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.

More About NONONO:  

NONONO’s “Pumpin Blood” is spreading across the interwebs and climbing the Alternative radio charts with purpose, becoming omnipresent by way of subliminal infiltration. You either know the song already or you’re not yet aware that you know it. “Pumpin Blood” is the soundtrack to a new Sparkling Ice campaign that’s now running. The song is shooting up the radio charts thanks to early support from influential stations like KROQ/LA, KYSR/LA, WKQX/Chicago, LIVE105/SF, WHFS/Baltimore, KROX/Austin, Sirius/Alt Nation and Music Choice “Pumpin Blood” represents just one angle of the NONONO sound however. Other songs such as “Down Under,” and “Like The Wind” fluctuate across styles, genres and moods. “Pumpin Blood” is the bait that will allow their other angles to be discovered on their upcoming debut album.

 

NONONO’s “Pumpin Blood” is now for sale on iTunes, Amazon and all other DSP’s and streaming on Spotify. Check out the official video for  “Pumpin Blood,” stream the song onSoundcloud and take a listen to the Shapeshifters Remix of “Pumpin Blood,” which just premiered on Vice/Noisey and is exclusively for sale on Beatport as part of a remix package.

As Stina affirms: “There’s something that ties the sound of the songs together but they’re all a little bit of different. We never wanted to decide upon a genre or what the NONONO sound was. We just always go with what we felt like and what inspired us that day – you go from being happy to being sad to being shallow to being deep, so whatever mood we’ve been in that’s what song will emerge.”

 

Part of the identity of the band is sourced from the freedom that emerged when they all turned down musical projects that they weren’t comfortable with. But, as Stina explains, that can be applied across other areas of life too: “Most of the time people want to say yes, like, ‘Yes, I want the job’ or ‘Yes, I want to be your girlfriend.’ But it’s a lot harder to say no. It’s really important to live your life for yourself, and what things you want to do and what relationships you want to keep.”

 

NONONO is a triumph of the positive aspect of negative thinking.

 

Confirmed NONONO US Tour Dates:

10/15 – New York, NY – Mercury Lounge (Ticket Link)

10/22 – Los Angeles, CA – Jimmy Kimmel Live!

10/23 – San Francisco, CA – Rickshaw Stop (Popscene) (Ticket Link)

U.K. HARD-ROCK BAND – STARSEED – SET TO RELEASE THEIR DEBUT SINGLE IN THE U.S.

Posted in New Music, News, Releases with tags , , , , on November 30, 2011 by Randy

New single, “Shine” will release on iTunes December 6, 2011

New York, NY – (November 30, 2011) – The U.K. based hard-rock band, Starseed will debut their new single, “Shine” in the U.S. on December 6, 2011 through iTunes. Their soaring vocals and powerful melody will leave all hard rock and metal fans begging for more. The US release of Starseed’s album, Peace Machine, will be released early 2012. Starseed will also be in the U.S. for promotion early January.

Touring with bands such as Godsized and Senser, Starseed has also played major festivals alongside Rage Against The Machine, Rob Zombie, and Linkin Park. Most recently, they performed at the 2011 Download Festival. With these achievements, Starseed are also proud endorsees of PRS Guitars, Blackstar Amps, Tama Drums, Roland, Sabian Cymbals, Rotosound Strings, Protection Racket and TC Electronic.

Starseed, who includes Russell Spence (Vocals, Guitars), Gerald Gill (Guitar, Vocals), Peter Wicker (Guitar), Murray McClery (Bass, Vocals) and Andrew Spence (Drums, Vocals), produce some of the most satisfying melodic hard rock. Epic energy, powerful, and riff driven rock with electrifying stage shows, their music grasps many elements of the post grunge scene drawing influences from early Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains to the power and torment of Soil. More recent comparisons include the tenacity and energy of Stone Sour and intense melody of Alter Bridge.

Baltimore, MD rock band Evolver is gearing up for the iTunes release of their debut self titled album on November 8th through Thrive Music Group.  The album was produced, engineered and mixed by Brian Virtue (Chevelle, 30 Seconds To Mars, Jane’s Addiction) and mastered by Brian Johnson (Nickelback).

Evolver is a hard rock band hailing from Baltimore Maryland whose music is heavy and powerful with catchy wide-open vocal melodies. It was this combination that caught the ears of Union Entertainment Group Managers Dave Loncao and Kevin “Chief” Zaruk, who, upon hearing the bands demo and seeing them perform Live, immediately signed Evolver to a management deal.
