Alan Parsons had dabbled with live performance in his late teens as a folk/blues acoustic player and as a lead guitarist with a blues band in the late sixties. But as soon as he landed a job at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London at the age of 19, it became clear that the world of sound recording was to dominate his career. He was fortunate enough to work as assistant engineer on the last two albums by The Beatles and after he qualified as a fully-fledged recording engineer, he went on to work with Paul McCartney and The Hollies among many others. But it was his contribution as engineer on Pink Floyd’s classic Dark Side Of The Moon that really got him world attention. That soon led to striking successes as a producer – notably with Pilot’s Magic, John Miles’ Highfly and Music and Steve Harley’s (Come Up And See Me) Make Me Smile. He also produced the hugely successful Year Of The Cat album with Al Stewart and two albums with American progressive rock band Ambrosia. In 1975 he met Eric Woolfson who not only became his manager, but joined forces with Alan as a songwriting and performing partner for what became known as The Alan Parsons Project. The APP’s debut album, Tales Of Mystery And Imagination based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe paved the way for a signing to Clive Davis’ newly launched Arista label and a string of hit albums, namely I Robot (1977), Pyramid (1978), The Turn of a Friendly Card (1980), Eye in the Sky (1982), Ammonia Avenue (1984), Vulture Culture (1985), Stereotomy (1986) and Gaudi (1987). A brief venture into musical theatre resulted in Freudiana in 1990.The show ran for over a year in the historic Theater An Der Wien in Vienna. Eric and Alan then went separate ways. Eric devoted his career to the musical theatre while Parsons felt the need to bring his music to the live concert stage and to continue to record conceptual symphonic rock music. With his long-standing previous APP collaborators, guitarist Ian Bairnson, drummer Stuart Elliott and orchestral arranger Andrew Powell, Alan dropped the “Project” identity for Alan Parsons – Try Anything Once in 1994. The partnership continued for On Air in 1996 and The Time Machine in 1999. During this time the first incarnation of  “Alan Parsons Live Project” toured to sell-out audiences throughout the globe. Following Alan’s relocation to California, a new Live Project band was formed in 2003. The album A Valid Path, Alan’s foray into Electronica was released in 2004 and featured Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, The Crystal Method, Shpongle, Uberzone, PJ Olsson and Alan’s son, Jeremy. 2008 saw the reissue of all the Alan Parsons Project albums in expanded form, containing never-before-heard bonus material and a 2-CD compilation called The Essential Collection. One of the most familiar Project tracks is Sirius, perhaps best known as the Chicago Bulls theme and more recently as walk-on music for The New Orleans Saints at their triumphant Superbowl game in 2010. Alan’s latest venture is an instructional series about recording called The Art And Science Of Sound Recording. See www.artandscienceofsound.com. All Our Yesterdays, a song written especially for the series, features some of LA’s finest musicians and a rare performance by Alan on lead vocals. Alan lives in Santa Barbara, California with his wife Lisa and her two daughters, Tabitha and Brittni, four dogs, a lop-eared rabbit, and an 18-hand Clydesdale called Dante.

That Was Something started its humble beginnings as high school teenagers in the fall of 2003. A band always full of members with a true passion for making music. After 5 records, tours all over the U.S. and memories that will last a lifetime, That Was Something has prided itself on always staying on it’s own two feet with or without label support. The year of 2008 has been quite the year for the band. Between releasing their first record on a label (Lobster/Oort Records) titled BEARS!, which has sold over 6,000 copies in just 4 short months, and touring the great states non stop, it has been a whirlwind of a ride. Now members Bradley, JP, Mark, John, Ryan and Josh have put their focus into once again making a record that truly stands on its own two feet. That Was Something wants to make music that after all the trends, clothing and styles are over, still stands tall with an original pop sound that is still easy for people to familiarize themselves with. In a scene where it seems many bands are overnight successes, That Was Something is proud to say that they’ve been working their asses off for 5 years, and have no plan ..ping.

“Our partnership with Authentik Artists has been the most rewarding of my career in music. Scott and his team have developed a close, personal relationship with us as artists–a foundation from which our growing success was born.” –Ryan Hudson, Overbreaker “The world has gotten so much smaller and so has the music business in terms of only major labels getting most of the great content opportunities. The digital age has made independent artists like myself be able to stay independent yet get opportunities that even large artists would get thanks to the foresight and vision of Authentik Artists.  The fact is sales are not where artists will be able to make real dollars on their music anymore, its in the publishing and content and Authentik Artists is the wave of the future.  Anyone who says different is in denial. As a Producer it reinforces again how much the quality of the content should be good, and if so, it shouldn’t need tens of thousands of dollars to record and get opportunities to be heard.   Authentik Artists is also supporting a “greener” movement which I support by only releasing music digitally.  The next generation of musicians is utilizing exactly what Authentik Artists does as tools to work together as partners rather than your typical artist/label relationship.  I love it and could not be happier to be a part of their movement!!” –Zac Diebels, Automatic Static “Authentik Artists is small but mighty.  Scott Austin and Bob Bradley are two industry vets who know the music business inside and out; but more importantly, are aware of how quickly it is changing.  We Are The Arsenal began our relationship with Authentik when both the band and the company were in their infancy, but what drew us together was the potential we saw in one another.  In the time WATA has been working with the company, they have released our full length album and helped produce two of our music videos.” “They took that material and created far more value for it than we could have on our own.  We Are The Arsenal is in the process of recording a brand new EP that we will be releasing through Authentik this Summer.  Although there were other options, we chose to go with Authentik once again because in an ever-changing industry, they are already ahead of the game.  Where some companies are still trying to figure out how to survive, Authentik is thriving.  They have always made us feel like family and we wish nothing but the best for them as we continue to grow together.” –Ryan Terrigno, We Are The Arsenal “The folks at Authentik Artists are simply the most supportive team we’ve ever worked with — they’ve listened to every crazy idea, kept honest and positive communication with us, and have done an incredible job introducing our music to the digital realm. We look forward to our next release together in late Summer 2010!” –Josh Verbanets, Meeting Of Important People “Authentik Artists are some of the most hardworking, honest and intelligent individuals that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. In an industry where it’s so hard to find people you can trust, Authentik lives up to everything they say. It almost sounds like a commercial, but it’s the straight up truth.” –Mark Warren, That Was Something “The individuals in Big City Kids have been in and out of contracts/agreements for 3 years now and often have at least one negative experience because it’s just the business we’re all in right? Well, we can sincerely say that we have nothing but good thoughts and feelings about the Authentik Artists family and it is truly a step in the smartest direction for artists that are serious about taking their career to the next level. Keep making music friends!” –Emerson, Big City Kids “Scott has an incredible ear for new talent and his encouragement really gave me the motivation to do what I do” –Kate Voegele, Interscope Records recording artist “Scott has made a reputation for himself as a smart, creative executive. His transition from doing A&R at a label…gives him rare insight into the inner workings of the music business.” –Jason Flom, Music Executive and CEO (Universal/Republic, Capitol Music Group, Lava Records) “I’ve worked with a lot of A&R people over the last 30 years on such projects as The Killers, Fleetwood Mac and Chris Isaak and have found few with the dedication to their artists and the grasp of the recording process like Scott.” –Mark Needham, Producer/Mixer/Recording Engineer Multi-platinum act Marcy Playground‘s John Wozniak calls Scott “an A&R guy with good taste”

