Portland, OR - November 1, 2017 - Portland-based Icarus The Owl are thrilled to share their brand new video "Coma Dreams," from their forthcoming album Rearm Circuits. Fans can check out the video, which was made entirely using stop-motion animation, here: https://youtu.be/Yfi8E_Bu-Z4. Rearm Circuits is set to be released December 1st, 2017 via Blue Swan Records. For more information or to pre-order the new album, please visit: www.icarustheowl.com

 

On the new track, singer Joey Rubenstein shares: "This is my favorite video of ours by far. It's a blend of things I love - sci-fi, skee ball, and stop-motion animation. Also, love. Love is pretty cool, too."

The band will be supporting Dance Gavin Dance on tour this December. The run kicks off on December 4th in Reno and wraps up on December 15th in Sacramento.

 

Icarus The Owl formed in 2009 and wasted no time in completing their debut album, The Spotless Mind, which sold over 10,000 copies while they followed the 2009 Vans Warped Tour. Over 20 tours and 2 more self-released albums later, the band signed a deal with Will Swan of Dance Gavin Dance's label, Blue Swan Records, in 2015. They released their Blue Swan debut, Pilot Waves, in October of 2015, placing them on the Billboard Heatseeker's chart for the first time in their career.

 

Fast forward to present day, Icarus is gearing up for the release of their 5th studio album, Rearm Circuits.  Icarus The Owl was put to the test both personally and musically during the making of Rearm Circuits. From being on tour in Paris during the tragic terrorist attacks to taking an unplanned 7 month hiatus, Icarus has been put through the ringer and is ready to rearm their circuits, so to speak.  "So much has happened to us in the last two years. I am ecstatic that we made it out the other side with what I feel is easily our best record," says Rubenstein.

 

Rearm Circuits will be released on December 1st via Blue Swan Records. Pre-order bundles are available now at icarustheowl.com

Comcast Business Expands Nation’s Largest Gig-speed Network to the West

DOCSIS 3.1-based gigabit internet service now available to Comcast Business customers in California, Colorado, Houston, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon, Utah and Washington

DENVER – November 1, 2017 – Comcast Business today announced the expansion of its DOCSIS 3.1-based internet service to business customers in the Western United States, including California, Colorado, Houston, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon, Utah and Washington.

With the continued roll out of its gig-speed network, Comcast’s “Business Internet 1 Gig” and “Business Internet 500” speed tiers are now available to business customers in the West, Central, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast service areas using the company’s existing network, without the need for costly and disruptive construction of new network facilities.

“With more companies adopting cloud-based services, leveraging SD-WAN to connect branch locations, and using high-performance internet as a competitive differentiator and growth tool, it’s more important than ever that organizations manage their current bandwidth needs while also planning for the future requirements and the dynamics of the digital transformation of businesses,” said Peter Neill, vice president of Comcast Business for Comcast’s West Division. “Our gig-speed network allows businesses to quickly and easily scale network capacity at their locations and leverage innovative technology services to keep customers happy and increase the bottom line."

Comcast’s DOCSIS 3.1-based business internet service provides gigabit speeds for any business environment – whether a distributed enterprise with locations across the country or a small business with only a handful of locations. Its speed and cost efficiencies make it ideally suited for government agencies and organizations in the retail, healthcare, manufacturing, hospitality and education industries.

Business Internet 1 Gig and Business Internet 500 enable Comcast Business to deploy gigabit service widely across its existing network and reach more customers. With the addition of the markets announced today, DOCSIS 3.1-based internet service is now generally available across Comcast’s national footprint. The service tiers complement existing gigabit and multi-gigabit options already available to Comcast Business customers, including Comcast Business Ethernet, which the company launched in, and has been expanding nationally since, 2011. Ethernet services can support speeds of up to 100 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) over fiber.

Pricing for these services varies based on business location and number of locations to be served as well as the services to which the business currently subscribes. Customers can contact their local Comcast salesperson or agent for more information. Organizations already served by Comcast can upgrade to Business Internet 1 Gig or Business Internet 500 by calling 855.319.0093 or visiting: http://business.comcast.com/gig.
