The new full length from Sylvie will be out in Canada on October 21. It features 11 new songs from the band and was recorded with JRobbins. Can’t wait ‘til then? Take your head out of the oven, cuz we’ve got The Fences EP available on September 30. This is a digital EP available exclusively from iTunes, and features 2 songs from the upcoming full length in addition to one un-released track from that recording session, and a live version of Common Art. Hot damn! And savvy shopper that you are, you’ll know that you won’t be charged twice for the songs that are on the EP and the full length, as those money loving folks at iTunes won’t charge you twice when you upload the full album on October 21. Still not sold? Go to http://www.myspace.com/smallmanrecords to give a listen to the first song from the EP and Full length - Please Make It Home.

Smallman Records is excited to announce the Canadian release of Bury Me At Sea, the debut album from Grave Maker, on October 14th, 2008.
Grave Maker came together in Vancouver, BC in 2007. Since that time, they have played well over a hundred shows across North and South America, as well as extensive tours of Mexico and Costa Rica. During that period they were also able to find the time to write and record their debut album Bury Me At Sea.
Bury Me At Sea was produced by Roger Camero (The Warriors, No Motiv) and features guests such as Andrew Neufeld of Comeback Kid and Rick Jimenez of This is Hell and Soldiers. The twelve heavy tracks that comprise the album are given life through the intricate drumming and punishing bass lines that are weaved through each song. Impassioned lyrics and the powerful voice of singer Jon McRae give Bury Me At Sea a unique and authentic sound.
Grave Maker will be joining Comeback Kid for their entire Canadian tour along side support bands Bane, Misery Signals, Outbreak and Shai Hulud. Grave Maker’s debut full length, Bury Me At Sea, will be unleashed in Canada on October 14th, 2008 on Smallman Records.
