THE POODLES más detalles de su nuevo disco "Performocracy"
Nota de prensa:"PERFORMOCRACY" tiene previsto su lanzamiento en todo el mundo el 15 de abril de 2011 a través de Frontiers Records.
El álbum fue producido nuevamente por Mats Valentin, pero esta vez Tobias Lindell (Europe, Mustasch) hizo las mezclas de los 12 temas que componen el cd. "Creo que hemos seguido con lo que empezamos en el anterior álbum, “Clash of the Elements”, explica el cantante Jakob Samuel. "Además de continuar trabajando con el extraordinario productor, Mats Valentin, dimos un paso más con algunos de los matices que se insinuaban en “Clash of the Elements”. "Performocracy" es más épico y con algunas canciones con un carácter oscuro que queríamos explorar más en detalle. Dicho esto, ha quedado definitivamente sellado con una gran cantidad de elementos melódicos marca de la banda".
El primer sencillo que se editará de "Performocracy" es "Cuts Like A Knife", que promete atraer tanto a los fans como a cualquier persona con pasión por el rock n 'roll. La canción se estrenará en la radio el 21 de febrero y el single será lanzado sólo en formato digital el 3 de marzo. Un video producido por Steve Ravic, que también dirigió y produjo a la banda en el histórico lanzamiento del DVD "In the Flesh", acompañará el lanzamiento del primer single. Después de los discos de oro y platino que la banda fue capaz de lograr en su país de origen Suecia, es el momento de comerse el mundo!
"Un aspecto importante de tener algunos lanzamientos ya en el saco es que sabes más lo que quieres como banda", añade el bajista Ponto Egberg. "Alguien dijo una vez que "si quieres soñar en grande, tienes que soñar con todo detalle". Para nosotros esto significa que tenemos todo el conocimiento y la experiencia que hemos adquirido de nuestros trabajos anteriores y que lo usamos para planear y hacer nuestros sueños más grandes."

Watch out! Out of Sweden, THE POODLES release their new album “Performocracy”
Frontiers Records is excited to announce the release of the highly anticipated fourth album from THE POODLES entitled “Performocracy” on April 15th in Europe and May 5th in North America.
The title of the album is a combination of the words “Performance” and “Democracy”, meaning “The power of Performance” or “Rule by Performance”. The album was again produced by Mats Valentin, but this time Tobias Lindell (Europe, Mustasch) mixed the 12 outstanding tracks that make up the cd. “I think we have followed through on what we started with the last album, “Clash of the Elements”, explains singer Jakob Samuel. “Besides continuing to work with producer extraordinaire, Mats Valentin, we took a step further with some of the material that was hinted at on “Clash of the Elements”. On “Performocracy” there is a more epic and darker character to some of the songs that we wanted to explore in more detail. Having said this, we have definitely stayed with a lot of the signature melodic elements that are trademark of the band”.
The first single off “Performocracy” is “Cuts like a knife”, which promises to entice both Poodles fans and anyone with a passion for rock n’ roll. The song will impact at radio on February 21st and the single will be released digitally only on March 3rd. A video produced by Steve Ravic, who also shot and produced the band’s landmark DVD release “In the Flesh”, will accompany the release of the first single. After the gold and platinum records that the band was able to achieve in their home country Sweden, now it is time for them to take on the world !
“One important aspect of having a few releases in the bag is that you know more what you want as a band” adds bassist Pontus Egberg. “Someone once said that “if you want to dream big, you have to dream in great detail”. To us this means that we take all the knowledge and experience that we have acquired from our previous efforts and use that to plan ahead and make our dreams bigger.”
As the album title suggests, performing songs live is the reason for what The Poodles are as a band. A full European tour is planned for the early fall of 2011 and in conjunction to this The Poodles will also head to South America and Japan to support the release of “Performocracy”. For the summer of 2011 The Poodles will take part to festivals and shows with a focus on Sweden.
