P is for Panda Announces the Signing of Gasoline Heart

In what has been the worst kept secret in our short span of life as a record label, P is for Panda, a subsidiary of Hopeless Records, is so proud to announce the signing of Orlando, FLs own Gasoline Heart.

Orlando Weekly described Gasoline Heart “reminiscent of the Heartbreakers, only fronted by late-career Springsteen” and Paste Magazine described songs off their first record “You Know Who You Are” as “songs that achingly reach out for the glancing flash of moonlight on a whiskey bottle”. Basically, songs that rock.

Gasoline Heart, along with P is For Panda and Paste Magazine, are initially releasing a compilation of songs from their previous records along with three new songs from their upcoming Panda release (Armadillo, Stop Pretending and Just Like A Ghost) for FREE. Cucumber Riot is the title of this “best of” and only available digitally at Paste Magazine for 4 weeks, starting June 2nd.

Following the release of “Cucumber Riot” Gasoline Heart and P is for Panda will be releasing “Nostalgia Ain’t What It Used To Be”, Gasoline Heart's 2nd full length, digitally on June 23rd. Gasoline Heart will be selling CD’s on the road and you can purchase them on pisforpanda.com.

Through non profit organization Sub City, 5% of the suggested retail price on all albums sold will be donated to the Layla House, a child care facility operated by Adoption Advocates International, an agency licensed in Washington State and an NGO in Ethiopia with authority from the Ethiopian government to arrange adoptions of orphan children with qualified and loving parents. Located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Layla House is an one acre compound, composed of four smaller compounds, situated on a hillside in a nice residential area of the city, with lots of space for outdoor play for the children.