Graham Isaacson is not your typical singer-songwriter. This Portland, Maine native conjures memories of a young Johnny Cash or Tom Waits, yet with a lyrical eloquence all his own. Poignant, honest and touching are words that might describe Isaacson’s approach to songwriting and lyric crafting. With lines such as “In your endless eyes… A man can find his way”, Isaacson offers delicate words that complement his gravelly delivery. The Primer EP takes a contrarian approach to the polished, radio-ready sounds of most contemporary singer-songwriter records. The recordings that make up the EP were in fact made over the course of several years in a variety of environments including late night, whiskey-fueled jam sessions with friends such as Ray LaMontagne. Ray himself proclaims Isaacson’s songwriting “is something pure and true. It explores the hopeful, dark and mystical way of love.” One thing is for sure, Graham Isaacson cannot be mistaken for any other artist. The timeless sounds of The Primer EP will no doubt appeal to fans of classic artists such as Leonard Cohen, but will invite a future generation of folk-lovers to discover what inspired the genre to begin with.

Meeting Of Important People – “I likes me chirpy indie pop and right now I’m bathing in a whole album of the stuff courtesy of Pittsburgh’s Meeting of Important People (their self-titled debut).  Look around this album and you’ll hear potential college radio hits everywhere, and in their path there will be scores of undergrads pouring over the lyric sheet trying to make sense of their lives. Make no mistake this album is a finely crafted piece of music that saunters for a bit, teasing the listener until the expected honeyed chorus finally arrives.  It’s pretty clear that they will soon be breaking all the right hearts.”  – MP3 Hugger, June 2009 Meeting Of Important People Click to buy on iTunes (Special Limited $5.99 Price) Meeting Of Important People Click to buy on Amazon.com (Available Now) Meeting Of Important People on Myspace

We Are The Arsenal has posted a behind-the-scenes look at their new video for “Like My Body“. Check out the clip below.

“Portland has the biggest crush on Pete Kilpatrick… the new star of the [Maine] music scene,” says the Portland Phoenix. And judging by the wave of success the 23-year old singer-songwriter has had in the past two years – sharing the stage with such artists as Guster, Gavin DeGraw, O.A.R., Ray LaMontagne, Better Than Ezra, Blues Traveler and many more while also selling more than 17,000 records independently – it looks like the rest of the nation may find themselves just as smitten with him very soon. It seems all eyes are on Kilpatrick and his band whenever they are in the Great State of Maine, with the Portland Press Herald calling him, “The Maine Artist to Watch in 2007.” And now the rest of the country is beginning to peek in on the band’s music with steady internet CD sales and heavy MySpace traffic. ThisIsModern.net praised Kilpatrick as “the best kept secret in indie music.” But with a burgeoning fan base that is growing by the minute in New England and supporters sprouting up across the country and even over seas, it appears that the secret has been leaked rather massively.

Brandon Rogers recently did an interview with The LA Times for Idol Confessions. Watch as Brandon shares his thoughts on the new album and past memories of working with Idol hosts Ryan Seacrest, Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson. See below for the full clip.

The infectious dance-pop sounds of Blacklight Poster Children are infiltrating the playlists of cool kids everywhere. The duo behind the scenes of BLPC are long-established musicians in the LA underground music scene and the band recently scored a national campaign featuring their music with Zappos.com. “HIGH-LAND PARK COLLIEFORYA: Once upon a time called RIGHT NOW. We are living in the duel states of over stimulation and under-satisfaction, and up until now there hasn’t been a hybrid (electronic mash-up culture meets live funk-rock experience) act that lives up to the promise and opportunity of our still new – yet already dystopic – millennium. The walls of Babylon that once held up what we once knew as the “record companies” have been shaken down to foundation, scraps and rubble. Good riddance; instead of inspiring the youth, they were consuming, regurgitating them, and spoiling their creativity with repackaged, lifeless, flavorless crap. Recession, depression, repression? No, not for the BLACK LIGHT POSTER CHILDREN. They’ve gathered up their weapons (live-synths, live-breakbeats, live-vox, and live-noize) and a bunch of uppity friends and they’re ready to kick-start a more militant kind dance revolution. This is no game…this is the PARTY! MEET THE BLACK LIGHT POSTER CHILDREN?” Read the rest of the bio on the BLPC artist page.

Girl Meet Girl is an electronic/rock duo from Lisbon, Portugal. They released their new EP Angels With Filthy Souls on May 26th, 2009. Growing up in a conservative and religious household, brothers Marcio K and Luis K escaped to the city to experience the sex, drugs, and experimental lifestyles that only a major metropolis can provide. Their musical influences span everything from the synth pop sounds of Duran Duran and Depeche Mode to the heavier electro-rock of Nine Inch Nails and Orgy.

Brandon Rogers grew up in Altadena, CA, a quiet suburb just outside Los Angeles. Though his first group, Sounds Of Harmony, failed to be his ticket to superstardom, he has embarked on a unique journey that few could dream of. He has toured the world and shared the stage alongside iconic pop superstars including Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera and Anastacia. He was a a crowd favorite and emerged as one of the TOP 12 Finalists in American Idol’s Season Six Finale seen by over 35 million viewers. In 2008, Brandon’s new music came to the attention of friend and Authentik Artists CEO Scott Austin who quickly signed him to a recording deal. His debut single “Broken” was released August 19, 2008 and has received numerous features and critical praise due to the very heartfelt and timely message of the song’s lyrics.

