Carina Round Just Signed With Interscope

[Susang]

My favorite indie rock chick has just gone mainstream. If you haven't heard her yet and love melodic and slightly angry rock, you should definitely check her shit out. I was really looking forward to seeing her perform this summer with the Lollapalooza festival, but alas, it was not meant to be. :-(

snip:
Carina Round is riding on the crest of a wave. Her critically-acclaimed brand of blues-rock is finally bringing her the success she deserves and a host of celebrity fans.

Carina has been gigging since she was a teenager and released her seven-track debut album 'The First Blood Mystery' in 2001.

She secured support slots with Coldplay and Ryan Adams amongst others, as she built up a reputation for electric and intense live performances and a powerful, distinctive voice.

Difficult times followed, as she struggled to find someone to put out her second album, eventually making the decision to release it herself.

Ever since 'The Disconnection' came out on her own label in October 2003, Carina has gone from strength to strength.

A headlining national tour and an appearance in the New Bands tent at Glastonbury has seen her profile continue to rise in the UK.

Recently she signed to the huge American record label Interscope, home of Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails amongst many others.

1. Yes, but what's become of "'80's Girl"?

That's scary to see...I hope Interscope leaves her alone...what're the odds?

2. Haven't seen her, though I'm still looking

Now I'm working on a piece about the bird man of Lincoln Square. Problem is, I'm really cranky lately and uninspired. This guy is so fascinating that he deserves better, so I refuse to write about him until I feel right about it.

Until then, I'll post crap! :P

As far as Round is concerned, Interscope leaves Marilyn Manson pretty much alone, so hopefully they won't feel the need to fuck with her too much. I really think she could as great as PJ Harvey.

3. I keep hoping metroblog hurries up with their Austin site.

I've got tons of shit to rant about!

Wow - that's some praise. I hope she makes it that far!

[Susang]

4. Did they ask you to write for them?

I knew they would! :party:

5. I actually haven't heard from them.

:-(

6. I'd send them an email and ask them what's up

Just to see what's going on. I'll see if I can find out when the Austin site is supposed to go up.

7. I fear I wasn't "dynamic" enough when I e-mailed them.

I'll follow up though.
