenes, our peers, our parents, and we're told that if we file down all our rough edges and sharp corners, and just be the things that everyone else wants us to be, we will all be happy and successful. However these successes are measured by material and monetary profits rather than by the value of our experiences. There's nothing wrong with selling yourself, as long as you're not selling a cheap knock-off version of yourself. Like it or not, this is Aficionado.
* The vinyl release will be available on clear vinyl with a screen printed b side limited to 500 copies for the first pressing, download card included.
Pre-order available NOW here!

No Sleep welcomes Atlantic/Pacific!
Brooklyn’s Atlantic/Pacific – featuring Garrett Klahn (Texas is the Reason) and John Herguth (House & Parish) – sign with No Sleep Records and announce the release of their debut album Meet Your New Love – due out October 26th, 2010. These two experienced rockers are joined by Ian Love (Rival Schools) who contributes guest instrumentation as well production skills to help the group create their psych/folk sound that will appeal to fans of indie-rock as well as rock and roll traditionalists with its’ looped yet tribal yet shuffling drums and both dynamic and big guitar sounds.
Meet Your New Love was recorded and produced by Ian at the Brooklyn Love Studios this past winter and features 10 songs of give and take intimate vocals – Garrett’s immediate, John’s hushed, a study of layered guitar work and pensive melodies ranging in influence from Fleet Foxes, Beach House, Washed Out and The Smiths. In addition, the album was mastered at the Boiler Room in Chicago by Collin Jordan, whose skills can be seen on albums from Kanye West to Ministry.
Atlantic/Pacific formed in the summer of 2008 when long time friends Garrett Klahn and John Herguth began kicking around a few songs in Garrett’s Brooklyn apartment. Soon after, Atlantic/Pacific started performing in NY and Europe with projections of 70s skateboarders and surfers playing behind them. The band did shows with Mercury Rev, Neil Halstead, Chamberlain, and Walter Schreifels, and have played the UK’s TRUCK Festival – an annual UK music festival often seen as a microcosm of Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds – for the last two years in a row. In the fall of 2009 they self-released an EP called Autumn Edition Volume 1 – which was well received by fans and led them to start work on their full-length debut.
Altantic/Pacific was thrilled when No Sleep approached them about joining their majorly diverse roster (Pop Punk, Hip Hop, Emo, Screamo, Hardcore, Indie and so on) and releasing Meet Your New Love. Set for an October 26th release, the band will be hitting the road in support of the new album so look for tour dates to be announced soon. To catch a preview of Meet Your New Love, go to Atlantic/Pacific’s MySpace to hear “Patterns” and “Some Weary Valentine.”
