yeaaah baby boyz (and girls)

we've done it! the official british invasion has begun!!!

the following comes from online e-zine in the muthafawkin UK.





"ATHERTON & SIRE - A Different Way Of Doing The Same Old Thing
(Vinyl Tap Music)
www.vinyltapmusic.com

Canada's Atherton & Sire first came to my attention when I heard one of their tracks which sounded like someone rapping over an old 1980's console game. How pleased I was to hear that it was added onto the end of this album, it's belting!

The beats on this album are brilliant, pure and simple. Sire's way of switching up numerous styles for Atherton to rap over is superb on this record, with Everything starting the proceedings off on some fantasy-strings vibe and haunting backing vocals before flipping the script to bring some honky tonk piano into the melody on ATM, where Atherton delivers his knowledge on money and lack thereof. Another standout track, Past Tense, is another floaty sampled beat with high strums and a simple piano beat and Three Simple Words, the duo's love song, has some Spanish guitars twiddling under Atherton who hits the listener with original take on those three magic words - "headtrips and mindgames" as he puts it in the chorus.

This is a great album which varies in tempo and style but always maintains a high level of sound. Definitely one to check out!"

what up peoples,

we now have our CD available at yet another spot online.......CD BABY.

the main point of intrigue with this online distributor is that you can actually preview every track off the album before going ahead with the purchase. 

so go check http://cdbaby.com/cd/athertonsire

 

 

Also for other artists checking up on this we highly recommend the use of Cd Baby as they are on point with payments, and distribute your music well beyond the site itself.  They also distribute the music in digital form to companies like Itunes and napster, as well as into the catalogues of over 2400 retailers internationally.  The catch is a 35$ start up fee, but its well worth it if your a DIYourselfer indie cat like ourselves. get more info at cdbaby.net .  and a big thanks to Shad for the heads up on this one.

good morning sheep,

So it has come to my attention quite recently that there is enough of you out there interested in what I am saying that the demand for copies of the lyrics within our album is now something taht i must address formally..........sooooooo what I propose is this: anyone wanting visual copies of the words that I rhyme together may  request them here in the blog section or msg me,  If you have any specific tracks you'd like to study in written format please let me know (specific tracks are much easier for me)...................I will settle any debates you are having with friends surrounding whether or not I say "cigarette patch" or "cigarette package"  on Deep Blue and so on and so forth.  Anyway on another somewhat related topic we just want to send muchos love out to those who copped the album already the response so far has been a thing of beauty and dexterity.


stay fresh kidz,
