-- ACEFACE RELEASE NEW EP
Toronto's premier mod-rockers have delivered their long-awaited third release through Fading Ways Canada. The self-titled EP features six tracks of brand new material. Once again, front man Carl Nanders joins the rest of this quintet, pairing some new influences with his love of mod-soul and Brit-pop. The result is music that belongs somewhere between the Who and Pet Sounds in your cd collection. Aceface careens from fury to lechery or revolutionary fervour with uncanny ease, and the intelligent, inspired lyrical content is always a highlight.
We'll be celebrating the release with a gig at Toronto's Neutral Lounge on Saturday, February 23. Come for the kick-ass rock, stay for the fantastic dj-ing. Media inquiries and interview requests can be directed to Tina Siegel at tina.siegel@gmail.com. Chartattack has also run a story on the release.
-- FW ARTIST COLLECTIVE FIRST RELEASES OF 2008
2008
is poised to be Fading Ways' strongest ever year, with the release of
several new label titles via our existing, as well as new, distribution
partners (in Germany and Portugal).
The growth of the Fading Ways Artist Collective, which featured the release of The Banshee's "Public Talks" album at the end of last year, continues in January with the release of Jim Clements & The Right to Die's new album "When the Saints Go", and is followed in February by The Singles' "Start Again"
album. Jim and his new backing band, The Right to Die, unveil the
album headlining London's Borderline club friday Jan. 11th.
The album can be purchased via www.fwmusicstore.co.uk.
Johnny Charmer's Red Orkestra have also released a new EP, Enola, following last year's second European tour. Here at home in Canada, Aceface are all set to release a brand new EP this February.
-- THE PARIAHS TURN 20
The
Pariahs will celebrate their 20th anniversary with back to back shows
at Toronto's Bovine Sex Club, October 18th and 19th. This auspicious
occasion will - mental acuity permitting - be followed by the release
of the band's fifth cd in 2008. Local support for the festivities will
include Troy Sinister and the Trailer Park Ghouls, Romeo Liquor Store,
Snowblower and Days Left. Local rock luminaries Staci T. Rat and Rue
Morgue Radio's Tomb Dragomir are also slated to supply true, blue rock
n roll and DJing before, between and after the live rock n roll
spectacle.
Twenty years - that's gotta count for something in this 'here today, gone tomorrow' world!
The Pariahs also welcomed a new addition in bassist
Sean Beresford this year. Sean is adapting to his miscreant band
mates with disturbing ease. Keep an eye on this site, www.thepariahs.com
and www.myspace.com/thepariahs
for more info.
-- FW ARTIST COLLECTIVE GROWS
August 30th, 2007
The Fading Ways family of labels is
happy to announce the expansion of its FW Artist Collective that
operates via www.fwmusicstore.co.uk. Several Canadian artists have
recently joined the Collective, namely Broomfiller, Vaslav, The
Machines and honourary Canucks Buck Brothers. We also welcome, on an
international level, the fantastic rock n roll prowess of New York
Loose as well as Italy's The Banshee. Visit our Collective page to find out more! Here are some album covers... click on them for more info!

