Lightyear Entertainment\u00a0is pleased to announce the formation of a new music label,\u00a0Silver Sleeve Records. Silver Sleeve will be helmed by Lightyear VP and former Columbia Records A&R man\u00a0Sky Spooner. It will focus on indie alt\/rock bands, alt\/country bands and active rock bands, in particular from (but not limited to) the vibrant Brooklyn music scene. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cLightyear has always been eclectic in its releases, working in a variety of genres including rock, pop, r&b, hip-hop, reggae, world music, and jazz. Silver Sleeve is going to be different. We will have a distinct label identity. We will be looking for Hard\/Fast\/Loud\/Punk\/Psych\/Surf\/Metal music from stunning emerging artists all over the globe,\u201d said Silver Sleeve President Sky Spooner.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The first band signed to the new label is\u00a0The Giraffes. From 1996 to 2015, the Brooklyn-based Giraffes have\u00a0shredded, burned, and leveled\u00a0every audience from their Brooklyn hometown to the Sunset Strip, and back again. Lead singer Aaron Lazar and guitar wizard Damien Paris form the focus of the band supported by the locomotive rhythm section of maniac drummer Andrew Totolos and latest Giraffe, Josh Taggart on bass.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The first release of the new album from The Giraffes, Usury, will be released digitally worldwide through\u00a0Caroline\/Universal Music Group\u00a0on\u00a0October 2, 2015. The CD and vinyl LP will be released\u00a0January 29, 2016. The LP will be\u00a0clear, audiophile vinyl, with an included download card, and of course\u00a0packaged with a silver sleeve.<\/div>\n
