Now with their first full length U.S. release, and riding on the success of their latest mega hit "Satisfied," veteran Edmonton quartet Social Code have hit the top of the rock charts dropping 11 tracks inspired by the masters of rock, dripping with the blood, sweat and tears of almost a decade of the trenches with their new CD "Rock n Roll." From the gloriously grinding and noisy hit "Satisfied" and the catchy "Buy Buy Baby," to the heavy, boogie rocker "fight for Love," the 11 track CD draws on influences as seminal as Bruce Springsteeen, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Cheap Trick and the Black Crowes while being entirely true to the bands own sound.

Since forming several years ago, many people have become familiar with the work of Social Code, be it through their tours with Theory of a Deadman, Buckcherry, Finger Eleven, Rev Theory and Three Days Grace, or from a pair of albums - 2004's a Year at the Movies and the sophomore, self titled release through Universal Canada two years later that spawned major radio airplay for songs such as "Bomb Hands" and "Everyday (Late November)."

With their mega hit Juliette that has become one of this spring's catchiest tunes on radio stations across the dial, Hollerado has become one of the most lovable groups on the planet thanks to insanely catchy and energetic guitar pop, boundless creativity and a relentless DIY approach. And yes, that is the original Lois Lane in the Juliette video.

Hollerado's songs combine the melody and energy of the 90s Weezer and Supergrass with the irreverent wit of Stephen Malkmus and their shows that have been described as elementary school recess with beer and pinatas and acid at a house party. Their ground-breaking debut is jam-packed with crazy-catchy melodies, raging hooks and riffs that will stay with you forever.

as Viva La Vida - A Coldplay Tribute

With a revised line-up, Tin Foil Phoenix is presently recording a new CD which will include the first single "Your Days Are Numbered." The new songs, many of which feature keyboards and a more hit-radio oriented sound lend themselves well to the vast Coldplay audience. Viva La Vida is, in part, comprised of remaining members of Tin Foil Phoenix, who signed to Chad Kroeger's 604 Records label in Canada on the strength of their independent single "Neopolitan."

Vocalist Maz states, "We used to do a Pearl Jam tribute act in our downtime to stay sharp onstage and hopefully channel songs from that music into our own sound and stage show, so the concept is nothing new to us." He adds, "A Coldplay tribute was an easy choice given TFP's new musical direction and the British band's intense popularity. Fans of Coldplay can expect to hear their favourite songs reproduced faithfully, in an intimate, 100% live setting and fans of TFP will get a feel for what is to come from the band's upcoming new material."
