RollnSmoke Scoop

Roll is really looking forward to the August 18th release of Brendan Benson’s new solo, alt-rock album “My Old Familiar Friend’ because the track “Feel Like Taking You Home” rocks the casbah!

Keep your eyes peeled for emerging R&B duo out of Southern Cali (and MySpace) called The Write Chix, newly signed to Jamie Foxx’s recording label (check out tracks “Make Up” and Jazzy’s “In Love”). On the heels of their fabulous album release WOLFGANG AMADEUS PHOENIX, the French indie-rock band Phoenix has announced a US fall tour. An interesting sign of the times: The number of teens streaming music online jumped from 34 percent in 2007 to 52 percent in 2008. Go, RollnSmokeRecords!

Alt-rock acts Florence + The Machine and Kasabian – both featured on the RollnSmokeRecords site, are the favorites for the 2009 Barclaycard mercury Prize.
