 TULSA, OK | MAY 18TH, 2018 - Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, rock band NeoRomantics blend well-structured indie rock with emo elements on their brand new EP “Homecoming,” out TODAY on all streaming platforms. The 5-track collection acts as a beautiful contrast of sorts; while arranged much like a pop record, it is far from one. The record’s lyricism delves into an array of personal topics about relationships, including abandoning those that are toxic, growth, and parental influence on trust. “Homecoming” is the perfect display of the band’s eclecticism, particularly the lead single “Concentrated,” initially released in January. A well-produced and sleek combination of 2000’s emo and mainstream indie rock elements, “Homecoming” is sonically pleasing to the ear, heavy on the heart, and simultaneously thought provoking. Based in Tulsa, OK, NeoRomantics, four piece rock outfit, was founded by Hagen Pavey and Daniel Anthony Castleberry, in the summer of 2014. Along with staking a claim in their hometown, becoming the first local band to sell out the Tulsa venue, The Vanguard, they have created a following throughout the Midwest and other parts of the country with their shimmery, textural rock sound. Ever since they began touring in the spring of 2016, following the release of their first record 'Dearly Beloved', the band has served as ambassadors to the Tulsa scene on the road as well as lending a hand in building the DIY scene at home. In January, 2018, NeoRomantics resurfaced with their single 'Concentrated', a darker, more mature take on their previous work which landed them a nod from Alternative Press. Their new EP, 'Homecoming' (2018), as unconventional as it is pop-structured, floats somewhere in the space between indie-rock and the emo revival. “Homecoming” is available NOW. https://open.spotify.com/album/6Aj9OhsmbGJn6CcfTvLQCP?si=aWn4BtvxRkycfW8ppYMPOQ “Homecoming” stream link CONNECT WITH NEOROMANTICS: Http://www.facebook.com/neoromanticsmusic/ Http://www.twitter.com/neoromantics/ Http://www.instagram.com/neoromanticsmusic/ Http://www.neoromantics.bandcamp.com/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/3sMamQ67ohq6mfn2hS3tDi?si=BRI1SuU4 All press inquiries, please contact: hope@258PR.com

NEW YORK, NY | MAY 2ND, 2018 - Based in Yonkers, NY, alternative rock duo Shakeout have dropped a special video for their single “Small Talk.” While not a music video, “Small Talk” shows the intricate set-up of the band, giving viewers and listeners alike an inside look at how they perform live. A different approach to a live show, Shakeout relies on live looping to achieve their distinctive alternative sound. The “Small Talk” video shows firsthand how this process works, playing through the track and showing the looping at different angles so viewers can see from all facets. The track was originally featured on their most recent body of work, their January 2018 EP “Pt II,” a four-track collection. Although containing only 2 members, Shakeout successfully (and wonderfully) gives their live set a seasoned, full-band feel, a feat that not many can cleanly execute. About the video, the band states: “Shakeout is our way to push the boundaries of what two musicians can accomplish in a live setting. "Small Talk" is a perfect example of a song that includes all the elements of a full band such as guitar riffs, a bass line, drums, and vocals that even include harmonies performed by just the two of us. None of the guitar parts, bass lines, or vocal harmonies are pre-recorded; we have really pushed ourselves to be a live rock band. But most importantly, we're just two guys looking to write songs that are fun and we just want to have fun playing them." Shakeout is a two-piece alt/punk band from Yonkers, NY, that formed at the tail end of 2016. With experimentation at the core of the band's songwriting, they take influence from a multitude of genres including punk, pop, and hip-hop. Through the use of live looping, multiple amplifiers, and a powerhouse drummer, the band's unique and dynamic live show creates the illusion more than just two dudes named A.J. in the lineup. With a DIY ethos and only about a year of shows under their belts, the band has self-released two EPs and played throughout the northeast region of the U.S. including appearances at LAUNCH Music Conference in Lancaster, PA, as well as an upcoming performance at this year's NYC Punk Island. They will be continuing their travels through the rest of 2018 and beyond as they get ready to release their third EP and then enter the studio to record new material at the end of June. https://youtu.be/hkCw6R2Xuvg Shakeout: “Small Talk” live video http://sptfy.com/F6u Shakeout: “Pt II” EP stream link CONNECT WITH SHAKEOUT: Website: www.shakeoutny.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/ShakeoutNY Instagram and Twitter: @ShakeoutNY All press inquiries, please contact: hope@258PR.com |