The team over here at Authentik Artists wants to hear from you! It should come as no surprise that the daily grind of our music company can eat up most of the hours in the day, but our commitment to providing information to emerging artists is something we take seriously. We know many of you out there are hungry to learn more about how the industry works and provide your own insights into the modern music industry, so we have created an open forum to discuss your thoughts and questions using Twitter and Facebook. We will address your comments here on AA.com as soon as possible so check back often!!! In the meantime: Follow Authentik Artists on Twitter Add Authentik Artists on Facebook bennagel@authentikmusic “we started ‘pay what you want’ for our music rather then a set fee, and have already made way more than selling. why?” – There is a different mentality than in the past in relation to the value of music and how people like to attain new content. Many believe that music should be free and there are also those that have the means to purchase music they feel is worth their money. When presented with a “pay what you want” option like Radiohead recently tried it gave almost every fan on the planet the chance to hear their new album. This marketing technique will not always work the same for every artist, it really depends on the size of the band and the demand for their music. For an emerging artist it’s important have access to your music even if you have to give away a free song or two. The idea being that if the user likes what they hear, they are more likely to make an investment in more digital music, tickets to your live shows and merchandise. – Bob / Submitted by @bennagel LaughyTaffy@authentikmusic “.. why have i never heard any of the songs in the BB Top 10 right now? ” – I assume you mean the Billboard Top 10? Artists appearing on the BB Top 10 are acts that have risen to a high level of profile at radio and retail, representing the most active artists in both those arenas for the period of time in question. These Artists have typically been building their profile over the course of several years through hard work, timing and a bit of luck, and almost ALL of them have taken a multi-pronged approach to getting to where they are. One of the reasons you may not recognize anything listed is that you are a fan of more ‘indie’ music and perhaps mainstream pop/rock/r&b/hip-hop isn’t quite your thing. These genres tend to spawn sometimes quicker hits, yet without building a loyal fanbase in the process. This of course makes the Artist only as good as their next single which is a tricky proposition at best. It always comes down to great songs, but remember that your work ethic can truly dictate whether or not your fans stay with you! – Bob / Submitted by @LaughyTaffy

Below is a new question submitted to Authentik via our Twitter account. @mattmichalowskiI I just graduated college and moved out to LA to pursue a career performing music. Any tips for someone starting from scratch in a new city? – Matt, congrats on your recent move to Los Angeles and commitment to being a performing musician. I’m not sure what your ultimate goal is as an artist but my initial advice would be to find a few focus points and put all your energy into that. If one is hoping to have success as a live performer I would recommend a.) building a strong network of fellow musicians and event promoters that can help guide and inspire you to make smart decisions b.) focus on being a confident performer that can give a strong live show and can stand out from the other emerging artists c.) place yourself in the mindset that you are a business and that your career should pan out like a small company looking to grow over time d.) utilize social-networks like Twitter, Eventful and Facebook to create awareness surrounding your new LA shows and recorded material. Best of luck with your new adventure and hopefully we will see you at a show in the near future. – Bob Follow Authentik Artists on Twitter, Facebook and submit your questions and thoughts.

Budgets for our campaigns vary depending on client needs. We strive to offer the highest quality services at prices that the independent labels and artists can justify and afford. How long is a campaign with Authentik Marketing? Like budgets, the duration of our campaigns is dependent on how long we feel it will take to achieve the goals as outlined by our client. Our campaigns range from an initial press servicing of client content to more involved situations where creation and maintenance of online territory is requested. Am I guaranteed features and publicity? As with any legitimate marketing and publicity company, there is no guarantee of success. Authentik Marketing’s extensive network of contacts and resources in the online sphere provides direct access to taste-makers and the editorial staffs at online zines, sites, and blogs, and we are committed to securing all available features for our clients. What is online strategy? Our belief in creating online strategies is based on the fact that too many firms take a “shotgun” approach to press servicing. We seek to devise and implement strategies that will benefit the artist in the most effective ways, avoiding the mistakes and disappointment that commonly plagues emerging artists whose content is serviced to outlets that are either inappropriate or uninterested in developing acts. By creating online strategies, we create a plan that targets our audience and goals and execute accordingly. How are we different from large publicity and SEO firms? Unlike larger online marketing firms that emphasize quantity over quality, our focus is to create campaigns that will result in targeted exposure for our clients. Our commitment to online strategy creates awareness for our clients in relevant regions in the online world, providing the most efficient and effective solutions for PR and indexing in the world’s biggest search engines.

Across The Sun Brandon Davis (Vocals) Alan Ashcraft (Drums) Shane Murray (Keys) Colin St. Claire (Bass) Sam Hafer (Guitars) On record, ACROSS THE SUN’s undeniable talent is immediately obvious, but it’s their audacious live show that is perhaps their most prominent attribute. Maintaining a steady touring schedule has allowed the band to quickly build and maintain a sizable fan base. Thriving on the energy of the crowd,  ATS plays every show like it’s the most important they’ve ever played. Notes lead vocalist Brandon Davis, “We love going crazy onstage, our fans play a huge part in that. Getting them to participate in our show, sing along, and make them part of the action is essential. We have to let them know that they are part of us, of what we do, and we would be nothing without them. They can feel that and it makes our live show so much better in every way.” A few short years later, the band has released two highly acclaimed EP’s, garnered both local and national media attention, received radio play in one of the most skeptical markets and shared the stage with several national acts. Following their 2010 Authentik Artists release Pestilence and Rapture, ATS sparked the interest of several major labels, eventually graduating from Authentik Artists to Metal Blade Records in 2010. Across The Sun has had the honor of sharing the stage with: As I Lay Dying, August Burns Red, Haste The Day, The Acacia Strain, Winds Of Plague, Parkway Drive, Darkest Hour, Born Of Osiris, After The Burial, Misery Signals, I See Stars, For The Fallen Dreams, 36 Crazyfists, Sea of Treachery, Abigail Williams, The Classic Crime, Gwen Stacy, Arsis, Stick To Your Guns, Himsa, Oblige, Sinai Beach, The Absence, A Life once Lost, Dead To Fall, and many more…….

Download the EP HERE. “I get asked quite a bit about what inspires me to write music or specifically what my songs are about. “Uncovered” is simply me pushing the record button at my home studio and loosely talking about each song from my 2009 release, Self Portrait EP, along with a raw uncut/unedited performance with me and my guitar (I over-layed a second guitar part on each song for fun, but ended up keeping those parts on there for you). There’s no production, auto tune or re-takes on these rough mixes…I’m just giving this away to my friends and fans as a free download exclusively though Band Camp. Hopefully this collection and storytelling approach will give you a deeper appreciation for the songs on the record.”

