Renegade soul-rockers, the Heavy are back with the release of their new album, The Glorious Dead, their third full-length LP, and the follow-up to their acclaimed sophomore record The House That Dirt Built (2009). Self-produced and with their unique, raw eclecticism fully intact, it’s their most fully-realized record yet, mixing together soul, hip hop, rock, blues and funk into glorious, raucous party music that is equally full of heart.

Rock Dust Light Star is the seventh album from British jazz funk pioneers Jamiroquai. Fronted by the charismatic Jay Kay, the European release was the band’s first album in five years, following Dynamite with the kind of catchiness that made Jamiroquai a household name.
A little over a year after its release overseas, Executive Music Group releases it in North America digitally, as a physical CD, and as a limited edition vinyl.
Recorded between Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, and Thailand, Rock Dust Light Star features the single ‘White Knuckle Ride.’ This record shows the group’s talent remains as strong in 2012 as it was in 1994.

The Family Get The Band Back together!
The Family was one of the first bands to sign to Prince’s Paisley Park Records. Their debut self-titled album, which included the top 10 R&B hit, ‘Screams Of Passion’ and ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ (famously covered by Sinead O’Connor), received widespread critical acclaim upon its release. The band performed a single sell-out show at Minneapolis’ First Avenue before going their separate ways. Now after a two decade hiatus that saw them individually working with some of the biggest names in music the band’s original members, St. Paul Peterson, Jellybean Johnson, Susannah Melvoin and Eric Leeds, are back and ready to show exactly why artists such as ?uestlove (the Roots), Sheila E. and Rahsaan Patterson are unabashed fans.
Gaslight combines the essence of the original Family album along with the band’s subsequent influences and diverse musical journeys. Dance, romance and plenty of funk, fDeluxe is that rare band that combines clever, modern material, studio savvy and the stage experience to tear the roof off.
