Select Start's "The New Atlantic" Available On Itunes

Click to enlargeTampa, FL’s Select Start is thrilled to announce that their EP The New Atlantic, is available on iTunes starting today, May 20.

The EP can be purchased at: http://bit.ly/jpc4In.

The New Atlantic is the six-piece pop rock band’s second EP and a testament to the musical growth they’ve undergone since their 2008 debut The Rotary. Produced by Lee Dyess (Mayday Parade, From First To Last, Go Radio) the seven track EP combines singer Daniel Lancaster’s stunning vocal prowess with the band’s ingenious ability to compose soulful tracks with an organic feel. From upbeat riffs and catchy choruses to a six part harmony a capella finale, The New Atlantic is a perfect example of everything contemporary pop music should be.

Select Start / The New Atlantic Track List

1. A Man Amongst Gentlemen

2. Hands to the Ceiling

3. Read Black and White

4. Only You

5. The (Pretty) Good Life

6. Hold Your Ground

7. So Far

Fans can keep updated via the band’s YouTube blog, www.youtube.com/selectstarttv. The band has also just posted a new teaser video for the new EP. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ec-pCO0tg0&feature=youtu.be&hd=1.

“Not only is their music catchy, stage performance tight, energetic and on point, they are fun to have because they make every show feel like a house party.”

- Kevin Burns, owner of The Talent Farm

After the long journey through evolving from three piece garage punk to four piece pop punk to five piece synth-infused power pop, Select Start has finally found their true calling and sound as a six piece alternative rock and indie pop wonder. Based in Tampa, Florida the crew spent seven years touring and releasing music independently before signing to Unrivaled Management (Go Radio). Named one of the “Top 21 Unsigned Artists” by tastemaker site Purevolume, the boys have toured consistently with acts such as Mayday Parade, School Boy Humor, The Dangerous Summer, The Scenic and many others.

Currently, Select Start is pushing forward, hitting the road harder than ever, and bringing their infectious blend of power pop to anyone in their path. The band recently completed a supporting stint on Mayday Parade’s headline tour and their latest tour with Go Radio, Sparks the Rescue and This Century winds down May 28 in Tallahassee, FL.

Select Start is Daniel Lancaster (Vocals/Guitar), Joe Guerra (Vocals/Guitar), Jason Polo (Guitar), Matt Reisinger (Keyboards/Vocals), Adam Loper (Bass), Patrick Guyer (Drums). 

Select Start has launched a special pre order featuring special bundle options at: http://www.districtlines.com/Select-Start.

Click to enlargePhlamencore Records proudly announces the release of “Voices”.  This digital single is now available on iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/voices-feat-marc-rizzo-roger/id434674303 )

This song is the second single from the highly anticipated CORETEZ EP that features Marc Rizzo (Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy) and vocalist/percussionist Roger Vazquez. An acoustic version of the song “Fade Away” was released last month and was the first release from Coretez since the song “Five Months” appeared on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre soundtrack in 2003.

A new Coretez song will be released in a digital format every month for the next 4 months.

Asking Alexandria Release New Single Through Itunes

Click to enlargeIt's not that often you find a hard rock/metal artist simultaneously burning up the iTunes Rock charts and Electronic charts, but that's exactly what the UK sensation ASKING ALEXANDRIA is currently doing. Their highly acclaimed new album, Reckless and Relentless, remains in the top five on the Rock charts as the group released their recent collaboration with world renowned musican/producer, Borgore on April 19^th. The aforementioned track is a remix of their cult hit, “Final Episode.” This remix immediately shot up the electronic charts and is a must have for any die-hard fan.

Borgore, a musician from Tel Aviv, Israel, is best known for translating his love for melding genres into being a producer of what he calls "gorestep." He describes his music as commercial American hip-hop and death metal being played through various farm animals. Needless to say that this is going to be a collaboration for the ages.

This version of “Final Episode” is also going to be featured on ASKING ALEXANDRIA's much anticipated Stepped Up And Scratched remix album that is set for a summer release. This disc will feature remixes from Noah D, KC Blitz, J Rabbit, and more to be announced over the coming weeks.
