Allele top 5 on Mediabase Indie Chart!Saturday December 10, 2005
We are extremely humbled and ecstatic to report another milestone in CPR history as, after a few weeks of sitting at #5, Allele's "Closer to Habit" is currently #4 on the Mediabase Active Indie chart!

If you don't know, Mediabase is a company that tracks radio spins with data from thousands of reporting radio stations across the country. Basically what that means is, out of EVERY band on an independent label in the US, Allele has the fourth most spins on Active Rock Radio this week!

Allele will be hitting the road in January/February for a string of headlining dates with Cinder, the first of which have been announced and are up on the tour page. Watch for more dates to be announced very shortly.

Punishing America (Online)Thursday December 8, 2005
Starting tomorrow, Dec 9th, Allele's "Closer to Habit" and Switched's "Empty Promises" will be available as featured downloads on AOL Music's featured downloads page. You can find it online here, or AOL users can find it at Keyword:Music, under Songs/Free Downloads.

Additionally, "Closer to Habit" has been added into rotation on AOL Radio's NEW ROCK FIRST station, which you can find here.

Also, for a week before it's Jan 10th release, Switched's Ghosts in the Machine will be featured in it's entirety on AOL Music's Listening Party. This is a huge honor for us, as the listening party always features artists of the highest caliber (right now it features everyone from John Lennon to Korn, to New Order, to Eminem), so big thanks are due to Pete Schiecke and AOL Music for the love. Look for a lot more collaborations between AOL and CPR in the near future.

AOL users can find the listening party, again, at Keyword:Music.
