The Ugly Club's Kickstarter campaign went live on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012 and will be running for 30 days, allowing fans to help fund the release of their upcoming full-length record. Ryan Egan, singer/songwriter of The Ugly Club says, âWith this campaign weâre basically asking our fan base to become our record label. We donât have any financial support from a label or production company and this is such a sweet way to team up with the people who care about us and make our music possible.â The band has been tirelessly recording the new album since the Fall at Soundwaves Studios in Union, NJ and are anxious to release it to the public. âWe have tons of new songs and a lot to give and are just really looking forward to putting this record out,â Egan says. âWe are hoping that this album encompasses New Jersey for our generation and can be regarded highly on the list of our stateâs best musical contributions.â The campaign will be online at Kickstarter.com for all of February and anyone can help out. The band has set out tons of creative and somewhat humorous gifts as incentive for fans to give and pre order the album.

Philadelphia's Astronauts

Mont Brown - Life we chose ft. Denny Love & Pace-O Beats Prod. Pace-O Beats
By Mont Brown
Download : MP3 Audio

'The Astronauts' have begun something special in Philadelphia. Our sound is so new and refreshing, making us something to pay attention to for 2012. We do not focus on all these cliches (drugs, guns, violence etc.) that had artists rise to the top in 2011. Instead we stay true to what is real to us and what we think Hip-Hop is all about: being fly and talking about real life experiences; with our own superior production and unrivaled lyricism. Sometimes we may mention some things like partying and smoking because it is a part of our lifestyle. However never will our music be limited to this with unnecessary repetition. In fact we classify ourselves as Hip-Hop/Pop/Alternative since we are much different from the norm in the Hip-Hop genre; too open-ended to restrict ourselves to just one specific category.
