Backstage Pass: Retro Edition – Episode 2

On August 7, 2007 I interviewed Chuck Daley about Deep Elm Records. At the time he was the “Promotional Director” for Deep Elm Records and I remember being pretty nervous leading up to this discussion. As you’ll hear, I had some technical difficulties and the audio quality of the conversation was a bit rough.

Chuck now runs Beartrap PR, a PR firm that handles a lot of bands on the East Coast. They provide about 75% of the tunes you hear on each week’s show. If you’re in a band and need someone to handle your PR…Chuck and Will over at Beartrap PR are your guys. They also run a record label, Tiny Engines. Check out ALL their bands. Great stuff.

Deep Elm Records releases video for Our Lost Infantry

Deep Elm Records has released a video for “All The Streetlights Of My Hometown” by progressive post-rock quartet OUR LOST INFANTRY from Aldershot, England. The video was shot in the Blefell Mountains in Telemark, Norway by director Jonas Grimeland.

“The band’s grand scheme was to create a near 40 minute piece of music made up of nine linked, perfectly flowing parts…in essence creating the world’s first post-rock opera.  It has strong leanings towards post-rock with layered vocals, gutsy riffs and fearless choruses. They created something astoundingly special, genuinely unique and unquestionably epic” says label founder John Szuch. Deep Elm will release the band’s stunning 9 track debut “The New Art History” worldwide on November 14, 2012.
