ROBERT POLLARD - THE CRAWLING DISTANCE (GUIDED BY VOICES INC 4)

PRE - ORDER
RELEASE DATE JANUARY 20 2009 - WILL START SHIPPING RIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS!!

From the stately Kraut-rock chug of the album opener, "Faking My Harlequin", to the schizo-frenetic closing track "Too Much Fun," with structural u-turns piled on top of tempo shifts, The Crawling Distance is unlike any Pollard album you've heard before. With 10 tracks, most clocking in at 3 and 4+ minutes, highlights include the gorgeous "It's Easy", a rare Pollard ballad (albeit a ballad with creepy oddball imagery) and "The Butler Stands For All Of Us", a subtle, melancholy song that ranks among Pollard's best ever.

CIRCUS DEVILS - ATAXIA (HAPPY JACK ROCK RECORDS 19)

PRE - ORDER
RELEASE DATE OCTOBER 31 2008

Release Date October 31 2008

H.P. Lovecraft meets Devo on ATAXIA, Circus Devils' new collection of moonshine revelries and musical trips by torchlight into the mist-shrouded fields and forests of Ohio (aka: land of mystery). Robert Pollard and the Tobias brothers treat us to an intoxicating blend of jagged, insistent rock and uneasy lullabies.

Formed in Ohio in 2001 by Robert Pollard (Guided by Voices), Circus Devils creates albums rich in atmosphere and imagery, filled with ferocity and gentleness. Their previous album, Sgt. Disco, was released on Ipecac Recordings in 2007. Ataxia will be their 6th release.

BOSTON SPACESHIPS - BROWN SUBMARINE (GUIDED BY VOICES INC - 3)

Debut album and tour from Robert Pollard's new band!

CHRIS SLUSARENKO (Takeovers, Guided By Voices, Svelt, Sprinkler)
JOHN MOEN (Perhapst, Decemberists, Jicks, Elliott Smith, Dharma Bums)
ROBERT POLLARD (needs no introduction)

Though you'll notice some subtle prog flourishes and acoustic strums, Brown Submarine is a pop punk album, made by and for kids who've worn out the grooves on their Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, Wire and dBs records. While Pollard has stretched out post-GBV, experimenting on each of his diverse and unique solo records, Boston Spaceships rock hard, have fun and drink Miller Lite.

Without undue hyperbole, Pollard is penning fantastic pop songs in a style no longer fashionable, perhaps we should say, never fashionable. Makes no difference, on Brown Submarine, Pollard's charged up and sings his ass off.

ALL BROWN SUBMARINE VINYL ORDERED FROM ROCKATHON WILL COME WITH A BURNED COPY OF THE CD IN A PAPER SLEEVE INCLUDED WITH THE VINYL. THIS OFFER IS ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH ROCKATHON
