SARATHAN RECORDS SIGNS WAR TAPES
 Sarathan Records is proud to welcome War Tapes to our roster. This Los Angeles 4-piece successfully creates epic anthems of angst, blending the attitude and edge of today's post-hard-core scene with an appealing nod to 80's new-wave and post-punk.
All the while, War Tapes demonstrates a knack for creating huge hooks and sing-a-long choruses.
Front-man Neil Popkin engages audiences with youthful charisma and a passionate delivery. His dark, powerful stage presence is unpredictable, yet completely refined. Conversely, bassist Becca Popkin is stoic and graceful, playing thoughtful bass lines filled with melodic, driving force while simultaneously adding lush and haunting harmonies that counter-balance her brother's deeply commanding vocals. Drawing on his punk-rock roots, the fervent Matt Bennett seamlessly combines his live energy with a wall-of-sound guitar style that adds an intense level of richness and precision that rivals the heroes he grew up worshipping, but is completely his own. The unique drumming approach of William Mohler brings a striking and stylistic dynamic to the band. His powerful rhythmic cadence is the breath and pulse of the band and the foundation for War Tapes' signature heart-quaking 'doom-pop'.

SARATHAN PROUDLY SIGNS FERAL CHILDREN
 Sarathan Records is proud to announce the signing of Feral Children. This high-energy Seattle-based indie-rock band brings a new dimension and aesthetic to Sarathan's already eclectic roster, with their wild range of experimental explorations and explosive live show. Their debut album, Second to the Last Frontier, was self-released locally to overwhelming praise and will receive its proper US retail release summer 2008 through Fontana/Universal and international digital release through IODA.
Produced by Scott Colburn (Animal Collective, Arcade Fire), the album draws upon and expands from their diverse set of influences. Comparisons to Animal Collective and early-era Modest Mouse are good starting points, but don't fully recognize Feral Children's complete range. Local press has been nothing short of enthusiastic leading to great optimism for 2008.
"The future is now for the Feral Children"
- John Richards, KEXP (Top 15 Northwest release)
"Second to the Last Frontier is one of the more memorable Northwest albums of 2007."
- Don Yates, Music Director at KEXP
"Perfect, absolutely perfect."(4 ½ stars)
- Katie Sauro, Seattle Sound Magazine
Feral Children may have joined Sarathan's 'nest', but they will never be tamed or domesticated. Catch Feral Children in Austin this March where they will be playing multiple SXSW parties! More information can be found at myspace.com/feralchildrenseattle.
