Masters of the Hemisphere NEW ALBUM!

Our favorite sons from back-in-the-day kcore have graced us with a new record! Maybe These are the Breaks is perhaps their best effort to date and an amazing return to form for the dudes who have been spending time traveling the world in their other bands Still Flyin' and Night Moves Gold. The album comes out October 4th on kindercore/Magic Marker and will be available on CD and Vinyl in addition to the electronic verison. Check out the summer jam "Jim Belushi" and get ready to have your pop craving smushed by the sweet sounds of the Masters.

Caught between the Moon and New York City

Ruby Isle was up for the title track for the new Arthur remake that is coming out tomorrow. SPOILER ALERT! We didn't get it...

Up until yesterday we didn't have rights to the track, but the kind folks at Warner Brothers gave it back to us and we are dying to share it with you. It is actually my favorite Ruby Isle cover and believe me, we have done a lot!!!

For those unfamiliar with the song, it was originally done by Christopher Cross for the original 1981 movie starring Dudley Moore. It is an awesome yacht rock jam and perhaps the best part of it is the literal lyrics that basically tell the story of the original movie. We stayed pretty true to this one unlike the Guns N' Roses album we just did and tried to preserve the yachty-goodness with a touch of electronica.

I am both excited and scared about the new remake featuring Russell Brand. I really like him, but I also REALLY like the original movie. Anyway, I'll be paying to get in just like everyone else.

Here is the track, enjoy and let us know what you think!

It was fun while it lasted...

Kindercore is confused to announce that Ruby Isle's song for song remake of Guns N' Roses' "Appetite for Destruction" has been removed from online music outlets and record stores and will no longer be available for purchase online or anywhere. Just in time, Ruby Isle is scheduled to play a release show for Appetite at The Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis, MN on Saturday, January 29th.

No copies of the record will be availalble at the release party.

New stuff, iTunes, vinyl, cds... oh my!

It looks like Ruby Isle's Appetite for Destruction has hit the iTunes store. Gotta love the comments the metal heads are making. Just what we were hoping for!!! The Gold Party EP is arriving next week on CD with wonderful packaging designed by Kim Kirby and a Remix from Feral Youth. And last but certainly not least, the Grape Soda vinyl is on its way too! Can't wait, 2011 should be fun!!!