What is JB’s own personal philosophy on life? “Good business is followed by good business.” If you treat others right then they’ll treat you right. A self-described driven, laid back guy, JB knows that it takes more than just raw talent to reach the top. JB started rapping when he was just 13 years old. His cousin Sam was the first to get him into entertainment. She pushed him to do talent shows and to perform, and even though she passed away, he’d gotten a taste of it and wanted more. During his young adulthood JB encountered tough times and grew up with a parent on drugs. Dealing with the harsh environment that comes with a family of addicts, he struggled to find his place in life. But after a brief run in with the law, he realized he needed to wake up if he ever wanted to rise above the problems he saw in the world. Even with his difficult background, JB chooses to be positively influenced by what he sees in the world and music around him. Sick of all of the aggressive music with no heart put into it, JB decided he wanted to give back to hip hop, not only as a person but as an artist. Creating his own fusion of different blends of genres, he describes “mob rock” as something for those both into rap or rock to enjoy; that allow those who didn’t want to get hyphy to still get aggressive. At first, JB began working with Z Rokk and Diamond Kid Records just to record a couple songs and they unexpectedly created distinct and diverse tracks. After many positive responses from all who came in contact with the music, JB became the first artist to be signed to Diamond Kid Records. JB has his own production company called BGK, the Black Global Kings. BGK was started by him and his cousin, to help give back to their hip-hop culture and to add real talent to the music scene. His hope is that he can use his company to help change the face of hip hop and become a prominent figure in music, not only as an artist but a businessman as well. None of this has gone to his head though and JB remains, as he puts it, “just black”. Not affiliated with any gangs, he chooses instead to be cool with everyone. He uses music to express his creativity and will jump out of as many boxes as he can as long as he can always get back home. For now his goals are just to live a good life, make some money, and feed his family. Be on the lookout because JB hopes to someday make BGK a global icon as well as to create his own free public black TV station that’s not on cable. Love Me Or Hate Me (EP) Available Now Diamond Kid Records | Authentik Artists Love Me Or Hate Me on iTunes Love Me Or Hate Me on Amazon MP3 JB on Myspace

We are proud to announce the signing of Hip Hop artist JB from Sacramento, CA and the formation of label Diamond Kid Records. JB brings a fresh approach to an over-saturated Hip Hop scene with forward thinking beats, lyrics and the new EP Love Me Or Hate Me which hits online retailers Feb 23rd 2010. This marks the debut release for JB and Authentik Artists imprint label Diamond Kid Records which was founded by producer and Automatic Static frontman Z Rokk. Z Rokk produced the EP and helped lend vocals to many of the rock/electronic influenced choruses. Check back on JB’s official Myspace, Twitter and Facebook to get the latest updates. Official Artwork, Tracklisting and statement from DK Records below… 1. Good Life Feat. Z Rokk 2. Plastic Feat. Frank White 3. A Game! Feat. Frank White 4. Bubbly Feat. Nicole Solarez 5. Love Me Or Hate Me (Remix) 6. Love Me Or Hate Me ” We at Diamond Kid Records along with our partners at Authentik Artists are proud to present JB, our first signing and the first Hip hop signing to the Authentik Artists family. JB is the REAL DEAL. A kid from Oak Park in Sacramento California, JB has been in the hip hop game since he was a small kid. Rapping on street corners with his friends and navigating his was through a tough street life, JB has emerged himself into the story teller he is today with a twist. JB loves many different types of music and when he producer/songwriter/ Z Rokk began to produce his album JB was determined to put a new stamp on the hip hop world and give back to the music he has loved his whole life. He brought with him an eclectic sound that fuses together heavy guitars, melodic hooks, and almost “electronica” instrumentation into the classic street hip hop sound. When you think of JB many artists may come to mind. He shows hilights of 50 meets Linkin Park meets MSTRCRFT meets Cypress Hill meets Deftones. Truly Unique and a new movement JB likes to call “Mob Rock!” His new EP “Love Me or Hate Me” brings this sound with a furry of hooks and compelling lyrics that tell the story of a young man’s journey from the street to the music world of today. We at Diamond Kid Records are proud to put JB in the spotlight he deserves and are overwhelmingly excited for his release of “Love Me or Hate Me” as we want to spread his unique and new sound to the hip hop world and the music world at large.” – Z Rokk

Come On, Come On formed in October of 2009 when two friends Kelvin Cruz and Justin Powell decided to combine forces once again musically and make a song that would become known as “Life’s Been More Than Fair.” Kelvin and Justin are no strangers to making music with each other. Both are formerly of the Chino Hills, screamo/rock group A Thorn For Every Heart. Cruz and Powell have been making music together for eight years now which makes for no surprise of the chemistry that was quickly found writing for Come On, Come On. Now only six months later the two have written, self recorded, produced and engineered their debut six song EP titled “Pop Fiction.” They have pulled together a vast amount of influences with everything from Queen to Jimmy Eat World to The Black Eyed Peas which has lead to their pop/rock/electronic unique but modern sound. The band has just signed with Authentik Artists and are preparing for a May 2010 release of “Pop Fiction.” Come On, Come On – Pop Fiction Available May 11, 2010 Come On, Come On EP on iTunes (Coming May 2010) Come On, Come On EP on Amazon MP3 (Coming May 2010) Come On, Come On on Myspace

Bringing together two radically different musical styles, Hands Like Glass set out to unite the pulsing and rhythmic beats of trance with the powerful and fierce drive of melodic metal to create a groundbreaking sound soon to captivate the ears of all who hear. Founding members Jimmy Amaya (guitars) and Ces Linares (bass) set out to create a hybrid style of music which brings a fresh edge to the otherwise exhausted post-hardcore scene. After a few unsuccessful vocalists, Jimmy saw promise and potential in the abilities of singer Mason Premo, whose style and flow brought a catchy and powerful attitude to the mix. The group was then blessed with the addition of synth player/songwriter Jopasety Castillo, which reinforced and solidified the bands trance element. Longing to fill the spots of second guitarist and permanent drummer, the group turned to Eddie Intagliata and Cory McMahan who recently departed from their more traditional metal outfit. With a complete lineup, Hands Like Glass got to work creating an innovative and dynamic blend of ambiance and attack. Hands Like Glass – EP Available May 18, 2010 from Authentik INK. Hands Like Glass EP on iTunes (Coming May 2010) Hands Like Glass on Myspace

Authentik INK is proud to announce the signing of Los Angeles, CA band Hands Like Glass.

