This Is Just The Beginning
I spend a lot of my time working on the development and growth of young bands. The second these bands reach a certain level of success where they are known outside of Texas, it’s always the best feeling. In the past I have helped bands like Memphis May Fire, In Fear & Faith, Ivoryline, Red Car Wire, and more break out of Texas and onto the national scene in a big way. Lately I have been working with a great team of people on a group of young bands we all believe in. A few weeks ago one of my dudes, JD Dunlap saw that I was looking for a new band to work with that was more than just a “development and growth” level band, a band that was already there and I would have some proving to do to get them to want to work with me. He suggested a band from San Antonio called Through Arteries. At first listen, I knew this band had something special and I knew that they were going to be a hot band, really quick. The first thing I did was get them to send me an advance copy of their new EP “This Is Just The Beginning…” to me. Naturally, I sent it around to my team, and needless to say, everyone freaked out a little. I spoke to the band about joining Evolve Management and The Phoenix Agency for booking and they were stoked on it, with very little hesitation. Finding a band I was absolutely stoked on and having them already know all about what I do was such a great feeling. In the past few weeks, we have gotten the band featured on Alternative Press’ website for an EP stream, their music video has been released and is close to 20,000 views in less than two weeks, their YouTube channel has passed over 111,000 streams thanks to the music video and release of the EP, and their EP came out today and is currently climbing the Top 200 Rock Chart on iTunes at around #150! All of my team is backing me on this band and big things are about to happen. I am so excited for the band and for my Evolve and Phoenix Agency team. If you live in Dallas you can see them Friday at Hailey’s in Denton (event info) or June 2nd in Frisco, TX with Crown The Empire and more (event info). It means the world to me all the support and help I have received on this band, I really hope all of you will continue supporting them, buy the EP, share the video, everything you can. This is just the beginning…
USN2K12 UP & COMING ARTISTS!
One of the coolest things about doing Unsilent Night has always been reuniting acts that I love to play one last show. Terminal and As Cities Burn reunions were literally priceless to me. The other cool thing about Unsilent Night though, is and always will be, introducing brand new bands to the music scene. In the past we have brought bands to Texas for the first time like Breathe Carolina, The Medic Droid, The Word Alive, and tons more. That being said, we are starting our 2012 promotion for Unsilent Night a little backwards. We want to put a heavy focus on up and coming artists that deserve some extra love. These are not necessarily brand new artists, but they are definitely “Up & Coming” artists that deserve more attention. Today at 5pm we announced the first few artists for Unsilent Night 2012. Below is a list and a little bit of information about them. Please check out these artists, get familiar, and hold yourself over with some new music before we get to the headliners :)
