Jesse Malin, Queens-based singer/songwriter has a new album out, “Love It To Life,” and a new band, The St. Marks Social, by his side, just in time for a UK Tour beginning December 2. The new record’s single, “Burning the Bowery” embodies Malin’s classic rock roots, power chord-driven modulations, uplifting nature, and the Southern rock-twangs of his vocals. Standout track, “Disco Ghetto” is danceable and far from rundown. Joining Jesse Malin and his band on the tour across the pond will be A Million Years. These four Brooklynites’ debut full-length album, “Mischief Maker,” caught Jesse Malin’s ear with their tense harmonies, crisp guitars, and flowing vocals. Notable tracks include bubbly “By Yourself,” sultry “Suspicious,” and explosive “California Smile.” Jesse Malin and The St. Marks Social, and A Million Years play off each other gracefully, and the two will certainly leave the UK with a great impression of New York music. www.jessemalin.com www.myspace.com/amillionyearsmusic – Meijin Bruttomesso
