The first preview of the upcoming 10-song set arrives July 27 as a music video for the lead single “Pride,” directed by Rudy Rubio and premiering at Ditty TV.</span></p><p><span style="color:hsl(0, 0%, 90%);">“When people hear ‘singer-songwriter,’ they typically think of somebody who is white, middle-aged, male,” Graham says. But greats like Smokey Robinson, Luther Vandross, Lauryn Hill and even J. Cole deserve to be reframed as a part of the genre just as much as someone like Bob Dylan. “They’re doing it in a different way, but they’re doing the same exact thing: they’re using their voice to tell a story.”</span></p><p><span style="color:hsl(0, 0%, 90%);">Download the first single “Pride” </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://pravdamusic.com/single/78130/pride" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0, 0%, 90%);">here</span></a></p><p><span style="color:hsl(0, 0%, 90%);">Watch the video </span><a class="no-pjax" href="https://youtu.be/ZYJ4l32Q59g" data-link-type="url"><span style="color:hsl(0, 0%, 90%);">here</span></a><a data-link-type="url"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/222167/9b1f6d1e6b2c2fedba0d98a9946f23352675caa7/original/graham-pride-2-1.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></span></a></p><p> </p>Pravda Recordstag:www.pravdamusic.com,2005:Post/72402582023-07-11T15:18:28-05:002023-07-11T15:18:29-05:00MIIRRORS limited edition colored vinyl of "Motion and Picture" available while supplies last!<p>We have a very limited supply of MIIRRORS “Motion and Picture” on red marbled vinyl.

How Haledon became an incubator for these bands, who went on to spread their sound far and wide, is a matter of speculation. Maybe it was just a place in time in the early 80s when anything seemed possible to a group of suburban friends. </p>

<p>Chicago's The Handcuffs explore broad sonic territory, weaving together elements of glam, indie, art and blues rock.

Harvey, Led Zeppelin, and Patti Smith - all filtered through a modern lens - The Handcuffs deliver bold, sexy songs with memorable melodies and unexpected twists.

Out Now!<p>Work on The Static – due out November 12th – was completed just after the tragic, sudden, and untimely death of Hushdrops drummer Joe Camarillo (at 52), and now exists – in part – as a final tribute to Camarillo’s inimitable musical gifts. Bandmates John San Juan and Jim Shapiro have always regarded Camarillo as the soul of the band – not only for his unparalleled feel and creativity as a drummer, but also his ability to crucially drive the musical direction of each project, performance, and song – typically as a modest, unseen hand (“The Soft Alpha”). San Juan feels that The Static features some of Joe’s most free and magical drumming: “Better to celebrate than to mourn him, and he has given us an abundance of very special playing to celebrate.

