If you’re the kind of person who associates closely with bears and other hibernating animals, why not hunker in your bunker on December 16th and get your download on. The Reason and Passenger Action have something for you just in time for the holidays – new EPs! The Reason’s “The Brilliant Disguise EP” and “The Acoustic Blueprints EP” from Passenger Action will be available for digital download on December 16th. They make the perfect gift for that loved one when you can’t find the guts (or sweater) to leave the house. But you should probably check it out regardless of your hibernation situation. You cannot find these in stores - order now! ...well actually, December 16th. Get into it.

Sights & Sounds is ready to shock and awe! With their new album, that is. Set for release in early 2009, the album was recorded by the wonderful Devin Townsend in beautiful British Columbia. S&S have been posting mad video updates from the studio at http://www.myspace.com/sightsandsounds. Things are sounding good, and the Kanye West inspired dance moves are looking swell.
Well that’s about all the witty banter I can spare today, but please check out http://www.smallmanrecords.com for all SMR-related news, announcements and tour dates. We have an exceptionally rad 2009 coming up, so get thrilled.
