The 405 Daily Dose // 21st April 2011 (feat. The Decemberists & more)

We have a rather large Daily Dose for you today due to a bulging 405 inbox. This is partially down to throwing a party last night and partially down to all the pr people rushing out news today so that they can have a long weekend. Who can blame them though, right? Let's get cracking. The Decemberists will release their new single 'This Is Why We Fight' on May 16th, and you can see the video right here.
Tellison will be releasing their new album The Wages Of Fear on June 13th and to get you in the mood they've released a Rolo Tomassi remix of 'Collarbone'. The initial line-up for Leopallooza Festival 2011 has been released. On Saturday 30th July The Datsuns, Man Like Me, Fiction, Yaaks, The Skints, Little Fish, Max Raptot, La Shark, Kill It Kid, Stagecoach and Backbeat Soundsystem will play. On Sunday 31st July Alice Gold, Jarle Bernhoft, Lulu And The Lampshades, Polock and Company B will play. More info can be found by heading to www.leopallooza.com
Crewdson released a wonderful EP last year in the form of Dust. He's following this up with a new track called 'Trapdoor' (hear it below), which proceeds his forthcoming debut album Gravity.

Phantom Theory have put together a zombietastic video for 'Tone Of The Dead'. It's like DFA 1979 backed with Romero visuals. Winning combination? You better believe it.
