Neulore
NEULORE was formed in Nashville, TN in the Autumn of 2009 to tell stories of hope. After releasing a well-crafted EP, "Apples & Eve", they have begun to take their heartfelt songs to the masses. With a live show that not only entertains, but affects, leaving the audience with a sense that anything is possible, Neulore is captivating the hearts of all who draw near. Describing their sound as "truth in modern tones" and boldly stating that "the new folk music has arrived" they are firmly rooted in the tradition of community, the pursuit of wisdom, and the telling of timeless stories from a fresh perspective.
Empires
Empires have emerged from the deep freeze of Chicago with a collection of tunes imbued with a thick-skinned Midwestern charm. "Orphan" – the band's upcoming album on Chop Shop / Island Records has producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, The Black Angels, Explosions in the Sky) at the helm, perfectly capturing a band in their truest form. Empires are out on the road this winter & spring – with stops at SXSW and various festivals – introducing songs from the new album, including the debut track 'How Good Does It Feel'.
Bootstraps
Harvest Records announces the re-release of Bootstraps' self-titled debut album on February 18th. The band will start a three night residency at Los Angeles' legendary downtown venue Hotel Café on January 29th (performance schedule below). Recently signed to Harvest, Bootstraps have remixed and remastered their eponymous album for re-release, showcasing a new chapter for the buzz band. Music from the album has been featured on televisions shows such as ABC's "No Ordinary Family," "Private Practice" and "Betrayal, NBC's "Parenthood", and more. Bootstraps was named Amazon MP3 "Rising Star" of 2013 and included on Rdio's Best of 2012 list, while Paste Magazine compared them to Ray LaMontagne, with hints of Bon Iver and Band of Horses.
The self-titled album was recorded by Skip Saylor (Tom Petty, Wilco, Suicidal Tendencies) in Northridge, California after actor/director Sam Jaeger asked Beckett to write songs for his award-winning film Take Me Home. The band spent one day in the studio recording songs live, in an attempt to capture raw moments. The result led them to return for four more sessions, tracking three songs a day to complete the record with the help of Richard Dodd (Kings of Leon, The Raconteurs).
Formed in Los Angeles by Jordan Beckett (vocals, guitar, piano), Bootstraps also includes Nathan Warkentin (drums and vocals) and David Quon (guitars, piano, and vocals). The band's name is a play on the expression, "pull yourself up by the bootstraps."
Busy Living
Los Angeles rock/pop outfit Busy Living was formed in early 2012 after frontman Mike Moonves left his former band, Chief (Domino). Writing songs of love and heartbreak, Busy Living heavy lyrics are complemented by their upbeat melodies. Rounded out by Jared Sohnen's pounding drums, Tim Hutton's strong bass, Matt Leddy's hooky and atmospheric keys and Drew Phillips' melodic guitar playing, Busy Living brings an energy packed live show that is truly an experience. Busy Living released the "It's a War Out There!" EP in the summer of 2012 and plan to release their second EP in late 2014.
