Epitaph Records signs HEARTSOUNDS

2010-03-22T12:03:00.001-04:00

Official Press Release:

Epitaph Records is proud to announce the signing of San Francisco based punk rock group Heartsounds. The band is scheduled to open up for punk legends and labelmates Bad Religion at House of Blues in West Hollywood, CA, on March 25 and House of Blues in Anaheim, CA, on April 2.

Formed from the ashes of now defunct melodic death-metal band Light This City, Heartsounds consists of founding members Laura Nichol (guitars/vocals) and Ben Murray (guitars/vocals) who after growing tired of banging heads decided to return to their true love...punk rock.

"Laura and I have always been first and foremost, punk rock kids as well as intensely dedicated fans of the genre," says Murray. "From the time before Light This City started, our favorite bands were Bad Religion, Strung Out, Good Riddance, etc. It is actually the precision and technical proficiency of those kinds of bands that inspired us to push our abilities even further into the metal genre. However, upon getting burnt out playing such heavy music, we decided to return to our roots and finally write a punk record!"

Blending the speed and precision of heavy-metal influenced punk rock like Strung Out and Propagandhi, with the more melodic and mid-tempo sensibilities of Hot Water Music and Bad Religion, Heartsounds' music is a throwback to 90's punk rock and 80's thrash metal updated with a style all their own. Epitaph owner and president Brett Gurewitz took notice of the band in late 2009 and immediately expressed interest in signing the band.

"Epitaph has always been one of our favorite labels, going as far back as to when Laura and I were 13 years old," Murray adds. "That being said, when Brett Gurewitz emailed us one day expressing interest in Heartsounds, we knew right away that we were the luckiest band on earth! From there, we flew down to LA to meet with everyone at the office, and were treated incredibly well. Everyone at the label is so impressive with their respective positions, and most importantly, they seemed to be genuine fans of their bands! That experience only further solidified our feeling that Epitaph would be the absolute perfect match for Heartsounds. With such an impressive roster of artists, both past and present, as well as years of experience creating the punk rock sound that directly influenced our musical formation, we couldn't ask for a better home!"

Stay tuned to www.myspace.com/heartsoundsband for information on Heartsounds Epitaph debut coming this summer!

Mar 25 - West Hollywood, CA - House of Blues (w/ Bad Religion)
Apr 2 - Anaheim, CA - House of Blues (w/ Bad Religion)

Good Fight Music signs THE CONTORTIONIST

2010-03-22T12:01:00.000-04:00

Official Press Release:

We are pleased to welcome Indianapolis, Indiana’s own THE CONTORTIONIST to the Good Fight family! THE CONTORTIONIST have worked hard to earn a loyal hometown following through consistent regional shows, bi-coastal touring, and two self-released EPs. Their ability to dole out their sounds to epic proportions in a live setting caught our attention, so in early 2010, shortly after we had caught them live, a deal had become imminent.

Guitarist Robby Baca had the following to say about working with Good Fight: “We are very excited about joining the Good Fight family. We are confident that their experience in the record industry is exactly what we need to make what we love doing our career. We look forward to fighting the Good Fight."

THE CONTORTIONIST have tapped UNEARTH’S Ken Susi to produce their debut full length album in early Spring of this year. When asked about what drew him to the band Susi said the following, "THE CONTORTIONIST is not your typical/run of the mill band. Lots of bands in this day and age are copy cats or just plain old rip offs of other bands. This is truly an original band, from the overall look, sound and structure of the songs.”

THE CONTORTIONIST plan on releasing their album in mid to late Summer of 2010, with tours all across the US leading up to and surrounding the release.
