We just released a new single by Philadelphia’s Oh! Pears called Under the Olive Trees. We’re very excited to be part of this. The brainchild of Oh! Pears is Corey Duncan, ex-guitarist of Pattern Is Movement, and the single is produced by Kurt Vile-producer Jeff Zeigler who also worked with The War on Drugs. Wow, we just namedropped some of our favourite bands!

Dad Rocks is getting a lot of praise out there. The nice people at EyeSeeSound recently featured our video for ‘Nothing Keeps up’ next to artists such as Warpaint and Melodica, Melody and Me. Click the logo to see it!

Yo yo yo. Big news!

We’re proud to present our latest addition to the roster: Olympic Symphonium.

We loved the music from first listen, and we think you will too!

It’s Canadian chamber folk at its best. It’s multi-instrumentalists and great songwriters. It’s warm and nice in these cold cold times.

Now!

A big bunch of thank you’s to the young guns from Elefanatic, who offered their gear for the show, and only got to play 4 songs because of lousy organizers’ agreements.

A very big thank you to the very cool dudes from Battle Bosanova, who came all the way from Copenhagen and shared their magic with the rest of us.

And a thank you to the rest of the bands, who all did their part in making the night über cool and almost unforgettable:

Sincerely yours, Mr. Kanel

The releases on Kanel Records will now be distributed physically through the wonderful people at Labelkollektiv!

Hi! News from Balkan Bastards Klepti Klepti…

We were in Gammel Harlev Studios this weekend, recording a 10″ with Klepti Klepti.

It’s gonna be great! Expected release in.. let’s say August!

Hi Friends. Dad Rocks! just came back from the Gym where he made this. Enjoy.

Everybody’s welcome this thursday (this is mostly for da Danes..). It’s from 20 to 01 at “Salon Salon” in Vestergade, Aarhus. Swing by and have a ball! Cheers.

Yeahz! 1 out of 3 bands were chosen – Klepti Klepti will hit Start! festival in Copenhagen – it’s June 12, 03 AM @ the “øks 2″ scene!

April 16 and 17 – Klepti Klepti will hit Ideal Bar and Huset i Magstræde in Copenhagen, for two late night shows.

This is a great opportunity to experience the energetic balkanband before they become absorbed by the infamous record industry… Muaha ha ha ha!!

The ‘digital age’ EP is in store, and you can order it right here, right now!

It will be sold OTC @ ‘badstue rock’ in Aarhus.

Otherwise, you can buy it digitally (in this digital age) @ Itunes (click here), or @ play.com (click here)…

Things have been a little secretive lately, but here’s what’s been going on:

- The Digital Age EPs are being shipped to Denmark from England right now! Right now! Pre-order through our shop. We might throw a little party in Aarhus next week where you might be able to purchase the little wonder…

MP3: Dad Rocks! – Aroused By Hair

Just as you thought we were only able to write about Dad Rocks!, we have some news about our Eastern European fanatics Klepti Klepti. They’ll hit the studio in the end of April to record their highly anticipated and very first official release.

The Digital Age EP by Dad Rocks! has been sent to England today where it’ll be turned into beautiful stacks of beautiful CDs with beautiful music.

We’re very much looking forward to letting you hear the songs! The official release date will be April 12th, and you’ll be able to buy it both digitally and as a beautiful WowWallet CD. We will soon put some songs up for streaming and perhaps one or two for free download.

Last summer, the English music/film/art website The 405 filmed Snævar AKA Dad Rocks! playing an acoustic version of the song Nothing Keeps Up. The song will be on the debut EP that’ll be out on Kanel Records in a couple of months. Watch the video, listen to the music, and enjoy the summer feeling of the video. Watch it here.

In other news, our garage pop outfit Glow Kit will be in the studio this weekend. Even more to look forward to.

We have recorded the first Dad Rocks! EP in ‘Gl. Harlev Studios’. All analog equipment.

Everything went well; we had a great time in the studio – cooking, cosiness, tape-problems, Naked Gun (1 AND 2) and then of course the recording of music – which also went well!

Photo slideshow

…
The EP will be finished in February and released on CD (WowWallet) and as mp3 download.

Dad Rocks! will be in the studio next weekend. We’ll be recording an EP expected to be released sometime in the spring.

There will be something to look forward to.

Welcome to Kanel!
