"Army Unicorns" Hits Digital Shelves

Treeship Records is proud to announce the digital release of "Army Unicorns" exclusively at the Seti Alpha 5 online store, http://setialpha5.bandcamp.com.  Seti Alpha 5 has taken a slight (yet notable) change of direction with their second album; their sound is denser and more complex than their debut release, and yet they manage to retain the same "feel" that they established with 2008's "Mountains in the Sun".

Treeship Records:  "Was it your intention for 'Army Unicorns' to have a sound different from that of 'Mountains in the Sun'?"

Seti Alpha 5:  "It wasn't really an intentional departure from the sound of our first album, but more of a natural progression forward.  Rather than thinking too hard about it, we just made the music that felt right, and if anything, 'Army Unicorns' is a statement about where we are right now, not where we've been or where we're going.  It's about capturing a moment in time, and giving that moment eternal life through music."

RadioStar SF Donate "Space Wolf"

"Space Wolf" is catchy as hell.  Shredding leads, a sing-along chorus, and a little mix of punk and metal, and you end up with a great song bound to be stuck in our heads for days!  Hop over to www.RadioStarSF.com to learn more about this awesome band.  We're really proud to have them on board; their raw punk sound adds a new variety to Project Hope, and is a great addition to our growing family of artists who are doing something great with their music to make a difference.

Taunting the mainstream for fun and profit since 2002, RadioStar SF is proud to unleash their smoking new CD 'Skulls, Stars, and Guitars': a more focused, even harder rocking album than their now classic debut disc 'Greatest Hits Volume 1'.

Seti Alpha 5 to release "Army Unicorns"

Seti Alpha 5 is releasing their second album "Army Unicorns" on December 28th, and they're giving away a song "in the spirit of the holiday season" via their website, www.seti-alpha5.com!  "On a Trampoline" is the name of the song, and while they refuse to tell us what it's about, there is no doubt that they have made a slight change in musical direction for this album.  It's hard to decide what genre to put "Army Unicorns" in; at one moment, the percussion builds to a crescendo with organs and synthesizers going full blast, and the next, it's as if the music is from another world altogether.  Go check it out for yourself, be sure to grab a copy when it hits digital shelves December 28th.

Dynamo and BadNutBeats Donate Song

"Taking shape from beyond the shadows, Dynamo & BadNutBeats appear faceless, glowing white atop the black-lit stage. These beings are not quite like us, but rest assured they have our delight solely in mind. As the music begins to build, this ominous introduction will give way to a sonic journey through refined soundscapes and inspired showmanship. Strengthened by a vast performance history and an eclectic collision of influences, the duo offers an experience like no other.

Alexipharmic Joins Project Hope

Alexipharmic, hip-hop artist from the west coast, has donated a wonderful track called "Life" to Project Hope. He describes himself as "a zen buddhist rapping triumphantly over majestic instrumentals about forgotten societal issues, the triumph of humanity, and the beautiful struggle of life" but that can't begin to describe the amazing artistry present in his music. Alexipharmic's record label, Elephant Memories, works closely with Mercy Corps, and donates 50% of net proceeds from album sales to support them on their mission. We are humbled that they have joined Project Hope, and are excited to see what we can do to make the world a better place. Visit Project Hope's profile on GimmeSound to download "Life" for free (and benefit charity at the same time), and then visit Alexipharmic on CDBaby to buy the full album! Here is a bit about the music, from the artist:

Alcopop!

"Alcopop! Records" is a record label from the UK with a ton of really great bands, and they have graciously donated 2 songs from their catalog to Project Hope. "Typewriters" is from My First Tooth, a wonderfully refreshing country/folk 4 piece that just makes you wish for a warm breeze and a front porch, while "Break" by Stagecoach is a great piece of power-pop that you can't help but get up and dance to. You can visit www.gimmesound.com/hope and download each of these songs for free, all while generating donations to the charities that Treeship Records supports! I have a feeling that this is just the beginning of a long relationship with "Alcopop! Records" and we are honored to be working with them for such a great cause. Check out all of their current releases at www.ilovealcopop.co.uk, and pre-order releases from both My First Tooth and Stagecoach!

Erik Scott Joins Project Hope

We are thrilled to announce that Erik Scott has donated a song from his recent solo release "Other Planets" to Project Hope. Best known for his work with Sonia Dada, Alice Cooper, and Flo & Eddie, Erik has also recorded with dozens of other artists, including Carl Palmer, Kim Carnes, and Pops and Mavis Staples. He co-wrote and played on the title track "Father Father" from Pops' Grammy winning album (1994), and played on Mavis' title song "Have A Little Faith" which was awarded Best Gospel Blues Song by the WC Handy Foundation for awards year 2004.

"When my band of some 16 years (Sonia Dada) took a break awhile back, I found myself alone in the studio with an active imagination, some basses, and a keyboard. With no band, no singers, and no pre-dispositions, I could pretty much wander wherever the musical muse took me.