We Are The Arsenal will soon be entering the studio with producer Justin Powell to record the follow-up to their 2009 album They Worshipped The Trees. Below is a statement from band vocalist Ryan Terrigno. “We hit the studio on Wednesday to begin tracking drums with Justin Powell for the new “mini-album.” We’ll be in the studio a total of 8 days this month tracking everything.  The 6 songs are definitely We Are The Arsenal songs, but are a noticeable and natural progression from “They Worshipped The Trees.”  We feel the songs are powerful enough and represent such a large step forward for the band that we aren’t referring to it as simply an “EP.”  This is definitely the next official release from the band and we don’t see why we won’t flip the industry on its head and release another mini-album towards the end of the year!  I’ll be the first to admit that it’s a tragedy that the “album” seems to be dying these days, but we’re going to embrace it!  As you know, it’s all about putting out great music more often! We’re sticking with some familiar themes lyrically but also branching out into some new territory questioning life, God, and the world around us! We’re also borrowing some ideas from an old Ray Bradbury short story for the album title.  We couldn’t be more excited.” We Are The Arsenal – “There Will Come Soft Rains” 1. Cities By The Sea 2. Circling Vultures 3. Hey Little Girl 4. A Stranger To Everyone Else 5. Fairytales 6. Like History

Singer songstress Justine Bennett grew up amongst artists and hippies in the mountains of British Columbia, listening to the folk songbirds of her piano teaching mothers generation. As a late teen, she packed her things and moved to San Francisco. After years of playing on the streets where she lived, Justine recorded her debut album “Invisible”, which synched every song to television and afforded her performances at legendary venues such as the Fillmore in SF and the Troubadour in LA. Her most recent work, “Heavy Feeling” is a mystical folk rock album, capturing her North Country influences and hauntingly unique vocal timbre. There’s something vintage in her angelic alto voice, that recalls other singing sirens, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks and Natalie Merchant, from rocks golden ages. Producer Chris Seefried (Rosanne Cash, Low Stars) along with musicians David Immergluck (Counting Crows, John Hiatt) and Don Heffington (Emylou Harris, Ricky Lee Jones) have adorned this record with loose instrumental embellishments, creating songs that feel lived in and music that is timeless.

Mikey Sabatella is a Singer/Songwriter from Pasadena, Ca whose style is heavily influenced by music from artists such as Eddie Vedder, Ben Harper, Link Wray and Andrew Bird.  Mikey has taken a new approach to his debut record ‘A Life in the Day’ by writing it based on an “instinctual approach”;  strumming chords, writing lyrics, formulating each song with a one take mentality and creating a very honest sound.  Mikey is no stranger to traveling, touring, and writing records. He has been playing and recording music for over 13 years and has toured across the country and parts of Japan. “Out of all of the experiences I’ve had, I take three things with me whenever I write: connection, family, and friends.” All beliefs he has touched on many times in his new music.

Michael Lowman is a singer songwriter born in Durban, South Africa. He grew up in a home filled with music from iconic artists such as The Beatles and Eric Clapton, and although no one in his family apart from his father played a musical instrument, Michael developed a huge love and appreciation for the art form. When he was just ten years old his father was killed in a car accident and it was around this time that he started to view the world through a different set of eyes. An older set of eyes. The next few years would prove to be some of the hardest of his life. He has often said that these were his “material gathering” years, and although he didn’t know it at the time the songwriter in him was taking shape. He started playing guitar at the age of 17 and started singing and writing songs shortly after. Michael, now just 23, sounds like someone who has been playing all his life. Growing up in South Africa seems to have grounded this musician and given him a different perspective on how the world works, and it certainly comes across in his personality and in his music. In July of 2009 Michael sent Scott Austin (CEO of Authentik Artists) an email seeking advice from someone “in the know” – someone who he later described as being relatable and surprisingly approachable – In the email Michael also sent Scott the links to some recently uploaded YouTube videos. The two began emailing back and forth and to the amazement of both men, each had found something worth holding onto. After just a few months of planning, fund raising and songwriting, Michael found himself on a plane to Las Vegas ready to dive head first into his dreams. Michael arrived in Las Vegas on December 16th 2009 and over the next few days, with the help of producer Mark Needham (Fleetwood Mac, The Killers), Scott Austin and some incredibly talented musicians, the “dream team” set out to record six songs in the comfort of the Studio at The Palms – music and lyrics by Michael Lowman. With his gift for storytelling and an underlying rhythmic and melodic sense on guitar, this young man just might be the next “real deal” to hit the music scene. Producer Mark Needham (Fleetwood Mac, Chris Isaak, The Killers) along with musicians Chris Chaney (Jane’s Addiction, Alanis Morissette) Dave Palmer (Chris Isaak, Fiona Apple) Robin DiMaggio (Paul Simon, Steve Vai) and Eric Schermerhorn (Seal, Iggy Pop) Michael Lowman on Myspace —————– In My Own Words (June 8, 2010) Purchase the EP on iTunes (Coming June 8, 2010) Download Album Cover Here Download Press Photo Here

After our whole lives spent on making music and being in bands we have found our voice. We have figured out the message that we want to convey to all of you, and the story we want to tell.

