Crowbar DVD Release Date Set

Candlelight Records has uploaded the new video from Crowbar to its official My Space page (in the video section). "Slave No More" will be featured on the band's forthcoming DVD, Live: With Full Force, in stores January 23. Filmed at the popular German open air festival of the same name, Live: With Full Force was captured on Crowbar’s world tour supporting their 2005 release, Lifesblood for the Downtrodden. The live performance DVD also includes candid backstage footage plus the band’s second (and previously unavailable) promotional video for Lifesblood for the Downtrodden album track “Slave No More.”

It goes without saying the scope of contributions and merits Crowbar have had on the heavy music scene since their formation over a decade ago. Originally noted as a cross-mix of Pantera and The Melvins, later dubbed sludge metal/core, Crowbar pioneered the genre’s early sound and today continue to push its boundaries with experimentation and endless determination. To date their US soundscan history approaching a quarter of a million units.

Crowbar are planning a series of dates in 2007 while continuing work on new material for their next album expected early 2008. Crowbar's latest album Lifesblood for the Downtrodden is in stores now.

"hey kids, there are THREE, count em, THREE new Pop Monster releases up for Pre-Order right now."

PMR08: Blanket Paintings "Lo-Fi For Life" Cassplit
awesome tweepop from Watercolor Paintings and Blanket Truth from Santa Barbara, CA. those west coast kids really know how to party.

PMR09: Blanket Paintings "Lo-Fi Sellouts" Cassplit
same split, but re-done in hi-fi quality. for kids who want the indie cred of cassette, but hate not being able to hear a goddamn thing.

PMR10: Super Famicom/Milly Geronimo "Bells" Split [CDr]

this wonderful pair of kids is back with beautiful folk/pop that would make sonny and cher feel stoic. expect guitars, synths, beautiful voices, and every timbre of awesomeness.
