The Defiance family keeps growing with the addition of our latest signing Rocky Votolato from Seattle, WA. Defiance Records is set to release Rocky's latest 'True Devotion' in Austria, Switzerland & Germany on February 26th, 2010. 'True Devotion' is a passionate, stripped down, and mostly acoustic reflection on moments from Rocky's current life; showing us where he is, where he has just come from, and where he’s going. Walking the line between autobiographical fact and fiction the album is deceptively simple, peppering impressionistic narratives with moments of lyrical wisdom that can knock the wind out of you.
Anyone who orders the 'True Devotion' LP from Green Hell Mailorder will have the chance to order a special package including colored vinyl, a bonus 7" single and a free download-code.

The bonus 7" single includes the two non-album tracks 'Rushing to the Ending' (with James Bowman of Against Me! on guitar and label-mate David Bazan on drums) and 'Disposable Soldiers'.

Rocky Votolato is coming back to Europe in May. Make sure to pre-order tickets now!

One of the most cutting-edge alt/rock bands making music today is unquestionably Portugal. The Man - proven once more when Alternative Press included the group's last album, Censored Colors, on its list of "10 Essential Albums of 2008" and named front man John Baldwin Gourley 2008's "Best Vocalist." The band, with atypical behavior the norm, recorded their soon-to-be-released fourth full-length album, The Satanic Satanist (out July 17th, 2009 via Defiance Records) in what was a very different way for them.

Rather than wait until they arrived in the recording studio to think about new material, the band - Gourley, Zachary Scott Carothers/bass, Ryan Neighbors/keyboards, and the drummer for the album, Garrett Lunceford - gave pre-production a shot, writing and rehearsing new songs long before they pressed "record." And, if that wasn't enough, the band further stepped outside of their comfort zone of recording near home and working only with long-time friends by enlisting the production team of Paul Q. Kolderie, whose previous clients include both the Pixies and Radiohead, Adam Taylor (the Lemonheads, The Dresden Dolls) and Cornershop sitarist/keyboardist Anthony Saffery, and flying to their Boston Camp Town Studios to record.

"I was terrified," Gourley confesses with a laugh. "We've only worked with friends, you know? It's always been people we knew really well. And this time around, we were working with Paul, Anthony and Adam who have all been involved in very successful projects. So we wanted to do what they would have expected us to do rather than just throw something out there. And actually, it felt so much better doing it that way."

That said, The Satanic Satanist is still unmistakably Portugal. The Man, as the group has returned to working with loops and samples once more, certainly the most they have since their 2006 debut, Waiter: "You Vultures!" "We played all the songs live to begin with," Gourley recalls, "then went back and tweaked them. But I've always loved loops and samples. I think they have such a cool vibe and such a specific sound that you can only get from sampling. You can't get those sounds from real drums. We just hadn't had the chance because we'd been touring so much and I guess Church Mouth [Portugal. The Man's sophomore effort] needed to be that stripped-down record coming off of Waiter, when we realized that we couldn't do the samples live. And recording Censored Colors was done with Kay Kay [and his Weathered Underground], so it didn't make sense to be messing with loops when we had so many real instruments lying around the place.

An album chockfull of standouts, The Satanic Satanist's lead-off track, "People Say," finds Gourley speaking out against the human cost of war, "Lovers in Love" sees the band working the groove like Isaac Hayes or Curtis Mayfield in their blaxploitation days, while "Work All Day" could pass for ?uestlove slowing down the beat to "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)."

For keyboardist Neighbors, as much of a departure as this album represents, it still feels like it's part of a continuum with everything they've done. "The songs all just kind of work together," he says. "They all have that Portugal sound even though the ideas themselves can be drastically different. It's all still Portuguese."

With the release of The Satanic Satanist approaching, Gourley is looking forward to joining his band mates on the road, which will include the band's first-time major festival appearance when they play Hurricane and Southside in June, with other shows and festivals to be announced soon. "We could have eight hours a day of practice in a practice space and I don't think it compares to the 45-minutes to an hour and a half we get a night out on tour."

Portugal. The ManPORTUGAL. THE MAN ONE OF ALTERNATIVE PRESS' "BEST OF 2008" Band Celebrates by Heading to Boston to Record Next Album

LOS ANGELES, CA -- January 7, 2009 -- John Baldwin Gourley, vocalist/guitarist for Alaska-rooted indie darlings Portugal. The Man, has been named the "Best Vocalist of 2008" by the editors of Alternative Press magazine (February issue, just out). Additionally, the magazine's staff selected the band's third and most recent release, "Censored Colors," as one of last year's "10 Essential Albums."



