The band continue to ignore the lure of lucre and bright lights and remain steadfastly in Sunderland, opening their own record store in the city’s redundant Tourist Office bringing much heralded impetus to the creative heart of Sunderland and it’s many like-minded souls. Amongst the artist who have supported their venture and played recently are The Vaccines, Franz Ferdinand and James Bay.
‘Decency’ follows 2013’s ‘The Days Run Away’ and sees the band continue their uncanny knack for conjuring up moments of introspective beauty whilst encapsulating the band’s ideals, both socially and politically. The pop suss that flowed through previous releases still reigns but ‘Decency’ embellishes those hooks and melodies creating some of the band’s best work to date.
Recorded at the tail end of last summer at Leeds’ Suburban Homes studio with MJ (Hookworms) at the controls, ‘Decency ‘ also sees Futurehead Ross Millard on extra-curricular duty with guitar and vocal artistry making his recording debut as a fully-fledged Heartstring.
Meanwhile, Frankie & The Heartstrings embark on their first major shows of 2015 with shows throughout May …

Vemod from Trondheim/Norway are one of the most promising and visionary bands of the vibrant and eclectic contemporary metal underground and already made quite an impact in well-informed circles. Combining such diverse influences as Ulver, Dead Can Dance, Brian Eno and Paysage d'Hiver, the three musicians pursue a unique musical and aesthetical approach, thus reaching a distinct expression and atmosphere at an early stage of their career. This is showcased imposingly on their debut album "Venter På Stormene" (2012) and their few select live appearances throughout the years.
Therefore, we are very happy to welcome Vemod to the Prophecy Productions roster and accompany the band's further efforts - not only with respect to their second album, which Vemod are diligently working on at the moment, but also their upcoming live performance at Prophecy Fest in September!
J. E. Åsli on the signing: "Prophecy Productions is the ideal partner for Vemod in our pursuit and further exploration of the vast world that is atmospheric music. As we seem to share a very similar approach to music, art and aesthetics, we are both humbled and honoured to become part of such a high quality roster. This marks the beginning of a new and very exciting phase in our existence; we look forward to working on our next album as well as any other projects that may be appearing on the horizon. Let it all unfold..."
THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON ARRIVES ON DVD 11th MAY 2015 Following the success of their most recent foreign language TV drama titles, notably Gommorah and The Legacy, Arrow Films will continue to house quality international crime thriller shows from various European territories and beyond, under their newly launched sub-label ‘Noir’.
These new releases will continue with the arrival of the second season of Fogs and Crimes, on DVD 11th May 2015, following the release of the first series last October, which will sit amongst other Italian crime dramas such as Inspector De Luca and Inspector Nardone. A passion for solving difficult cases makes Franco Soneri the best investigator in Ferrara, Italy - but it also makes him a hard man to manage. He's brusque and irascible, but he and his team manage to uncover what others might prefer to keep hidden. Cases from season two include two senior citizens found in their car at the bottom of the River Po, a body of a woman washed up onto its banks, a hit-and-run fatality, the brutal killing of a prostitute, a murdered teenage girl and a high-profile attorney found dead in his apartment. Filmed on location in the atmospheric countryside of northern Italy, these mysteries are based on the characters from the bestselling crime novels by Valerio Varesi.

After the success of Filter's "Happy Together" becoming an official trailer song for The Great Gatsby, the Filter camp put together a private showcase for music executives in the film industry at Swinghouse Studios, Los Angeles in early 2014. Richard asked longtime friend and video publicity director, David Kinsler, to capture the performance. After the event, the production team got the green light to support the live performance with a short film which was shot in the Fall of 2014. Filter is finally proud to present, the short film/video for "Happy Together," dedicated to all the band members, past and present, may we always be - Happy Together.
