![]() Artwork: Holly Turner NEW YORK, NY | MAY 31ST, 2019 - Electronic alternative rock band VISTA have released a brand new single, "Electric Souls," out on all digital music platforms NOW. Fresh off the release of their March single "Eat (I Must)," a spring tour (On The Hunt: Part II), and a newly announced summer tour (Electric Souls tour), VISTA is writing their own rules on "Electric Souls." Written about connecting with someone through matching career drives, "Electric Souls" highlights an extensive and continuous evolution for VISTA. On “Electric Souls,” the band continues to toy with various electronic elements, weaving them into their alternative roots and delving further down into a seductive identity. The track is a clear progression - VISTA tears down their own boundaries with each release, digging themselves deeper into active rock experimentation. An electronically-tinged alternative rock band, NY-based outfit VISTA originally formed in late 2015. Comprised of lead vocalist Hope Vista and guitarist Greg Almeida, the band combines both modern alternative rock and electronic influences to create their unique sound. VISTA released their debut 4-track EP “VERSUS” shortly after their original inception, in which their debut single “On The Brink” debuted worldwide on idobi radio. Their name hasn’t been shy in the press, since; the band has garnered praise from outlets such as Alternative Press, Rock Sound, Substream, and AXS. In 2017, VISTA supported Fueled By Ramen artist Against The Current at Irving Plaza, gained idobi rotation with their single “Henchmen,” and completed two headlining US tours to support their 2017 sophomore EP "Long Live," which upon release made its’ way onto three different iTunes charts. Most recently in 2018, VISTA released two singles, “Witch Hunt” (earning 150,000 Spotify streams) and “Born For Blood”, completed their third US tour “The Bloodlust Tour,” and played multiple support dates with Set It Off (Fearless Records). “Witch Hunt,” produced by ZK Productions, premiered worldwide on idobi radio and earned video rotation in Journeys’ stores nationwide. VISTA's first single of 2019, "Eat (I Must)," released in March, narrates the inner turmoil and guilt felt by lead vocalist Hope Vista throughout her personal struggles with both body dysmorphia and an eating disorder. With “Eat (I Must),” VISTA’s signature dark, synth-laden rock sound is still present, but lyrically, the band approaches the haunting track with the goal of sparking a larger conversation about the danger of eating disorders and cultivating a safe, open forum for listeners. After completing their 4th US tour, "On The Hunt: Part II," the band announced their upcoming 2019 summer tour, "Electric Souls" as well as a corresponding single of the same name. "Electric Souls" is available on all digital music platforms NOW. You can catch VISTA on the Electric Souls tour this June and July. All dates can be viewed below.

![]() PROVIDENCE, RI | MAY 24TH, 2019 - Brand new dark pop artist Viana has announced the upcoming release of her debut single, "Wine & Roses," out on all digital music platforms June 7th, 2019. Most known as lead vocalist of the recently disbanded funky pop rock band Royal Street, Viana transforms into her own on "Wine & Roses"; it's fierce, unconventional, and pristine. As the release date for the single nears, Viana grows increasingly excited to unveil her solo creations. A self-described 'dark alternative-pop' artist, Viana fashions an eerie, yet riveting sound on "Wine & Roses". Viana has been singing ever since she can remember. She was born in the summer of 1993. Raised on church gospel, classic rock and a touch of jazz , Viana’s vocals have morphed through the years into a sound uniquely hers. A decade of fronting pop-punk bands, starring in local musical productions and dabbling in some moderate witchcraft have been integral in the formation of the ethereal melody-machine that is Viana. Viana’s sound can best be described as dark alternative-pop. Enchanting beats, flawless vocal runs and syrupy sweet lyrics are enough to wake the dead and get even the saddest bones moving. Her influences include other unique and strong female singer-songwriters such as Maggie Rogers, FKA Twigs, Billie Eilish, Phoebe Bridgers and of course, our lord and savior, Beyoncé. With a style influenced by a combination of being a sucker for a catchy melody, yet still bringing a natural edge brought on by years of fronting rock bands, paired with her giant doe-eyes and freckles, Viana’s presence is one to pay attention to. Her gifts were shared while touring with past bands Sienna and Royal Street, playing to small groups in basements, and to crowds of 2,000+ enthusiastic and captivated show-goers. Viana’s mission through music is to connect with all people and remember that self expression should be about going with your gut and listening to your own instincts. Growing up in a female fronted band always striving to be the next big thing brings an unnecessary pressure. These days, she creates what she wants and what feels most comfortable for her, and wants to help her listeners do the same. After ten years of collaborative work, Viana’s fierce independence has led to the shedding of her past skin and the incubation of this unapologetically Viana project: new, strange, and no-fucks-given.

Having released two introductory singles earlier this year, "Behind Those Eyes" and "Mama Always Told Me," HAAS has been spending time crafting and perfecting their energetic pop/rock fusion. The 5 tracks pull from sentimental places; "Didn't Raise No Man" stems from heartbreak, lyrically speaking about feeling obligated to put your passion on hold for somebody else, while "Home" confronts a tragic loss and openly discusses suicide. Lead vocalist Sam Haas spent all of 2018 writing the narrative that developed into "Love & Loss," taking time to evolve sonically. Although just their debut record, HAAS knows their sound (think of a modern Kelly Clarkson/The Veronicas/Ashlee Simpson combo), and takes it on with passion. "Love & Loss" will be promoted with an EP release show at Jammin' Java (Vienna, VA) on June 10th. HAAS is a pop/rock band from Virginia. The name HAAS stems from lead vocalist Sam Haas, who decided to pay tribute to not only her family name but her late grandfather who inspired her through his music. After years of playing around with names and ideas, HAAS became the official name in 2018. Through the use of catchy melodies, rhythmic guitars, and expressive lyrics, HAAS has been able to marry the pop/rock sound. The group uses music not only as an outlet for themselves, but want the music to be an outlet for others. They draw on personal hardships, such as loss, strained relationships, bullying, depression, and anxiety, but also hardships within the world today. HAAS strives to promote a place of safety and inclusivity, where it is okay to be who you are and forget about the real world for a minute. HAAS has discussed being bullied and scared of being who they are and by embracing themselves, they hope to inspire others to do the same; “love who you are and don’t be afraid to do the things you want.” Their debut EP "Love & Loss" is available on all digital platforms NOW.
