ATO Records is proud to announce that the soundtrack to the subversively comedic film "Choke," will be released on September 23, 2008. The album, a digital-only release, will have the seven songs from the film and eight others that are significant to actor, director and screen writer Clark Gregg's vision while he was making it. Highlights include previously recorded songs by the likes of Radiohead, Death Cab For Cutie, My Morning Jacket, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Fiery Furnaces, The Twilights Singers and Ben Kweller. Most notable additions are the previously unreleased or rare tracks that appear on the record, among them "Orgasm Addict" by The Buzzcocks as sung by the band's original singer Howard Devoto, a great version of The Doors' "Crystal Ship" by the incomparable Nicole Atkins and The Sea, and the original version by The Natural History of Spoon's current hit single, "Don't You Ever." The full tracklisting and comments on each song by Gregg are below.

Fox Searchlight Pictures and ATO Pictures present "Choke," a Contrafilm/ATO Pictures Production, based on the novel by maverick author Chuck Palahniuk ("Fight Club"). Actor-turned-director Gregg shows he is as adept behind the camera as he is in front of it with this wickedly comedic tale of Victor Mancini, con artist, sex addict, Colonial village re-enactor, angst-filled son, serial restaurant choke -- and unsuspecting romantic antihero for our unsettling times.

"Choke," which ran away with the Special Jury Prize for Best Work by an Ensemble Cast at this year's Sundance Film Festival, is not only a cathartic and romantic satire about uncontrolled lust, lost faith, childhood trauma, mad addictions, bizarre fantasies and blockages both emotionally and literally, but also about second chances, redemptive moments and true love - that is, it's about modern life.

The Veronicas are gearing up to release their sophomore album, Hook Me Up, in the US on August 26th! The eye-popping video for "Untouched" — the first single from Hook Me Up —earned the super-hot duo a performance on MTV's TRL, which is airing August 20th at 11amEST. Also, Lisa and Jess recently announced that they're hitting the road with the Jonas Brothers for a select string of shows later this month (tour dates below).

Hook Me Up represents a stylistic leap from the girls' 2006 debut The Secret Life Of... by swapping the latter's pop-punk leanings for Hook Me Up's dance friendly, beat-driven feel. The album features a host of top notch hitmakers, including Shelly Peiken (Christina Aguilera), Greg Wells (Mika), John Feldmann (The Used, Good Charlotte), Billy Steinberg (Madonna), and their Secret Life collaborator Toby Gad, who also wrote Fergie's 2007 hit "Big Girls Don't Cry." Hook Me Up has already achieved double-platinum status in the girls' native Australia.
