DIAMOND PLATE comments:

 

“Our goal with this music video was to capture the band’s live energy in a cinematic way while giving the viewer more than just a video of us playing live.

 

Thanks to our director Lester, our cinematographer Andrew, all of the cast and crew, and the 1966 Chevelle for being a badass motherfucker.”

 

PULSE is now available at CMDistro.com. For another preview of PULSE, be sure to check out the previously released track: “Walking Backwards“.

DIAMOND PLATE recently returned home from an amazing three-week run with DEATH ANGEL, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD, BATTLECROSS, and REVOCATION.

Echosmith’s Debut Album Talking Dreams Out Today “Cool Kids” Selected as iTunes Single of the Week

Posted in Featured, New Music, News, Releases, Reviews, Shows, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 9, 2013 by Randy
Los Angeles-based alt-pop quartet Echosmith has released their debut album Talking Dreams today via Warner Bros Records, and iTunes has selected one of the album’s highlights “Cool Kids” as its Single of the Week for this week. Download “Cool Kids” here: www.iTunes.com/Echosmith
To support Talking Dreams, Echosmith is heading out on a fall tour supporting Tonight Alive. The nationwide run kicks off October 23rd in Baltimore, MD and continues through November 23rd in San Diego, CA. For the Foxes and Downtown Fiction are also on the bill.
Echosmith, which consists of Sierota siblings Jamie (vocals/guitar), Sydney (vocals/keyboard), Noah (vocals/bass), and Graham (drums), recorded Talking Dreams with producer Mike Elizondo (Tegan and Sara, No Doubt, Maroon 5), who signed them to Warner Bros with WBR chairman and fellow producer Rob Cavallo.  Although still newcomers, the band has been receiving effusive early praise. Alternative Press selected them as one of their “100 Bands To Watch in 2013,” Seventeen called Sydney’s voice “stunning” and MTV recently declared them a “Buzzworthy Obsession.” The video for “Cool Kids” is currently in rotation at MTVU, watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXTlczyWJ-Y

 

Echosmith spent their summer crisscrossing the country on the Vans Warped Tour. Originally slotted for only the first half, Echosmith’s overwhelmingly positive crowd response resulted in their being added to the entire run. They rounded out August with a string of Owl City dates, and recently treated LA fans to four area shows. They will be playing a free hometown show tonight at AmplyFi.  Full tour dates are below.
