Also from If Society comes word that they've signed Helsinki-based pop act Red Carpet. The band was formed by ex-Sister Flo member Petri "Snägäri" Nakari as a one-man lo-fi bedroom project and has now become what the label says is "Simon and Garfunkel to the 21st century and blows away 99.9% of your average pop-bands with some subdued heavy firepower and songs that'll save your life for sure." The first 7" "Blood, sweat & tears" b/w "Leave a light on" comes out on May 13 with a proper full-length to follow sometime around September.