-- FINALLY... UPDATES!
July 4th, 2007
First, our apologies
for the lack of site updates. We're back now, with Tina Siegel as
the new FW Canada director, and we come bearing gifts in the form
of exciting news from the past six months. Read on to find out where
we've been and where we're going, and be sure to visit our Canadian
Street Team on MySpace.
We celebrated January '07 with the release of our label's 50th title:
a 2-CD set featuring label artists on disc one and several FW Artist
Collective & FW Music Store friends on disc two. Several artists
chose to cover each other's work, with special honours mentions
going to Aceface (for their cover of the Pariahs' "Essential")
and The Sinisters (for their speedfreak rendition of The Conscience
Pilate's "Money & Alcohol"). Our Canadian contingent
– always ready to party - released the cd at Toronto's legendary
El Mocambo in late January. The occasion garnered us a great article
in Chart magazine. Check it out here: ( www.chartattack.com/DAMN/2007/01/2603.cfm
). And if you missed the fun, never fear: Fading Ways 50 is still
available via our online music store. Click the cover on the left
to order your copy from the FW
Music Store. Here's to the next 50!
ACEFACE IS BACK!
Aceface fans rejoice! Toronto's premier mod-rockers
will be releasing a 6-song EP before the year is out. The long-awaited
followed up to 2005's Threat Level: RedWhiteBlue - which was praised
as 'a lefty's freak-out jam session' and 'a readathon with a very
welcome ass-shaking twistathon' - will be available via Fading Ways
Canada. Check back here, or head on over to
www.aceface.net, for further details - you'll know more as soon
as we do!
NEIL LEYTON
Neil
Leyton, now residing in Camden Town, London, has recently returned
from a tour which took him - along with his Swedish backing band,
the Ghosts, and our very own Johnny Charmer - through most of Germany,
with some Austrian and Slovenian dates as well. In August, Leyton
will be playing bass and producing an as-yet untitled album project
for Rich Ragany (ex-Lindy and Red Autumn Fall guitarist, now also
living in London) at Stockholm's Acetone studios; after which he
will perform at the ProtestFestival in Kristiansand, Norway, on
the 7th of September, with two Swedish shows on the calendar that
month as well; next full European tour following in late October.
Here is a link to the last song of the last show of the past tour,
live
at the Kulturpalast in Hannover. Keep abreast of developments
here or visit www.neilleyton.com
to find out about the new Leyton Album Support Package; and don't
forget the new www.myspace.com/neilleytonandtheghosts.
Meanwhile, the Pretty
Volume project with Ky Anto has been released in the UK via
the FW Artist Collective, and yet another side project, with the
Hellacopters' Nicke Andersson, will also be announced soon!
JOHNNY CHARMER & RED ORKESTRA
Red
Orkestra front man Johnny Charmer spent two weeks in Europe this
spring opening for Neil Leyton and the Ghosts, as well as filling
in on bass for the Ghosts' Jan-Eric Olsson on some dates. It was
Johnny's first international deployment and, by all accounts, a
resounding success. In fact, he was so enamoured of the experience
that he plans to do it again in October. Also on the horizon are
new Red Orkestra releases, including an EP this winter and a new
album for 2008. The band's sophomore disc, Life With the Machines
, has been called '…a steady stream of pleasing pop…'
and '…an album which will surely touch all those who open their
hearts to it…'
Can Red Orkestra top that? Absolutely. Keep an
eye out for RO's third album in 2008. Producer/engineer Steve Payne
(also the bassist in Boy and The I-Spies) is once again on-board
and demos are being recorded already. Further details to be posted
here and at
www.redorkestra.com and www.myspace.com/redorkestra
as they become available.

grow. Check out www.fwshare.co.uk

-- NEIL LEYTON'S THIRD ALBUM: THE BETRAYAL OF THE SELF
Sep 15th, 2006
Leyton's third album will be released this coming
Monday Sep. 18th via Fading Ways UK / Cargo Distribution, with a
domestic release in Canada via Scratch,
and a mainland European release via Sweden's Feedback Boogie. Leyton
will be on the road for five weeks starting October first, and the
album has already - as expected - started to polarize UK reviewers
with some of its controversial lyrics. "Some people are not
intelligent enough, nor wordly enough, perhaps not even true enough
to themselves, in the Gruen sense: They're just not going to get
it. But that's the press for you - if you don't have a life of your
own you can always write about someone else's, haha. Others think
it's brilliant and are calling it the new soundtrack to Velvet Goldmine.
While that is clearly an over-simplification as well, it's quite
fine by me". The album is named in tribute to Swiss psychologist
Arno Gruen's book, Der Verrat am Selbst, which is now very hard
to find in the English language, being out of print. Leyton's updated
artist site, www.neilleyton.com
provides more information about the record.
You
can order the record online from anywhere in the world via the FW
Music Store by clicking the banner on the right.

will follow later this fall via Fading Ways UK and Fading Ways Finland

NEIL LEYTON LAUNCHES DEAD FASHION BRIGADE EP IN LONDON UK
On May 22nd, 2006, at Camden Town's Purple Turtle,
Leyton will be joined onstage by his Swedish backing band the Ghosts,
as well as guitar hero Rich Jones (ex-Black Halos, Yo-Yo's). Beware
the wrong date printed on the back cover of the current UK Rock
Sound magazine - the show is on the 22nd, not the 25th. Support
comes from Leyton's friend Mark Fernyhough and the magical talents
of the White Russians. The Dead Fashion Brigade EP was produced
by Ginger (Wildhearts) and mixed by the Stagger Twins (Leyton &
Jones). It foreshadows the Betrayal of the Self album that will
be released in September...
Meanwhile, a brand new Leyton "live archive" album is
now available at Fading Ways UK's online store. Recorded in Helsinki
and featuring two sets by Leyton, one electric and one acoustic,

the issue, and will speak alongside other invited panelists: CRIA
President and U of T Entertainment Law Professor Graham Henderson,
lawyers Barry Sookman and Ronald Dimock, MP Sarmite Bulte, the Parliamentary

Bob Young, and Professor William W. Fisher III, from Harvard University.
