Hadouken! - "Music for an Accelerated Culture"

This just became available in the US, and it's incredible! It's one of those albums that is impossible to listen to and not move--think The Streets on speed. Not to mention, the band is named after one of the greatest moves in video game history. Listen to them at their Myspace page, and be sure to turn the volume up.

Entourage Season 5

Entourage is quite possibly the greatest show ever--at least up there with Seinfeld and Curb. If you're as obsessed as me, check out some cool behind-the-scenes stuff here.

Holiday Parade gave Platform One a shout-out after the September EAS! Check out more at our artist testimonials page!