<p>Steve Dawson’s new solo album tells a powerful story of faith lost and artistry reborn. <br>Fans of Dolly Varden, Funeral Bonsai Wedding and Dawson’s previous solo works will recognize the beautiful melodicism, brilliant craftsmanship and emotional depth expressed in the soulful balladry of “Hard Time Friend” and “Forgiveness Is Nothing Like I Thought It Would Be,” the folky reflections of “The Spaces In Between,” the sublime yearning of “Beautiful Mathematics” and the gentle dreamscape of “We Are Walking in a Forest,” a duet with Dolly Varden’s Diane Christiansen. This is material that couldn’t have been written at any other time in Dawson’s life—and it addresses life in the here and now. His songwriting continues to grow in depth and lyricism while his voice has never sounded more rich or resonant. The album’s twelve songs (plus two CD/digital bonus tracks) tie together the American musical influences that span his life: the late 60’s/early 70’s folk-rock of California, where he was born; the country music of Idaho, where he grew up; and the blues, gospel and soul of Chicago, where he has spent the bulk of his adult life. AT THE BOTTOM OF A CANYON IN THE BRANCHES OF A TREE revisits depths that many of us have experienced in recent years and takes us to heights to which we all aspire.</p>Pravda Recordstag:www.pravdamusic.com,2005:Post/65838142021-03-24T17:52:19-05:002021-03-24T17:52:19-05:00New record from Josh Caterer out now!<p>The Hideout Sessions stands as a powerful and highly listenable document of Smoking Popes frontman Josh Caterer stretching out with a new band of accomplished players for a one-night-only, live-to-tape recording. The album is being released by Pravda Records on 12” vinyl LP in gatefold sleeve, CD, as digital download and via streaming platforms on March 26. </p>
<p>On October 28th, 2020, Caterer joined forces with John San Juan (Hushdrops) and John Perrin (NRBQ) to rock out 21st century versions of songs your grandparents used to dance to “back in the day.” They covered a few Popes songs, too. It was an inspired evening of music. The recording took place on stage at the Hideout, one of Chicago’s most beloved intimate music venues. Due to the pandemic, the Hideout’s doors had been closed to the public for several months, and the room had to be empty for this performance, save for the skeleton crew of sound engineers who captured the event. As Josh and his band recorded the album, the entire thing was live-streamed as a ticketed virtual concert. </p>
<p>The result was a high-quality rock show – raw, sweet, honest and cathartic. Harnessing the unique blend of punk energy and Sinatra-style sophistication that has made Caterer’s work with the Smoking Popes so enduring, The Hideout Sessions throws a surprising mix of musical ingredients into the power-pop blender, and what comes out is a truly satisfying and savory sonic experience. </p>
<p>Caterer first burst onto the Chicago punk scene in 1991 with Smoking Popes who he formed with his brothers Eli and Matt. From their early indie releases to their critically acclaimed major label albums, Smoking Popes developed a unique blend of buzzsaw guitars, caffeinated rhythms and heartfelt crooning vocals. During a band hiatus in the early aughts, Josh wrote and recorded music as a solo artist and with the pop-punk band Duvall which featured other Popes alumni. Reuniting in 2005, Smoking Popes released three more albums, the most recent being Into The Agony in 2018. Josh also released an album with the Blues outfit Jackson Mud Band along the way. </p>
<p>Life under the pandemic has forced many in the creative community to find ways of innovating around it. As Josh and his band recorded The Hideout Sessions, they created an event that was good for the band, good for the venue, and great for the fans. Here was Josh with a brand new band and a surprise-filled set list. They captured that unpredictability, that sense of “anything could happen,” that sits at the core of the live music experience. <a contents="Order the LP or CD here" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://pravdamusic.com/album/1873125/the-hideout-sessions">Order the LP or CD here</a><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/222167/ed9280a4af6d4993be4c7855f4f0f879ddb36ce0/original/pr6418-jcaterer-cover.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>Pravda Recordstag:www.pravdamusic.com,2005:Post/65523492021-02-17T18:00:00-06:002021-02-18T12:39:14-06:00Order the debut record from The Red Step now!<p>Infused with a sped up version of the Southern California sunshine noir heard from Tobias Nathaniel’s legendary band The Black Heart Procession, the dark and driving music of The Red Step crosses the Sava River and drifts over the concrete towers of Belgrade’s Blokovi districts like a gray cloud tinged by a smoky red sun. </p>
<p>Assembled in 2015 in Serbia’s capital city, The Red Step is a powerful gathering of notable Belgrade music figures: keyboardist Boris Eftovski, bassist Rudolf Cibulski, and drummer Vladimir Markoski, all hailing from the longstanding Serbian garage rock band Kazna za uši. Londoner Sarah Jane Seatherton also joins The Red Step on cello, and Tobias handles vocals and guitar.

Available on beautiful gatefold LP and CD, the new record will ship out now for the the Nov 13 worldwide release.</p>
<p>Another World took just over a year to complete from start to finish, as band members had to steal recording time from their respective busy schedules performing and touring with other projects. This is the way it’s been since the group began as a “musical snowball” in the mid-aughts.</p>
<p>The charms of this band are manifest. These guys are all about vocal harmony — five hardcore vocal buzz junkies — and they share a vast range of influences from The Free Design to The Three Degrees to Captain Beefheart and a restless desire to explore a song from the inside out: to see just how far out it’ll go. This sophomore album showcases The Flat Five’s trademark keen musicianship and their slightly subversive sense of humor.

