CRISIS IN HOLLYWOOD TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM
Financial Records’ CRISIS IN HOLLYWOOD is gearing up for the release of their sophomore album SAFE AND SOUND on May 12, 2009. Produced by Anthony Raneri of Bayside, the follow-up to their critically-hailed debut Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea, this album sees the band more focused on their songwriting and delivering an album filled with the kind of tenacious pop hooks that sink deep and grab hold. “Safe and Sound leans towards pop/punk for sure, as we all love a great hook, but we’re going to put out an album that a metalhead, a punk, and an indie rocker can all appreciate,” says vocalist Adrian.

Musician and entrepreneur Vinnie Fiorello officially announces the launch of his new endeavor, Paper + Plastick Records, based out of Gainesville, FL. Fiorello, who is a founding member of legendary ska/punk band Less Than Jake, and founder/former owner of the successful label Fueled By Ramen (Fall Out Boy, Panic!

Fiorello also plans to release music digitally via the Paper + Plastick website, www.paperandplastick.com, weeks before the music will be available on digital retail outlets such as iTunes, Amazon.com and Emusic.com.

THIS PICTURE READY TO RELEASE EP ‘BLUEBIRDS’