Authentik Artists is proud to announce the signing of The Break Mission from Brooklyn, NY. We will be digitally releasing their new 13 track LP Alpha on June 22, 2010. The band have posted the new track “Thieves” on their Myspace page along with a behind-the-scenes clip of their recording and recent touring using the mentioned track. Alpha was produced by Ben Lindell (MGMT) and the band has been previously featured in Spin, The Boston Globe, CMJ and on a national compilation distributed by Starbucks. Fans of bands like Doves, Band Of Horses, Elliot Smith and Fleet Foxes will appreciate their diverse and forward-thinking indie rock sound. “We just found out about this trio….The music sounds and feels passionate, and the instrumentation is beautiful.” – mog.com

The Break Mission had humble beginnings—two best friends who heard Pearl Jam’s Ten many years ago and decided they couldn’t both keep playing drums. Matt won out, and Jeff picked up his dad’s guitar and began writing terrible songs. Over the course of nearly twenty years, the sound matured as they began carving out a musical identity. In 2001, they moved to Boston and formed Redletter with their immensely talented friends Dave Murray and Richey Tally on guitar and bass guitar respectively. Redletter released two EP’s, the second of which, entitled “The Spirit and the Chemicals,” received significant press and radio play, earning them a coveted “band to watch” tailwind. In 2005, the band changed their name to The Break Mission, signed a record deal with New York City label RoHo Records, and went into the studio with the masterful Dan McLoughlin (The Push Stars, Buffalo Tom, Weezer) to record their self-titled debut. Shortly after, Matt and Jeff moved to New York City. In the wake of their debut for RoHo, the song “Hold On” was included in a national compilation for Starbuck’s, and media outlets such as Boston Magazine, SPIN magazine and Clear Channel praised the album. They quickly followed up with As Much Light As It Will Take in 2007, enlisting the help of friend-turned-engineer-turned-new bassist for the band “Wild” Bill Wathen. Critics and fans alike described the album as sublime, anthemic and refreshing, however it was also the last that the four original members of Redletter would make together, and a year after its release, drummer Matt Hershey and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Jeff Knowlton were at a crossroads. Just as the fate of the band felt in jeopardy, Jeff got the good news that his old friend Ben Lindell was moving to New York City from Miami. Ben, a talented musician, producer and engineer brought new life to the band’s dynamic and after the first rehearsal together, there was no question that they had discovered something. In 2009, the trio self-released The Prospect EP, and the accompanying video for the track “Come By,” and introduced a beautiful and inventive new sound. Here we are in 2010, and Ben, Jeff and Matt have a new record called Alpha. They are also happy to announce that L.A. based label Authentik Artists will be releasing Alpha on June 22. There is an expectation, along with a formidable optimism that their finest days are ahead. Thank you to everyone who has supported The Break Mission since its inception to now. Your love and support is never lost.

Alan Parsons had dabbled with live performance in his late teens as a folk/blues acoustic player and as a lead guitarist with a blues band in the late sixties. But as soon as he landed a job at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London at the age of 19, it became clear that the world of sound recording was to dominate his career. He was fortunate enough to work as assistant engineer on the last two albums by The Beatles and after he qualified as a fully-fledged recording engineer, he went on to work with Paul McCartney and The Hollies among many others. But it was his contribution as engineer on Pink Floyd’s classic Dark Side Of The Moon that really got him world attention. In 1975 he met Eric Woolfson who not only became his manager, but joined forces with Alan as a songwriting and performing partner for what became known as The Alan Parsons Project. The APP’s debut album, Tales Of Mystery And Imagination based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe paved the way for a signing to Clive Davis’ newly launched Arista label and a string of hit albums, namely I Robot (1977), Pyramid (1978), The Turn of a Friendly Card (1980), Eye in the Sky (1982), Ammonia Avenue (1984), Vulture Culture (1985), Stereotomy (1986) and Gaudi (1987). A brief venture into musical theatre resulted in Freudiana in 1990. Eric and Alan then went separate ways. Eric devoted his career to the musical theatre while Parsons felt the need to bring his music to the live concert stage and to continue to record conceptual symphonic rock music. With his long-standing previous APP collaborators, guitarist Ian Bairnson, drummer Stuart Elliott and orchestral arranger Andrew Powell, Alan dropped the “Project” identity for Alan Parsons – Try Anything Once in 1994. The partnership continued for On Air in 1996 and The Time Machine in 1999. During this time the first incarnation of  “Alan Parsons Live Project” toured to sell-out audiences throughout the globe. Following Alan’s relocation to California, a new Live Project band was formed in 2003. The album A Valid Path, Alan’s foray into Electronica was released in 2004 and featured Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, The Crystal Method, Shpongle, Uberzone, PJ Olsson and Alan’s son, Jeremy. 2008 saw the reissue of all the Alan Parsons Project albums in expanded form, containing never-before-heard bonus material and a 2-CD compilation called The Essential Collection. One of the most familiar Project tracks is Sirius, perhaps best known as the Chicago Bulls theme and more recently as walk-on music for The New Orleans Saints at their triumphant Superbowl game in 2010. Alan’s latest venture is an instructional series about recording called The Art And Science Of Sound Recording. See www.ArtAndScienceOfSound.com. All Our Yesterdays, a song written especially for the series, features some of LA’s finest musicians and a rare performance by Alan on lead vocals. Alan lives in Santa Barbara, California with his wife Lisa and her two daughters, Tabitha and Brittni, four dogs, a lop-eared rabbit, and an 18-hand Clydesdale called Dante.

Meeting of Important People is a three-piece garage-pop band from Pittsburgh, PA. The band’s debut single “Mothers Pay More” ignited a media and blogging frenzy in the Summer of 2008, and their 2009 debut album on the Authentik label has been named a top release by several blogs and radio stations, including influential station WYEP-FM. MOIP’s new summer 2010 EP release “Quit Music”, a pleasant little collection of creepy suburban garage-pop songs, now has even more folks listening intently worldwide. The band has recorded with producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron&Wine), has starred in a heavily-viewed cardboard city music video, traveled extensively, gained airplay on terrestrial and satellite stations, and has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Ok Go, The Secret Machines and Sam Roberts Band. Several of their songs have even been heard in high-profile television shows and films, if you listened closely enough. MOIP keeps the loud parts loud, the pretty parts pretty, and the people happy.

Hailing from the Philippines and the U.K., RAG RAG consists of brothers Glen Ragrag (lead vocals), Michael Ragrag (drums, percussion, backing vocals), Christopher Ragrag (keyboards, backing vocals) and joined by Norbert Ace Gayanilo (lead guitar, backing vocals). 2008 was a breakthrough year for RAG RAG when they were invited by Britain’s Got Talent semi-finalist Madonna Decena to play for the Pacquiao vs. Cotto after fight party held at the Mandalay Bay Concert Hall in Las Vegas, an event to honor world champion boxer Manny Pacquiao’s seven world titles in different weight divisions. It was through this meeting and performance that the band was inspired to write the official theme song for Manny, with the aptly titled “Fighting Pride (Pacquiao’s Theme)” featuring a special guest vocal intro by Pacquiao himself. “FIGHTING PRIDE (Pacquiao’s Theme)” was recorded at Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas and The Record Plant in Los Angeles in the summer of 2010 and features Madonna Decena on vocals. The single will be released worldwide digitally on iTunes and other major online retailers in late 2010 and is currently available as ringtones on mobile carriers now.

