Chris Forsyth Signs to PoB for Solar Motel.

We are thrilled to welcome Chris Forsyth, one of our favorite contemporary guitarists and instrumental innovators, to PoB. In Fall 2013, you can expect his mindblowing full-band album Solar Motel. Read on for more details about Chris’ career and to stream his music.

Stream “Firefight” by the Red Rippers.

We figured it was about time to share another song from our reissue of Over There … and Over Here by the Red Rippers. “Firefight” recounts a combat story told to songwriter Ed Bankston by a Marine and fellow Vietnam veteran after a show–he also gave Ed a killer peach cobbler recipe.

Rippers, Haw, Chance, and Gunn Updates + MP3s now for Sale from Our Site.

Despite the winter chill, things are heating up at Paradise HQ; we have a full slate of upcoming releases, and it’s getting busier around here. First, we’re pleased to announce that you can now purchase MP3 albums of select PoB releases from this website. Second, lots of press and news to share about the Red Rippers, HGM, Chance, and Steve Gunn.

Hiss Golden Messenger’s Haw Arrives April 2: Stream “Sufferer (Love My Conqueror.)”

A new Hiss Golden Messenger album, given the songs’ lyrical concerns for the cycles of nature and truths both cosmic and domestic, always seems to correspond somehow to a season’s reach. We released the autumnal Poor Moon on the Day of the Dead (Nov. 1) back in 2011, and the new eagerly anticipated, full-length, full-band follow-up, Haw, arrives on April 2, at the crest of Spring.