The editors cited Gourley's "instantly-recognizable" voice, his "layers of delicate vocals that lend P.TM songs their unique, neuvo-vintage sound." The decision to include "Censored Colors" as an "essential" album had the editors pointing to the band having "caged an ambient aural menagerie," making the album and the band "'the land of the midnight sun's most illuminated export." The magazine's initial review of the CD hailed it "impossibly cohesive and gloriously disparate with songs that equally evoke vintage Led Zeppelin and Marvin Gaye."

Following this prodigious recognition, Portugal. The Man - Gourley, Zachary Scott Carothers (bass), Ryan Neighbors (keyboards/vocals), and newest full-time member Garrett Lunceford (drums) - head next week to Camp Street Studios in Boston to begin recording their fourth album. The band will work with producers Paul Q. Kolderie (Pixies, Radiohead, Throwing Muses) who mixed "Censored Colors," and Adam Taylor (The Lemonheads, The Dresdon Dolls). Known for shying away from any pre-production, this time P.TM comes to the studio with a slew of demos in various stages of development. Gourley, who usually pens lyrics the night before he is due to record them, has been writing for some time now, focusing on a few years of life in Alaska. The new album is expected out mid-summer on the band's own Approaching AIRBalloons label via Defiance Records in Germany, Austria & Switzerland.

2008 was a memorable and busy year for Portugal. The Man, with the recording and release of "Censored Colors," the formation of their own label, Approaching AIRBalloons, a partnership with Equal Vision Records in the US, extensive touring here and throughout the U.S., and their outspoken opinions of former VP candidate and fellow Wasilla, Alaska resident, Sarah Palin. This New Year promises to be even more action-packed.

Alexisonfire tour cancelled!
Sad news: due to a family emergency Alexisonfire have to cancel their German dates, the tour will probably be postponed to September '07. Read the statement below:

“I regret to inform everyone that we have to cancel the Alexisonfire tour. We will not be doing our shows from May 5 through May 12. We have had a family emergency. I will be sending one band member home early tomorrow morning, and the rest of us will follow on Monday. We promise to do what we can to make up these shows to everyone, especially the kids. Unfortunately, these are circumstances we can not help, or predict. We would love to power through and finish these dates, but family comes first, and we can't lose sight of the obligations back home. Again we apologize for this, but we have no choice but to go home immediately. Thank for everything and hopefully we'll see all of you later this year.”
Stu Schuster, Tourmanager Alexisonfire – Saturday, 5th May 2007

PORTUGAL. THE MANEverybody please welcome Portugal.The Man to the Defiance Records family!! What is Portugal.The Man? Portugal is a country, not a man. Can a country consider itself a man? Are you confused yet? To clarify, Portugal.The Man is a band and no, they are not from Portugal; they’re a devastatingly handsome and talented group of guys hailing from the arctic wastelands of Wasilla, Alaska. We've cut a deal with Fearless Records to release PTM's debut album "Waiter: You Vultures!" over here in Germany, Austria & Switzerland. We're super excited to work with them and cannot wait for the album to be released on June 16th, 2006. More infos coming soon ... Meanwhile check the Defiance Radio! There's two new songs: One track by Portugal.The Man and one new track by Delorean!

Portugal. The Man

A tour is following, probably right after the Soccer World Championship or something ... we'll see what happens! By next week we'll have a song playing on Defiance Records so keep coming back to our homepage!!!

We've been hearing rumors that Joel & Raul from It's Not Not are planning to travel Germany to come to your favorite local club, spin some of their favorite records and get all crazy, drunk & fucked-up. Should be a smash!!! We'll keep you posted. Just keep checking back here at Defiance!

Felix Heuser of the Mighty Pornophonique has just put his touch on the Data Break's "Don't Call Us" in a spankin' new remix of the song.  Check out the band's MySpace home where this new version can be heard and compare with the original on the new album, "Clap!"!

Some news for Alexisonfire: This is crazy!! You've gotta check this out. You can watch Alexis's latests split-video with their friends of Moneen right here at MuchMusic! If you want to see Moneen's version of "Accidents" click here! Really a great idea, but honestly: did you expect anything less from these crazy Canadians?