Ryan And Pony is a brand-new project from two indie-rockers who have been kicking around the much-vaunted Minneapolis music scene for years. Their debut album Moshi Moshi was recorded at a variety of Minneapolis studios including Flight Simulator, Flowers, Master Mix, and The Kill Room with Ryan producing. <strong>Ryan Smith </strong>is a workaholic multi-instrumentalist who has been playing lead guitar in <strong>Soul Asylum</strong> since 2016. <strong>Pony</strong> is a flamboyant performer and artist raised by deaf parents. Together they have made numerous albums and toured internationally leading The Melismatics. On Moshi Moshi they fuse Dream-Pop, post-Punk, Brit-rock, EDM, and good ol' fashioned Rock ‘n’ Roll into a sound all their own; irony, weirdness, and melody are at its heart. Peter Anderson (The Ocean Blue, Run Westy Run, The Honeydogs) adds his killer drum skills to the mix. There are three levels of pre-orders. The vinyl version is on beautiful clear blue vinyl.

New single and video -"Drip a Drop" will be released August 7.<p><br>Pravda is thrilled to announce the signing of The Flat Five , Chicago’s beloved band of in-demand music biz ringers: Kelly Hogan and Nora O'Connor Kean (The Decemberists, Neko Case, Andrew Bird, Mavis Staples, Iron & Wine, Jakob Dylan) Scott Ligon and Casey McDonough (NRBQ, Brian Wilson) andAlex Hall (J.D. McPherson, Cactus Blossoms). </p>
<p>Their second album of twisted sunshine pop - Another World - comes out on (lucky!) Friday November 13th, 2020 on Pravda Records/Augiedisc Records. The album will be available on CD, LP, and all digital streaming platforms. </p>
<p>Hear the first single “Drip A Drop” tonight on The Big Beat with Ryan Arnold on 93XRT/Chicago at 11 PM CST. The single and video both release on all streaming platforms August 7th. </p>
<p>Another World was produced by band member Scott Ligon and The Flat Five and recorded/engineered by Flat Five drummer, Alex Hall, at his popular Chicago studio, Reliable Recorders. Additional sessions were engineered by Mark Greenberg at Wilco’s gearhead paradise, The Loft. </p>
<p>No doubt about it, The Flat Five’s focus is harmony. Hardcore junkies for a vocal buzz, they share a vast range of influences from The Free Design to The Three Degrees to Captain Beefheart. The charms of this band are manifest. From the laid-back simple to the oddly romantic to the slightly subversive, a heart of wide-eyed sweetness colors their music. </p>
<p>Buoyancy. <br>A bit of hope. <br>Things we need now more than ever. </p>
<p>Come November, we’ll all be ready for Another World.</p>

No one had a mobile phone. You had a phone in your apartment. A land line. And you had an answering machine, your most precious device. There were real live humans doing what they called telemarketing back then. Sometimes you'd get two or three calls in a single day. To an emerging phone pranks artist, this was precious raw material. </p>
<p>Recorded by Chicago drummer and songwriter Jason Batchko, these conversations have been making the rounds among phone prank connoisseurs, bootleg comedy fans, musicians in vans and hard-laughers everywhere for over 20 years. Just a man and his answering machine, trying to amuse, confuse and possess unsuspecting telemarketers, and creating a world of bizarre characters in the process: the kindly old woman who’s "just found out" she’s Jewish, The Shaolin Priest, Ms. Carton Boxx, the excitable weirdo with a poor grasp of the insurance industry, and Jonn ("jay-o-en-en!"). Telemarketers, they and many more were each so happy you called. Pick up the limited edition vinyl only release here.

Junior grew up in Akron, Ohio and moved to Chicago when he was 16. After stints in the Mystery Girls and the Rosehips, he collaborated with Epic Soundtracks and Nikki Sudden in England. When he returned to Chicago, he started the Chamber Strings. The Chicago-based band would cement his legacy as a striking and luminous talent. Junior was influenced by artists like Marc Bolan, Johnny Thunders, the Faces, and the Flamin' Groovies. Not nearly enough people got the chance to listen to the music Kevin Junior made during his short lifetime. Those that did will never forget what they heard. Considered a pop masterpiece in many circles, Gospel Morning was originally released in 1997. Pravda Records is proud to re-introduce this pop gem to the world on Vinyl, CD, and streaming platforms worldwide.

At long last, he’s made his debut album—and Grabbing the Blues By the Horns was well worth the wait.

The set also features the riveting vocals of Gerald McClendon, one of Vince’s longtime musical collaborators.

He worked with everybody, saw it all and had a presence that was hard to describe. He will be missed, but thankfully, his music lives on. His last recording on Pravda is appropriately titled "Don't Ever Give Up".</p>
