Expect Candy News

The debut full length by Arms And Sleepers is now available on vinyl as well. It comes as a double LP in a gatefold cover and has 2 songs more than the CD. It's a limited one-time pressing of 500 copies and won't be distributed in Europe, but we have some copies. You can order direct from us:

GERMANY - 19 Euro incl. shipping

EUROPE - 21 Euro incl. shipping

The limited Make Believe 12" is coming out on October 10th - you can already preorder it on the release website.

While the Amanda Rogers album is still getting lots of press and airplay our next release is already coming out in about a month. With our dear friends at Coraille we'll do a re-press of the first Make Believe EP - on vinyl! So far it was only available on vinyl with a print run of 250 copies which were sold out immediately. Now another limited edition of 500 copies has been made, and to make it even better it comes with a bonus song (6 songs in total). The record will be out on October 10th, preorder will start soon.

Today is not only the release date of Amanda's new album, a feature on her collaboration with the german department of Peta2 was published today, too! As you probably know already veganism and animal rights are topics that Amanda has a strong opinion about. You can check out the nice interview here (sorry, in german only).
There's some stuff to win as well, and you're probably curious about the ad Amanda did for Peta2 anyway.
Thanks to the nice folks at Peta2 for making this happen!

Finally..."Heartwood" is officially released in Europe tomorrow. Besides the usual sources (shops, mailorders, Amazon, itunes etc.) you can also order the record through our website from tomorrow on.
The first order through the Expect Candy website (the order option can be found on the "Heartwood" release website) will receive a free signed 2007 Amanda Rogers Euro tour poster (folded) along with the order. Just a nice little thing to give away - we know you'll order the record anyway. ;-)

Arms and Sleepers are going to the UK for an impressive tour in late September. Check out the Dates section for more information.

Furthermore the double vinyl version of the bands current album Black Paris 86 is released in September.

The official release date for Amanda Rogers' new album "Heartwood" has been set now: In Europe the album will be available on CD and LP as well as in digital format from August 8th on.

More releases are in the works, news on this soon!

We're very excited to announce that we'll release Amanda Rogers' long awaited new album! "Heartwood" is going to be released on CD and vinyl and also in digital format in late July finally. After several delays everything is set now, and we can assure you that the new album is absolutely amazing.

Starting May 15th Amanda is also back on tour in Europe, for the first time with a full band behind her.

The local campus radio station Hertz 87.9 did an interview with Chris Leo when Vague Angels played in Bielefeld last December. The show containing the interview and music by Vague Angels airs this Sunday at 12 PM CET. You can listen to it here: Radio Hertz 87.9

Arms and Sleepers finished their first European tour last week. The tour went very well, and both Birthmark and Arms and Sleepers had a good time.

The order function for both records we released so far works now, so if you had problems before you can easily place your order now.

Furthermore there is an eCard for "Black Paris 86" now - check it out here

Take care

Good news: Our releases will be available in digital format (MP3 etc.) from now on. The Vague Angels album will be digitally released on June 22nd, and should be available from most platforms from this date on. You'll definately get it in the online shop of our digital distributor:
www.finetunes.de
All future releases will be available in digital format at the same time as the hardcopy version.

Welcome to our new website. Well, in fact it's still under construction, but it already looks a lot better than the first temporary website, doesn't it? The full website will be online some time during summer. We hope you'll like the design as much as we do! A big thanks to Arne @ Guerillamedia.org.

Next week our first release, the first album by Vague Angels from NYC called "Truth Loved", sees the light of day in some countries already. The main release date is April 27th though, and the UK has to wait even a bit longer (May 14th).

More releases are planned: albums by Arms And Sleepers and Allie Total Blam Blam. More on these records later on.

Cheers
Mira & Niels