We Are The Arsenal In a time when CD sales are down and the music industry’s future is unsure, We Are The Arsenal holds fast. While younger bands are dropping like flies due to economic hardships and market saturation, WATA thrives. What keeps this Orange County rock quartet on the rise as others fade? Hard work and keeping it real. Plain and simple. Oh, and the explosive live show couldn’t hurt. Following the demise of former international touring acts, the members of We Are The Arsenal joined forces in early 2007 and immediately began writing what came to be known as the “Trees” EP. This five song juggernaut was self-released by the band in a limited 1,000 pressing in February 2008. It has since gone out of print but it quickly gained the attention of major Japanese record label Radtone Records as well as Los Angeles based Authentik Artists. Both of whom took a vested interest in the band and went on to release We Are The Arsenal’s debut full length album entitled “They Worshipped The Trees” in March of 2009. The band has since been touring non-stop in support of the album including stints with Angels And Airwaves, Senses Fail, A Skylit Drive, I Am Ghost, and Amber Pacific. In June of 2009, WATA threw their official Cd Release show at The House of Blues Anaheim pulling in a staggering 500+ of their dedicated fans and friends. Word quickly began spreading throughout the southern California area and We Are The Arsenal was being asked to headline other major venues such as The Grove of Anaheim and The Viper Room in Hollywood. 2009 and 2010 have also brought WATA to the airwaves (both radio and television) with the World Famous KROQ consistently spinning the band’s first single “So Long”. This in addition to multiple other rock stations in Las Vegas, San Diego, and the Inland Empire picking up the band’s cover of Pat Benatar’s “Love is a Battlefield”. We Are The Arsenal was also featured as KROQ and Bud Light’s “Local Band Spotlight” in May 2010 receiving commercial airplay approximately every half hour throughout the month. To compliment the increasing radio play, MTV began featuring the band’s music on network shows such as “Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Ruins”, “The Hard Times Of RJ Berger”, and “Parental Control.” The band’s music video for 1st single “So Long” enjoyed its world premiere in November 2009 on Fuse.TV and has since been featured on MTVU’s “The Freshman”, VH1.com, and Spike.com. Both of WATA’s videos (including 2nd Single “Like My Body”) are currently being featured around the country in retail stores such as Nordstrom, Macy’s, Tilly’s, Steve Madden, and Journeys. As for other platforms, the band’s track “Sound The Alarms” will be featured in an upcoming MotoCross video game on XBOX 360 and PS3. In a time where labels are having trouble monetizing art, We Are The Arsenal is navigating steady and sure through the uncertainty and exploring new avenues of expression and expansion. A tireless work ethic and a true love and passion for the art of music is what has kept this group of individuals together for the past 3 years. “We’re at the point in our lives now where if these songs didn’t mean everything to us, we wouldn’t be doing it at all” said the band when questioned for this bio. “We’ve already accomplished more than any kid with a dream could ask for, but this is only the beginning.” With 2010 moving along swiftly, We Are The Arsenal is ready and planning their attack. Having just completed tracking their new 6 song EP entitled “There Will Come Soft Rains”, WATA kicked off the Summer with a KROQ Locals Only Showcase at The Roxy in Hollywood with Bleed The Dream. The band has spent the scorching Summer months playing regional shows and prepping for their 2nd official release. Fans of the band will find an immediate resemblance to the WATA of old but also a noticeable progression on “There Will Come Soft Rains.” The six tracks on the album still hold firm to the band’s trademark melodic aggression and brutal gang chants, but also introduce more of a calm beauty found in bands like Jimmy Eat World and Death Cab For Cutie. “It’s an exciting time for We Are The Arsenal! We couldn’t be happier with these new songs and we can’t wait to hit the road this Fall to play them for all our amazing friends across the country!” September finds WATA hitting much of the Southwest US with plans of hitting the rest of the country and Europe in the months to come.

Stress Monkey Alliance is the project brainchild of composer Robert Morris, who was born and raised in New York City. Robert was a musician from a young age starting with violin, though it was the influence of his older brothers’ record collection that led him to learn guitar. In high school his science teacher, noting his ineptitude in physics encouraged him to pursue his musical talent. Robert attended Mannes College for Music and Manhattan School of Music in addition to studying with private instructors, and he has worked professionally as a musician from the age of 15, as an engineer, producer and session player. As a pioneer in composing 3-D music Robert Morris has directed his focus and talent to the improvement of multi-channel Surround Sound. In 1998 he started looking for a new way to present music that would go beyond the industry standard of surround sound. Robert’s goal was to completely envelop the listener in three dimensionally rendered music. Rather than using surround sound solely for mixing and ambience, Robert developed an instrument that allows him to compose and render music in three dimensions. The end result is a lush sonic environment for any consumer and industry application that employs surround sound. Stress Monkey Alliance’s new release “Parts Unknown” comprises ethereal sounds that are sure to appeal to fans and music supervisors everywhere.

Storming from coast to coast is Cincinnati, Ohio’s The Upset Victory, electrifying audiences with their live performances and capturing the minds of listeners with their stellar recordings. With five EPs already in the books and a growing presence throughout the national music scene, this five piece outfit pumps out an intoxicating blend of punk, metal, and pop to create a unique, exciting sound. Since their inception in 2006, the team of Stephen Campbell (guitar), Frank Hammonds (guitar/vocals), Eric Vice (bass), Jason Dill (vocals), and Aaron Roy (drums), has developed their chops, skill, and influence considerably. They quickly inked a deal with Takeover Records, who released their self titled EP in 2007, which was immediately followed by “Between the Walls and the Worlds that Sleep”. Their latest release, “The Awakening”; an aggressive, sleek two song EP was handled by the burgeoning Recover Records, and features their latest single, “Actions.” Even more impressive than their phenomenal material is the band’s white knuckled, in-your-face approach to playing, flexing their rock muscles across the country at events such as Vans Warped Tour, Midpoint Music Festival, and Taste of Cincinnati Festival. As they continue to soar skyward, The Upset Victory has opened up for and shared the stage with some of the country’s hottest acts such as Bayside, Story of the Year, MxPx, We Came as Romans, and Beneath the Sky. While drawing comparisons to groups such as Saosin, Saves the Day, and Thursday, The Upset Victory caught the attention of national recognized label mates, Yellowcard. “It’s like Thrice and Iron Maiden had a bastard child with Motley Crue,” said Warren Cooke, former bass player for the violin wielding pop-punk unit. The band was also featured in AMP Magazine’s “Top 8 Bands You Should Be Blastin’!” which was just one of many accolades The Upset Victory saw from their peers, radio DJs, label executives, and publications such as Myxer.com, CiN Weekly, and Sound Collective. “The Upset Victory defines work ethic for an emerging band. This band is as talented and humble as any band I have seen, and that enables them to have a modern sound that is their own,” said David Adam Monroe, President of Recover Records and Time Bomb Studios. The Cincinnati five-some is showing no signs of slowing down, as they are already tirelessly working on material for their upcoming debut full length record. Look for The Upset Victory on tour soon, and all five of their EPs are available from digital retailers such as iTunes, Amazon, and Interpunk. Their latest release, Before The World Ends will be available May 22nd from Authentik Artists.

