The new single “Not Your Fault” is set for release on February 20th, taken from the debut album Megalithic Symphony. The single is currently in the Top 20 and rising at Alternative radio in the United States.

The Tim Burton inspired video for “Not Your Fault” sees front man Aaron Bruno and his band drifting into a brilliantly bizarre animated sci-fi caper, battling a deranged abominable snow beast to dodging bullets fired from a lizard like sea-creature before being incinerated…the list goes on! The surreal animated odyssey, directed by Cameron ‘The Gatsby’ Duddy and premiered through MTV’s PUSH campaign in the United States…

Inspired by the unique visual displays in the “Not Your Fault” video, AWOLNATION has launched Megalithic Mayhem, an online video game featuring the band members as characters and scenarios from the video as scenes in the game. Visit http://www.megalithicmayhem.com to play directly, or click HERE to play through Facebook. Megalithic Mayhem will also be available as an app for mobile devices in early 2012.

This has been a breakout year for AWOLNATION and their hit single “Sail”. It was certified Gold in the US while remaining in the Top 5 at Alternative radio for 5 weeks in a row, and was certified Platinum in Canada while also hitting #1 on the Canadian Modern Rock charts. In addition to selling out multiple headlining tours in the United States, AWOLNATION performed on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

A massive success story in the US, this year could very well be the time where AWOLNATION fever spreads like wildfire here.

Jim Parsons Guest Stars on “Glenn Martin, DDS” July 9, on Nick at Nite! from NickPress on Vimeo.

2010 Primetime Emmy Award Nominees Jim Parsons and Ty Burrell will be lending their voices to the hit animated series Glenn Martin, DDS in a brand new episode airing on July 9th at 10:30pm on Nickelodeon. Series regular Catherine O’Hara was also nominated for a 2010 Primetime Emmy Award today.

In the new episode, titled “Jackie’s Get Witch Quick Scheme,” Parsons and Burrell are both featured in multiple roles including residents of Salem, Massachusetts and numerous Kenedys. In the episode, after learning about their parents’ ancestors, Courtney is bummed that there are no notable women on Jackie’s side until Jackie discovers one of her descendants was a Salem witch. In Salem, Jackie is treated like a celebrity until the townsfolk learn that her descendant was not what she appeared to be. Meanwhile, Conor and Glenn go sailing and run afoul of the Kennedy clan on Cape Cod.

Jim Parsons Guest Stars on “Glenn Martin, DDS” July 9, on Nick at Nite from NickPress on Vimeo.

Glenn Martin, DDS’ all-star lead voice cast includes Kevin Nealon (Weeds, Anger Management) as Glenn Martin, Catherine O’Hara (For Your Consideration, Chicken Little) as Jackie Martin and Judy Greer (27 Dresses, Arrested Development) as Wendy Park. The series, from Tornante Animation, airs regularly Fridays at 10:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

Currently airing its second season, these all-new episodes packed with celebrity guest stars including former Poison lead singer Bret Michaels, Mel Brooks, Fergie, Kristen Bell, Sean Hayes, Betty White, Jimmy Kimmel, John Corbett, Fran Drescher, Bradley Whitford, Cheri Oteri, MC Hammer, Jason Alexander, George Takei, Howie Mandel, Don Johnson, Ty Burrell, Ashley Tisdale, Jim Parsons, two-time Emmy Award winner Bryan Cranston and Oscar nominated actresses Gabourey Sibide and Ellen Page, among others.

Glenn Martin, DDS follows the offbeat adventures of beleaguered dentist, Glenn, and his family – earnest yet slightly cynical wife, Jackie; hormone-addled son, Conor; power suit-wearing daughter, Courtney (Jackie Clarke); her subservient assistant, Wendy (Judy Greer); and family dog, Canine – who trade in the suburbs for a life on the road. Yearning for a deeper connection with his family, Glenn has packed up the Martins in an RV, which doubles as his dentist office, to go cross-country. The second season will take them on new adventures, meeting colorful locals, to such places as the San Francisco Mint; Salem, Massachusetts; the Seattle fish market and the Big Apple. The Martins, who put the “fun” in dysfunctional, are a family who loves and can depend on one another, despite all the mayhem.
