Welcome to the first Tuesday of October. We have 4 new exciting albums coming out this month and it starts with today’s Oct 11th release date of Tatanka, Fishbone, I-Wayne and Katastro. Let’s take a look…
Taken from our October 2011 Album Releases article, here are today’s New Releases…
Tatanka – Jon Dunbar
Release Date: October 11th, 2011
Tatanka will be releasing a 12 track album that will include a song called “The Shark” that will feature Ted from Passafire. The album is going to be 80 minutes of what the group describes as “Electro dub sound scapes that are sure to make you groove”. Based out of Denver, CO Tatanka actually had to cut a couple of tracks to fit the 80 minute disc. It’s being produced by Dave Jackson, Joel Scanlon & Tatanka. This will be an independent release and the album will be titled Jonh Dunbar. If the name sounds familiar, then that’s because you’ve seen the movie Dances With Wolves with Kevin Costner. The cover art was designed by Nick Hughes. The album will be released digital, except for those fortunate to catch them at a live show. BUY NOW
Fishbone – Crazy Glue EP
Release Date: Oct 11th, 2011
Fishbone, with their frenzied, up-tempo music and frantic, euphorically entertaining stage show, will be releasing their highly anticipated new seven song EP, Crazy Glue via DC-Jam Records on October 11, 2011. This is Fishbone’s first release in 5 years and the group has even discussed creating a Part 2 & Part 3 follow up to Crazy Glue. With a blistering combination of punk and funk Fishbone demolishes the walls of genre and challenges the racial stereotypes and political order of the music industry and the nation. Brice Poircuitte is responsible for the cover art as he was the lucky winner of the Covert Art contest!
I Wayne – Life Teachings
Release Date: Oct 11th, 2011
Born Cliffroy Taylor, the Kingston native captivated fans in 2005 with his debut release of Lava Ground. Now, on Oct 11 2011, I Wayne has a new 14 track album titled Life Teachings that he’ll be releasing on VP Records. On Life Teachings, I Wayne rejects materialism, predicts the imminent downfall of Babylon, rails against the violence and successfully ventures into the dancehall terrain. The intricately-crafted album features organic rhythms rife with rugged basslines and one-drop drumbeats, produced mostly by Patrick Z. Henry, who is responsible for 11 of the album’s songs and I-Wayne’s breakthrough hit “Can’t Satisfy Her.” The album features Assassin (a.k.a. Agent Sasco) & Jamaican songstress Etana.

Katastro – Gentle Predator
Release Date: October 11th, 2011
Katastro is a melting pot of hip-hop, blues, jazz, rock, and just the right spice of reggae. Katastro has developed a unique sound unlike any other in the reggae-rock community. They’ll be releasing their new 7 track album titled Gentle Predator on Oct 11th. Katastro went to work locally in Phoenix at Novel Motion Recording Studio and took their talents to the Golden State to record at The Den Recorders in Pasadena, CA. The album was produced by Joe Fikany (B Foundation) and mixed by Eddie Ponce with Eddie contributing some keyboard play to album. The creative and detailed artwork on the cover, consisting of a peacock with its feathers firmly pointed to the sky—ready for battle, was designed by Michael Tierney who has done all of our Katastro’s artowrk and happens to be the cousin to drummer Andrew Stravers.
