    The Subtle Way News
    It seems like an eternity, but The Subtle Way are back from their monstrous 6 week full US Tour. The guys were able to meet new friends from every nook and cranny of this great nation and their newfound fans were truly blown away by their insane live show. T-Sway was fortunate enough to play with the likes of Dilinger Escape Plan, A Skylit Drive, Sky Eats Airplane, Breathe Carolina, Emarosa, A Day To Remember, Mae, Hit the Lights and a bunch of rad regional and local bands. Thanks to all of the promoters who put on shows and to all the kids who bought CDs and merch.

    The Subtle Way News
    The Subtle Way will be recording at The Compound in Santa Cruz from June 16-20. Their mission is to record 2 brand new songs and 1 kick ass cover song for a summer digital/vinyl release. Yes, you heard it right. Vinyl isn't common for this style but that makes it that much more special. We will be pressing a limited number of colored vinyl with unique splatters and stuff. Not sure how many colors yet, but there will be a few. The vinyl version will be a collectors item as we are only making 250, so when The Subtle Way get big you can make a fortune on eBay. These songs will be available digitally on iTunes but everyone who buys the vinyl version will also get a digital version for free!

    Apr 15, 2008 - On the road again
    The Subtle Way News
    The Subtle Way will be going on a full US Tour from July 1-August 28th (with a small break in the middle). Although The Subtle Way has been all over the southern half of these great United States, this will be their first visit to the East Coast, the Midwest and the Pacific NorthWest! So for all you kids that have only heard how awesome TSW is live, now you get a chance to see it for yourself. Tell all of your friends and make it a party! And as an added bonus The Subtle Way will be bringing along one or two great regional bands with them to every show. Not only do you get to mosh to TSway, but you learn about some rad bands from your own neighborhood. For all of you too young to know, local bands are good too!

    Apr 5, 2008 - We're Down For Down For The Count
    General News
    At loooooong last, we have signed a new band called Down For The Count from Los Angeles. D4TC has had a long relationship with NPR for the past couple years and we thought that it was the right time to team up and take this great band to pop-punk powerhouse status. These guys have toured on their own a number of times and even busted ass following Warped Tour last summer which takes endurance that most people don't have. If you believe we have an ear to find some of the best pop-punk bands around (i.e. Over It, The June Spirit, The Progress, The Goodwill, etc.), D4TC rightfully take their place in that line-up and will far exceed the success of any of our previous bands. Check em out at http://www.myspace.com/down4thecount

    The Subtle Way News

The Subtle Way has consistently been ranked in the top 5 screamo bands and top 30 metal bands in California on myspace which is awesome. Keep telling your friends and let's boost those numbers even more.

    March 1, 2008 - Super Streaming
    General News
    In hopes of spreading the word about our back catalog, every record we have ever released is now streaming on our website (in the bands section)! Yes, you are not seeing things. And yes, this is an unprecedented thing for a label to do. We are still selling CDs at a low price and all of these tracks are for sale in digital form on iTunes, BUT we figured a good way to get people excited about our older releases was to make it extremely easy to check them out. Over the past 10 years, NPR has made an effort to put out quality releases by some of the best small bands in America and we are even told that many of these releases got people through some tough times and had a large impact on their lives. That being said, the music created by these bands deserves to live on and not fall into obscurity so please take the time to listen to a couple songs, after all, it's free.

    NPR was in the house last night at the Knitting Factory in NYC for the I am The Avalanche/Four Year Strong/Daggermouth show. Daggermouth was amazing. Vocals were tight, drumming was super good.

Never fear, NPR releases will still be available to all the people who want to get them.

    Sept 3, 2007 - Live appearance
    General News
    NPR was in attendance at the Just Surrender CD release show at the Knitting Factory in NYC this weekend. Holy crap, this band is awesome live. If you get a chance to see them, do it. There are so many mediocre bands with mediocre live shows, it is like a breath of fresh air to see a band that is great and you can tell is honestly playing their hearts out. Also make sure to pick out their new CD "We're in like Sin." Alex (formerly of Park) has definitely added a lot to this band on guitar!

    Deathwish News
    Our friends at Deathwish Inc. have launched a brand new 108 player with 3 SCORCHING new tunes by the krishna-core legends. Rob Fish's vocals are some of the most brutal in existence. Most metal-core vocalist's don't have as much sincerity and tortuous rage in their entire bodies as Rob has in his pinky. And, the man, the myth, the legendary guitar of Vic Dicara (x-Inside Out, Shelter, Beyond, Burn) is still creating melodies that cut like a knife and riffs that pound like a sledgehammer. If you are a new jack, think The Hope Conspiracy with a bit more groove. Get pummeled.

    Apr 25, 2007 - Wild Wild West
    NPR News
    NPR is proud to announce our affiliation with what we affectionately call "Marc Debiak's Army." Marc is the general manager of Eyeball Records who has gathered a group of independent labels to work together in combating the scourge of internet pirates stealing our songs. This basically entails contacting bloggers who have so kindly put links to illegally download dozens of titles. While some may believe it helps the band to spread their music in this way, hurting the label will only hurt the band, as most do not have the funds to properly record and promote their own music. We, as independent labels, are hit hardest as most of our companies are run by one or two people without any kind of salary (i.e. all of the label earnings go back into the company), that work second and sometimes third jobs to do what we love.

    Apr 22, 2007 - NPR loves Circa Survive
    Equal Vision News
    Circa Survive has a new album called "On Letting Go" coming out on May 29th via Equal Vision Records and to celebrate, they are streaming a brand new song on their myspace called "The Difference Between Medicine and Poison is in the Dose." EVR has been long admired over here and we completely support their efforts to break rad new bands into the public eye.

    NPR recently took in Circa on the latest Alternative Press tour and they were really incredible. More bands need to include visual art in their stage performance, Circa had a video projection which added to their show. If this song is any indication of the entire new album, it is a must buy.