Eddie (Guitar) Cory (Drums) Mason (Vocals) Ces (Bass) Jimmy (Guitars) Bringing together two radically different musical styles, Hands Like Glass set out to unite the pulsing and rhythmic beats of trance with the powerful and fierce drive of melodic metal to create a groundbreaking sound soon to captivate the ears of all who hear. Founding members Jimmy Amaya (guitars) and Ces Linares (bass) set out to create a hybrid style of music which brings a fresh edge to the otherwise exhausted post-hardcore scene. After a few unsuccessful vocalists, Jimmy saw promise and potential in the abilities of singer Mason Premo, whose style and flow brought a catchy and powerful attitude to the mix.

“Portland has the biggest crush on Pete Kilpatrick… the new star of the [Maine] music scene,” says the Portland Phoenix. And judging by the wave of success the 23-year old singer-songwriter has had in the past two years – sharing the stage with such artists as Guster, Gavin DeGraw, O.A.R., Ray LaMontagne, Better Than Ezra, Blues Traveler and many more while also selling more than 17,000 records independently – it looks like the rest of the nation may find themselves just as smitten with him very soon. It seems all eyes are on Kilpatrick and his band whenever they are in the Great State of Maine, with the Portland Press Herald calling him, “The Maine Artist to Watch in 2007.” And now the rest of the country is beginning to peek in on the band’s music with steady internet CD sales and heavy MySpace traffic. ThisIsModern.net praised Kilpatrick as “the best kept secret in indie music.” But with a burgeoning fan base that is growing by the minute in New England and supporters sprouting up across the country and even over seas, it appears that the secret has been leaked rather massively.

In a time when CD sales are down and the music industry’s future is unsure, We Are The Arsenal holds fast. While younger bands are dropping like flies due to economic hardships and market saturation, WATA thrives. What keeps this Orange County rock quartet on the rise as others fade? Hard work and keeping it real. Plain and simple. Oh, and the explosive live show couldn’t hurt. Following the demise of former international touring acts, the members of We Are The Arsenal joined forces in early 2007 and immediately began writing what came to be known as the “Trees” EP. This five song juggernaut was self-released by the band in a limited 1,000 pressing in February 2008. It has since gone out of print but it quickly gained the attention of major Japanese record label Radtone Records as well as Los Angeles based Authentik Artists. Both of whom took a vested interest in the band and went on to release We Are The Arsenal’s debut full length album entitled “They Worshipped The Trees” in March of 2009. The band has since been touring non-stop in support of the album including stints with Angels And Airwaves, Senses Fail, A Skylit Drive, I Am Ghost, and Amber Pacific. In June of 2009, WATA threw their official Cd Release show at The House of Blues Anaheim pulling in a staggering 500+ of their dedicated fans and friends. Word quickly began spreading throughout the southern California area and We Are The Arsenal was being asked to headline other major venues such as The Grove of Anaheim and The Viper Room in Hollywood. 2009 and 2010 have also brought WATA to the airwaves (both radio and television) with the World Famous KROQ consistently spinning the band’s first single “So Long”. This in addition to multiple other rock stations in Las Vegas, San Diego, and the Inland Empire picking up the band’s cover of Pat Benatar’s “Love is a Battlefield”. We Are The Arsenal was also featured as KROQ and Bud Light’s “Local Band Spotlight” in May 2010 receiving commercial airplay approximately every half hour throughout the month. To compliment the increasing radio play, MTV began featuring the band’s music on network shows such as “Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Ruins”, “The Hard Times Of RJ Berger”, and “Parental Control.” The band’s music video for 1st single “So Long” enjoyed its world premiere in November 2009 on Fuse.TV and has since been featured on MTVU’s “The Freshman”, VH1.com, and Spike.com. Both of WATA’s videos (including 2nd Single “Like My Body”) are currently being featured around the country in retail stores such as Nordstrom, Macy’s, Tilly’s, Steve Madden, and Journeys. As for other platforms, the band’s track “Sound The Alarms” will be featured in an upcoming MotoCross video game on XBOX 360 and PS3. In a time where labels are having trouble monetizing art, We Are The Arsenal is navigating steady and sure through the uncertainty and exploring new avenues of expression and expansion. A tireless work ethic and a true love and passion for the art of music is what has kept this group of individuals together for the past 3 years. “We’re at the point in our lives now where if these songs didn’t mean everything to us, we wouldn’t be doing it at all” said the band when questioned for this bio. “We’ve already accomplished more than any kid with a dream could ask for, but this is only the beginning.” Having just completed tracking their new 6 song EP entitled “There Will Come Soft Rains”, WATA kicked off the Summer with a KROQ Locals Only Showcase at The Roxy in Hollywood with Bleed The Dream. The band has spent the scorching Summer months playing regional shows and prepping for their 2nd official release. Fans of the band will find an immediate resemblance to the WATA of old but also a noticeable progression on “There Will Come Soft Rains.” The six tracks on the album still hold firm to the band’s trademark melodic aggression and brutal gang chants, but also introduce more of a calm beauty found in bands like Jimmy Eat World and Death Cab For Cutie. “It’s an exciting time for We Are The Arsenal! We couldn’t be happier with these new songs and we can’t wait to hit the road this Fall to play them for all our amazing friends across the country!.” We Are The Arsenal on Myspace —————– There Will Come Soft Rains EP (Available Now) There Will Come Soft Rains on Itunes (Purchase) Download Album Cover Here Download Press Photo Here They Worshipped The Trees (Available Now) Purchase the LP on iTunes Purchase the LP on Amazon (only $6.99)
