As their record releases loom, Ad Frank & the Fast Easy Women and Great Lakes Myth Society are hitting the road to bring the music to all you good people.

Ad brings his wily band out of the New England area for the first time in a while on a jaunt that will be bringing them to new cities along with trusted stomping grounds. It all gets started March 12th at The Brass Rail in New London, CT. Check out the tour page for details.

We here at Stop, Pop, and Roll are very excited about our spring lineup of releases. And now, as promised, we present to you three exclusive tunes - one from each artist. They are streaming for now, but we will be making free MP3s available as the release dates near.

Here's a sneak peek at Stop, Pop, and Roll's new release schedule for Spring 2005. Check back on February 1 for some exclusive MP3 previews!

	Great Lakes Myth Society Out March 29 5 young men from Ann Arbor, MI with a shared love of passionate, timeless music and the legends of the land in which they were raised come together and share with us 15 elegaic songs of love, hope, bravery, loss, and of course, death.
	Ad Frank Is the World's Best Ex Boyfriend Out April 12 Ad's third album for Stop, Pop, and Roll mixes up all the best aspects of Mr. Fancypants with the precise new-wave fueled pop of In Girl Trouble, resulting in arguably his finest album yet.
	Rooftop Suicide Club, Always Like This Out May 17 The first album from New Bedford, MA's finest features a diverse mix of indie rock aesthetics, Big Star-worthy hooks, and a touch of 8-track era nostalgia. It's bound to be one of the most talked-about debuts to hit stores in a long, long time.

• Season's Greetings from Stop, Pop, and Roll! We've had a very busy fall, so the gifts will be a little bit late this time around, but well worth the wait. But, looking back on 2004, we're pleased to announce that SP&R artists, and indeed the label itself, are up for nominations in Boston's Noise Poll. Kindly head over and consider a vote for Paula Kelley (& orchestra member Angie Shyr), Fast Easy Woman Eric Donohue, and Stop, Pop, and Roll!
• Early 2005 will see releases from Great Lakes Myth Society, Ad Frank & the Fast Easy Women, and Rooftop Suicide Club! Ad's fourth solo album is his strongest to date, bringing together the dark cynicism of Mr. Fancypants with the high-tech pop of the Fast Easy Women. The highly-anticpated debuts from great Lakes Myth Society and Rooftop Suicide Club herald a new era for us, as we welcome our first bands to the label (previously we have only released albums from solo artists). Check out each of their pages on our site and then click over to their own sites for more. We're thrilled about all these releases and will be posting some teasers and more information in the coming weeks.
