Placebo - Bright Lights

PLACEBO release “Bright Lights” (the new single version mixed by Dave Bascombe) today in UK, France, Australia and on February 26th in Germany. This is the third single to be taken from the album Battle For The Sun.

For any fans who got the chance to see Placebo live during their current Winter Tour, you will have been treated to the new arrangement of the song.

Available on the varying formats of “Bright Lights” you will find a new remix by the up and coming UK Drum and Bass producer Randomer, an exquisite live semi-acoustic version of “The Never-Ending Why” from the SFR session in France, plus the stunning new video for “Brights Lights” exclusively on iTunes.

Guerra Total/Eternal Drak Split CD Cover 1

As things turn out, it’s looking like the release date of the Guerra Total/Eternal Drak split is going to be pushed back. Apparently a fire at the pressing plant kind of fucked up some shit for everyone involved. So this means that you, the general public, can still take advantage of the Pre-Sale Pricing of only $10 USD. This does include shipping to almost everywhere world wide. Some countries may have to pay up to $14 USD.
And remember folks, all pre-orders get a Funeral Rain Records button with the CD, and FRST members get $1 off ALL orders ALL the time.

PayPal: funeralrainrecords@hotmail.com. And yes, I’m still trying to get the damn PayPal buttons to work.

ICARUS WITCH’s third full-length album Draw Down The Moon is to be released February 9th via Cleopatra Records/Koch Distribution. The nine-track album sees the band in a more mature, yet increasingly aggressive song writing mode, stripped of the extraneous bells and whistles of synths and samples and just straight-up rocking out! The band was recently described as having a “Heavy influence of Iron Maiden combined with good old fashioned hard/rock metal production and great musicianship” by Don Jamieson, host of VH1 Classic’s That Metal Show.
