FFR’s First Country Artist! Gary Allan Joins the Widget Family!
It�s raw and emotional. It�s freight-train-to-nowhere lonely. It�s hard-rockin�, no-apologies country music that has traded in its twang for a gravelly growl millions of fans recognize as the voice of Gary Allan. And with LIVING HARD, his latest release from MCA Nashville, Allan once again proves that, though times may change, the thread of truth at the center of his music remains the same.

AS I LAY DYING…. I want a widget!
The members of AS I LAY DYING are the kind of musicians that refuse to be measured solely by their most recent accomplishments. The new album, An Ocean Between Us, is evidence of this fact, proving once again that these guys are not afraid to push the limits of their sound and always keep things moving. The music grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go until the album’s finish. Building upon the foundation that AILD has laid over the past several years, growing from a small San Diego outfit slowly and deliberately into a priority national act, the band has become Metal Blade Records’ biggest sellers with an extremely devoted following. AS I LAY DYING has the goods to take it all the way and stake their claim as the metal band “you need to know about” in 2007 and beyond.
Check out AILD’s MySpace for more info on the band! You can also play their widget on FFR! Like AILD’s sound? Check out more artists from Metal Blade Records!

2 Small Named, Big Hearted Hardcore Widgets – The Forgotten Archetype and Low On Air
The Forgotten Archetype
The Forgotten Archetype is a band from Beaverton, OR. There’s only two members in the band and they just got together in early 2007. All of their tracks are self produced on the computer. Ben and Nik continue to create unique experimental pieces daily. They’re trying to work up the money to afford a live show, so keep checking in on them. They’ve released an 8 track, self titled album available for download on their MySpace, and other than trying to play live, TFA’s only goal right now is to get their music out there as much as possible.

Low On Air
These guys are young but don’t let their age fool you! Ranging from 16 to 18 years old, these guys have been in the game for over 2 years now, playing anything from parties to huge shows with 500+ people in attendance. Formed in July 2005, Low On Air began as a group of kids just looking to have fun in their garage and maybe play in front of some friends from time to time, but their style and aggression toward their music quickly progressed into the fast pace and energetic mix of hardcore, experimental, and death metal you hear today. Just this past July, Low On Air self released their first 5 Track EP recorded at Foundation Studios under the producer Joey Stergis. Their fan base quickly increased with their new and better recordings along with over a 200% increase in profile plays every day on their myspace. They currently have plans to return to the studio in June of 2008 for 8 days to record and release their first full length CD. This 5 member band is looking to do bigger and better thing in their very near future. With the recent purchase of a Tour van and working with a tailor, Low On Air is looking forward to a very busy spring and summer schedule. Keep on the look out for these guys because they are sure to be in a town near you in the up coming months.

I know you have been hearing alot about widgets, but they are opening so many new doors for FFR. This is just another chapter in FFR’s life that we here get to experience. These widgets are huge. As we continue to release new widgets, you will see the diversity grow. You would not believe the success and growth we are seeing on this end with our contacts at record labels. Sorry, I’ll try to keep this short, seeing as this is the longest news announcement about widgets as of yet.
Over the last week, we have had a tremendous amount of widgets go up. I’m just gonna give you a quick rundown of the widgets we have seen go up.

Wheatus
You may not remember the band off the top of your head, but they had one hit song called “Teenage Dirtbag” that you all have probably heard in a movie or tv show at some point in your life. This band was originally signed to a large label, but they hated them and decided to buy back their music and start their own label. Right now Wheatus has 3 different songs on available on their myspace page to play on FFR, including a cover of “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”. Also, they have a Spin It Up song available as well. If you’re in the UK, make sure to check out their shows because they are currently there touring!

Blinded Black Joins FFR’s Growing Widget List!
Hard work, determination, persistency and a little love from the media are some of the key ingredients that comprise the success of St. Louis-based Blinded Black. And with its SideCho Records debut, Under The Sunrise, the empty fuel tanks, days spent on guitar overdubs and hours spent maintaining a vital online presence have all come to fruition in a succinct recorded package.
With the release of Under The Sunrise, the members of Blinded Black are looking forward to taking their show on the road throughout the nation (though the support from its St. Louis homebase could fuel the act on its own). In addition to the heavy amounts of local press coverage, Blinded Black has been interviewed and played on major alternative rock station KPNT “The Point” 105.7 FM and the band also played the Vans Warped Tour 2006 in St. Louis.
So check out their myspace and you can play the widget here!
