Kindercore Records releasing XMas 3: The War On Christmas!

Kindercore is back hardcore! Not only are they releasing the new King of Prussia album (which is spectacular BTW) they will also be releasing their new 19 track Christmas comp "XMas 3: The War On Christmas!". This is no ordinary Christmas comp: it not only features a 19 track CD featuring Kindercore bands and others, but it comes packed in a "color comic with a mix of holiday-themed mayhem and sweetness"! OMG! The CD/comic is limited to 100 copies, which will only be available via Kindercore's website for $10. The music and comics will also be available from the iTunes store in a few days, but this is the only place to pick up the limited edition physical version.

"100% percent of the profits from this release (both the physical and digital versions) will be donated to Oxfam to help out unfortunate folks around the world - geek out for charity this XMAS! Let the War begin!"

It's So Good To Have Kindercore Records Back...

Kindercore Records has hit the ground running since the news it was rising from the dead earlier this year. First off, it's first official release since the rebirth is the debut album from King of Prussia, "Save the Scene" (Jan. 29, 2008) which is everything I've come to expect from this amazing label...which is to say it's awesome!!! Throwback 60's mod-pop in the vein of The Who, The Beatles, Belle and Sebastian and Small Faces and it's lush, sparkling, wonderfulness just leaves you wanting more. This mini-LP is hopefully just the beginning of a long lustrous career for this Athens, GA band.

Kindercore-owner Dan Geller, whose new band Ruby Isle just released a cover of Hello, Blue Roses' "Shadow Falls", before the original has even hit the shelves (Hello, Blue Roses is the new side-project from Dan Bejar from Destroyer, New Pornographers). Here's what Dan had to say about why they chose this song: "Last Friday, Ruby Isle was in the middle of recording our new record and were looking for some inspiration so we decided to take whatever track was number one on elbo.ws and cover it." That's as good a reason as any, so here you go. Check out Ruby Isle's Myspace for more synth-poppy good times.
