Hope Volume 1

Finally, the release of the first volume of Project Hope is upon us! 15 amazing (and equally diverse) artists from around the world have contributed their music to this endeavor, and we are grateful to have worked with each of them. You can get your own digital copy of Hope Volume 1 at http://projecthope.bandcamp.com for only $10, and every dime that Treeship Records profits from its sale will go directly to the charities that we sponsor.  You can easily link from this page directly to the artists who have participated in this, and we encourage you to support the ones that you like best.  Tell your friends, your neighbors, your mom, and your boss that music can change the world, and so can they, just by giving this music a chance to inspire them.

Pre-order AS-IF’s Debut EP

Like, OMG!  AS-IF (www.myspace.com/asif80s) is quite possibly the coolest cover band, like, ever.  Their pop-punk spin on 80s hits makes all your favorite songs new again, and a hell of a lot more fun.  Mia belts out the lyrics you know and love at the top of her lungs, Mackie delivers the goods with face melting guitar shredding, and Chris and Will hold it down with drum and bass rhythms you can’t help but dance to.  Their rad-ass debut EP “Weekend at Ernie’s (Get to the Choppah!)” drops March 23rd, but you don’t have to wait until then!  Click here to listen to the songs and pre-order your own copy of the CD, and you can download all 5 tracks (plus an exclusive bonus track) immediately.  On your iPod today, and on CD later!  We’re even sending a limited edition vinyl sticker out with each and every pre-order, so like, get on it.

John O’Lalde’s “Equilibrium” Out Soon!

Mastering of John O’Lalde’s debut full length album “Equilibrium” is underway, and we couldn’t be more excited. The follow-up to his EP release “Highway to Anywhere”, “Equilibrium” sets the bar for guitar instrumentals to a new high, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Until then, you can listen to and download “Highway to Anywhere” at http://johnolalde.bandcamp.com. Rock on!

Agent Mooshead Signs With Treeship Records

After hearing their debut release, Treeship Records has teamed up with Agent Moosehead to release “Neil, Throw The Switch!” worldwide. This fantastic album defies description and breaks boundaries; no one genre can encompass the diversity of this band. You can get the music on iTunes and Amazon, or you can buy the CD direct from Treeship Records here and get the digital download version free while you wait for the CD to arrive at your doorstep!  There is also a lot of great official merch for Agent Moosehead now available at Treeship Records’ online merch booth.  All profits from the sale of this album (as with all of our releases) will benefit the charities that we support.  To say that these guys are worth a listen is surely the understatement of the decade; you need to go listen to this music NOW. 

Kalabi’s “Tone Poems” CD Now Available

Kalabi’s debut album with Treeship Records, “Tone Poems”, is now available on CD at http://kalabi.bandcamp.com and via the Treeship Records Facebook page!  This is an amazing addition to Treeship Records’ growing catalogue; ambient sounds and trip-hop beats meld together for a sound that is as unique as it is relaxing.  You can stream the album in full on our Facebook page, and even add the music to your profile to share with friends.  You can also visit Kalabi’s profile on MySpace to hear more music from this amazing artist, and to drop a comment about the album.

Agent Moosehead Donate “Nightmare Land”

Got your attention? The name got ours, too, but that was just the beginning. If you’re thinking you’ll have a hard time forgetting their name, their Zappa and Classic NES influenced flavor of instrumental jazz/rock is bound to reinforce that notion. If only one word were allowed in describing their sound, “unpredictable” would be high on the list of possibilities. Stunning musicianship combines with inventive arrangements to create music that is simply indescribable; you simply have to experience it for yourself. Visit www.myspace.com/agentmoosehead to do just that.

We’re proud to have Agent Moosehead involved with Project Hope, and we hope that find their unique twist on jazz and rock to be as refreshing as we do. Download “Nightmare Land” (a great cover of a Nintendo classic) for free at www.gimmesound.com/hope, as well as browse (and download for free) music from all of the other artists who have contributed to Project Hope so far.

“Army Unicorns” Hits Digital Shelves

Treeship Records is proud to announce the digital release of “Army Unicorns” exclusively at the Seti Alpha 5 online store, http://setialpha5.bandcamp.com.  Seti Alpha 5 has taken a slight (yet notable) change of direction with their second album; their sound is denser and more complex than their debut release, and yet they manage to retain the same “feel” that they established with 2008′s “Mountains in the Sun”.

Treeship Records: “Was it your intention for ‘Army Unicorns’ to have a sound different from that of ‘Mountains in the Sun’?”

Seti Alpha 5:  “It wasn’t really an intentional departure from the sound of our first album, but more of a natural progression forward.  Rather than thinking too hard about it, we just made the music that felt right, and if anything, ‘Army Unicorns’ is a statement about where we are right now, not where we’ve been or where we’re going.  It’s about capturing a moment in time, and giving that moment eternal life through music.”

RadioStar SF Donate “Space Wolf”

“Space Wolf” is catchy as hell.  Shredding leads, a sing-along chorus, and a little mix of punk and metal, and you end up with a great song bound to be stuck in our heads for days!  Hop over to www.RadioStarSF.com to learn more about this awesome band.  We’re really proud to have them on board; their raw punk sound adds a new variety to Project Hope, and is a great addition to our growing family of artists who are doing something great with their music to make a difference.

Taunting the mainstream for fun and profit since 2002, RadioStar SF is proud to unleash their smoking new CD ‘Skulls, Stars, and Guitars’: a more focused, even harder rocking album than their now classic debut disc ‘Greatest Hits Volume 1′.

Seti Alpha 5 to release “Army Unicorns”

Seti Alpha 5 is releasing their second album “Army Unicorns” on December 28th, and they’re giving away a song “in the spirit of the holiday season” via their website, www.seti-alpha5.com!  “On a Trampoline” is the name of the song, and while they refuse to tell us what it’s about, there is no doubt that they have made a slight change in musical direction for this album.  It’s hard to decide what genre to put “Army Unicorns” in; at one moment, the percussion builds to a crescendo with organs and synthesizers going full blast, and the next, it’s as if the music is from another world altogether.  Go check it out for yourself, be sure to grab a copy when it hits digital shelves December 28th.

Dynamo and BadNutBeats Donate Song

“Taking shape from beyond the shadows, Dynamo & BadNutBeats appear faceless, glowing white atop the black-lit stage. These beings are not quite like us, but rest assured they have our delight solely in mind. As the music begins to build, this ominous introduction will give way to a sonic journey through refined soundscapes and inspired showmanship. Strengthened by a vast performance history and an eclectic collision of influences, the duo offers an experience like no other.

As curiosity draws you into the dimension Dynamo & BadNutBeats create, you will absorb the harmony and wonder of these faceless personalities. Don’t get too comfortable, however, as you can always count on the conjurers to challenge as they entertain. Sight and sound will converge into a gloriously unique spectacle, making you hungry for more.

Buy a copy of their debut album, Gonzo, and stay tuned as Dynamo & BadNutBeats prepare to infiltrate live music venues everywhere…”

We are proud to include “Meditation III” amongst all of the great music that has been donated to Project Hope to date.  Visit our profile on GimmeSound to download this track for free, and visit Dynamo & BadNutBeats on CDBaby to get a copy of their fantastic debut, Gonzo!  

The most refreshing thing about this duo is their live performance…check this out!
