Another Roxy Style Spy installment! This time Style Spy takes you behind the scenes of the Fall 2010 Roxy photo shoot. The girls looked fresh, natural, and fun. Find out what hair stylist Corie Bardo and make-up artist Yumi have to say about the look they gave the models.

Roxy team riders Alison Bowman (VA) Amy Murphree (FL/CA) and Bree Kleintop (VA) surfed their way to the top over this weekend’s 48th annual East Coast Surfing Championships (ECSC) held in the beautiful ‘Lovers’ state of Virginia. The ECSC is the oldest continuously running surfing contest in North America, and was loaded with high profile East and West coast surfers. Taking home the gold in Girls Division was our own Alison Bowman, also placing 4th in her Jr. women final. Captivated spectators cheered on Virginia Beach local, Bree Kleintop, as she powered through her Junior women final placing 4th over all! And another 1st place Roxy girl finish went to Amy Murphree in the Women’s Long Board Division, also placing 5th over all in the Women’s pro event!  Congratulations girls and good luck in all your upcoming events!

Album Name: We Are Born
Featured Tracks: Clap Your Hands, You’ve Changed
Record Label: Jive Records
Website: www.myspace.com/siamusic
Twitter: twitter.com/siamusic

Some things are just meant to go together – peanut butter and jelly, fresh powder/waves on a sunny day, and Sia and Roxy. Crafting dance pop with a clever, emotional core, Sia has been soundtracking our surf and snow sessions for years now, and her new record, We Are Born, is super fun. It’s a little faster and a little wilder than previous efforts, but still personal. The album’s latest single “Clap Your Hands” has been remixed by Diplo and Prince Vince to make it even more dance floor–friendly (if you never watched Sia dance in the video for “You’ve Changed” you’re missing out).  Though she calls Australia home, Sia’s popular all over the world, inspiring fans with her songs, her fashion, and her charm. We can’t wait to see what she does next!

Here’s a clip of Sia traveling the globe promoting her new record:

Available 8/25-9/1: The Thermals “I Don’t Believe You”

Upon first listen, you’d never guess that The Thermals are comprised of only three members. After all, Hutch Harris, Kathy Foster and Westin Glass make a big noise, and it’s getting bigger (and better) with each record of sweaty indie rock anthems. For their upcoming fifth full-length, Personal Life, the band re-teamed with producer Chris Walla (aka lead guitarist for Death Cab For Cutie). He brings his signature crisp and shiny pop production to The Thermals’ power pop melodies, high-energy riffs, and unforgettable hooks.  Personal Life drops on September 7^th on KRS Records, after which the band will head out across America on a month-long tour. We think the single “I Don’t Believe You” just might be the perfect accompaniment to your back to school/work angst. Download it and turn it up!

Ford Fiesta knows how to hang with the cool kids. The peeps over at Ford sent us a few of their Ford Fiestas for some of our Roxy girls. Both of our Snow and Surf teams will be seen in these cars over the next several months. Maybe you’ll see one during one of the Roxy girls’ road trips, maybe parked at the beach, at the base of the mountain, or who knows? When you spot one, let us know! What do you think of the the Ford Fiesta with the Roxy logos? Where will you take your next road trip?

Available 8/18 – 8/25 – Sister Crayon “Souls of Gold”

Like a lot of bands we’re into, Sister Crayon hail from California – up Sacramento way to be exact. Initially the band consisted only of Terra Lopez playing classical guitar over pre-programmed beats at house parties. Eventually she recruited Dani Fernandez, Genaro Ulloa, and Nicholas Suhr to round things out. After months of performing up and down the coast, their singles are starting to generate major buzz and anticipation for the release of their debut EP Enter Into Holy (Or)ders is high.  The band’s infectious beats, burbling keyboards, and smart female vocals scream “Roxy girl” to us. Are you feeling it??

Album Title: Cloak and Cipher
Featured Track: Swift Coin
Record Label: Saddle Creek
Website: www.myspace.com/landoftalk

Happy Monday, everyone! As we enjoy one of the last full weeks of summer, the time is right for a new Land of Talk record. Led by singer/songwriter Elizabeth Powell, this indie rock trio from the frigid climes of Montreal has been on the road for the past two years in support of their debut album, Some Are Lakes. Now they’re back with Cloak and Cipher, a new full length comprised of tunes that are more mature, more sophisticated and more fun. The album also features a load of guests, including members of Stars, Silver Mount Zion Band, Wintersleep, Besnard Lakes, and a little band  you might have heard of called Arcade Fire. The new record drops on August 24^th, and the band will tour in the States throughout the fall. Grab a free mp3 from the new album here!

Available 8/11 – 8/18 – Tallest Trees “Skinny Little Wrists”

When you hear that a band hails from Nashville you probably assume they’ll be singing about how their boyfriend/girlfriend left them, accompanied by fiddle and pedal steel. Well, not Tallest Trees (though they did record their upcoming debut album, The Ostrich or the Lark, in a log cabin). Mixing electronic elements with stabbing guitars and ethereal harmonies, the Trees’ Thomas Samuel and Dabney Morris build dreamy anthems that are the perfect soundtrack to lying in a hammock or riding home after a long day at the beach. Download the new single “Skinny Little Wrists” and the daydreams begin.
