Revolver is proud to be announce we're working with Fred Schneider and his new group The Superions on their new release, The Superions EP - including Totally Nude Island and the surprise smash hit, Who Threw That Ham At Me - so popular that the Superions EP made it to #11 in iTunes US Top Electronic Albums before Monday afternoon this week!

Fred brings his usual irreverent sense of style and humour to the party with the new EP, including tracks like Who Threw That Ham At Me - which was the soundtrack to news networks' coverage of Paula Deen's unfortunate accident back in November (video here). And now, in glorious high def, you can watch the official video!

Destined to be another hit (they hope), "Ham" arrived as a digital single on November 24, 2009, just in time for the holiday season: "Who doesn't love a juicy, fatty, salty, canned ham covered in pineapple slices and those red dye #2 cherries?" asks music programmer Dan Marshall.  "I don't" says vocalist, lyricist Fred Schneider.  "I'm a vegetarian."  "Where's the sweet potatoes with marshmallows?" adds keyboardist Noah Brodie.

A litle history about Revolver...

The birth of Revolver Records can be traced back to 1982, having started as an offshoot from its sister label Heavy Metal Records (which itself began in 1979). Since then, Revolver has been at the forefront of new music, signing acts such as The Stone Roses & Jane's Addiction. Today, Revolver Records operates alongside Heavy Metal Records as a fully-fledged label in its own right, releasing new artists, sourcing and promoting new talent from the Midlands, the UK and further afield. We're also behind some exciting new projects, including a new project called Revolver Digital, offering services and opportunities for artists wishing to focus on their online strategy and get their music online and available to buy as soon as possible!

We're also rolling out our new Fairtrade accredited, organic cotton garments through our sister company Revolver World. Look out for our shirts in all Mid-Counties Co-Ops, with a nationwide launch imminent!

Even with the raft of innovative new services and products we're launching, we are still seeking to ensure that Revolver continues to bring the world the best new musical acts around whilst continuing to challenge people's perceptions of indie labels. Rest assured that even while we're adding more and more of our catalogue to the site, we'll still be doing what we do best - releasing great music, and this site's where you'll hear it first.
