Alesana 2009 World Tour

Alesana

 

Alesana is thrilled to announce a 2009 US/Europe/Russia Tour starting in March and continuing for three months through the beginning of June!  The tour will kick off on March 6th in the states at Gramercy in New York City, continue on to Europe in April, and wrap up in St Petersburg Russia on June 7th.  This tour will hit almost every major city as they play over 75 dates.  Supporting Alesana on the US tour will be Drop Dead Gorgeous, Fear Before, and I Set My Friends On Fire, and With Grace We Fall.
 
The Raleigh, NC natives have had a busy and rewarding 2008, and they are more than ready to take over 2009.  As their latest album, Where Myth Fades to Legend, blasts into the eardrums of screamo and hardcore rockers around the world, they continue to climb the charts and catch the attention of many.
 
Alesana will also be making a couple of stops in Japan in February as well as in Australia for this year’s annual Soundwave Festival.

Funeral Party Heads to the Studio!

Release Monday, December 15th:
East Los Angeles- Funeral Party will be heading into the studio today to start the recording process for their first full-length album, set to release on Fearless  Records in Spring of 2009.

Funeral Party

Funeral party will be working again with producer Lars Stalfors , the engineer on the most recent Mars Volta full-length album “The Bedlam in Goliath.” Lars also produced Funeral Party’s debut EP “Bootleg.” They will be recording at a Los Angeles studio where Mars Volta frequently rehearses and records their material.  Also joining the band in the studio is special guest drummer Alfredo Ortiz, current drummer for Latin rock-band Ozomatli, and the studio drummer for the popular Beastie Boys.

The full-length record will be a follow up to Funeral Party’s three track EP “Bootleg,” which was released in November of 2008 and features the tracks, Carwars, NYC Moves to the Sound of LA, and Chalice.

Funeral Party opened for LA Weekley’s Detour this October, alongside Justice, Cut Copy Moving Units, The Faint, Mickey Avalon, and more.  They have had club dates and tours with artists such as Yelle (Astral Werks) and Friendly Fires (XL Records.)

Funeral Party has a sound all their own…it is melodic without being overly poppy, with a lyrical tone that is perfectly forceful, without being overbearing. Stay in the loop with their latest studio updates at www.myspace.com/funeralparty

Artist Vs Poet EP In Stores!

11/18/2008 – Today is a monumental day for five driven individuals from Dallas, Texas, also known as Artist Vs. Poet, as their debut, self-titled EP, hits stores everywhere.  The album was recorded this year at The Tree Fort Studios in Los Angeles, CA with renowned producer Mike Green (Paramore, The Higher, Danger Radio).  Buzznet will be streaming the EP, in its entirety, all week and offering a free downlowd of Runaway.  Click here to listen to Artist Vs Poet.
 
The EP will include five tracks featuring a fan favorite Runaway, which is a song about escaping it all.  “This song really connects with fans and gets them energized,” says Craig Calloway. Another crowd favorite is Assurance Closure, which is “a song about having the right kind of closure, and feeling good about it,” according to Craig.
 
The EP will also feature tracks Lisa Marie, Infallible Remedy, and All In; a special acoustic track, which is dedicated to “persistence and the thought of never giving up,” according to vocalist Tarcy Thomason.  “We decided to make this song acoustic because it’s a little more personal that way,” says Tarcy. “It can be kind of discouraging sometimes when bands first start up.  This song is about just going for what you want really hard and the feelings of finally achieving it.”  In this case, that “something” just happened to be their recent successes as a band.
 
Although Artist Vs Poet is fairly new to the Fearless Records family (Plain White T’s, Mayday Parade, The Maine), their music and tour schedules show they are a mature band destined for the stage like the others.  Don’t miss them as they come through this month on the Atticus Walk The Plank Tour, with headliners, The Classic Crime, and supporting acts A Change of Pace, and Lower Definition.

The Maine Premiers on MTV

The Maine

 The Maine gets ‘Everything They Ask For’ as their new music videos premiers on MTV.
 
The Maine debuts their first music video “Everything I Ask For” on MTV Networks Wednesday, November 19.  This song is one of the most popular songs on their recent full-length album, Can’t Stop Won’t Stop.  
 
On November 19, “Everything I Ask For” will premier and play every hour for 24 hours on mtvU, Hits and mtv.com.  Directly following the premier the video will begin rotation as part of Discover and Download, the promotion that allows viewers to watch the video and download the song.  This six-week promotion will give The Maine prime placement on all MTV channels (MTV, MTV2 mtvU, Hits, mtvU.com) and credit squeezes during regularly scheduled programming.
 
The video, directed by Matthew Stawski (Fall Out Boy, Anthony Green), is a true original in design and form.  The scene takes place with The Maine rocking and mocking models, who are gracefully strolling down the runway in not so classy attire. With that being said, “Everything I Ask For,” leaves room for hilarious surprises and unexpected endings.
 
This is not the first time The Maine has been exposed to the MTV audience.  Tracks off their recent album, Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop have premiered on shows such as The Hills and Making The Band 4.
 
The Maine was named one of the “100 Bands You Need to Know in 2008,” by Alternative Press Magazine, and as they continue to appear on more and more mainstream media, this young pop-rock quintet, Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop, any time soon.
They have recently toured with Boys Like Girls and Metro Station and are currently on tour with All Time Low and label mates Mayday Parade.
