ABUSED ROMANCE’sentire debut album SHINE–produced by Justin Gray (Joss Stone, INXS) and mixed by Randy Staub (Metallica, U2)–is now available for free download at http://www.abusedromance.com. The powerful quartet who can swing from ethereal to abrasive in the space of the same song recently shot a video for their new single “Overcome,” which has hit #41 at Active Rock. The group teamed with director Robby Starbuck (August Burns Red, The Sounds, Silverstein) for the concept video which depicts frontman MEIR battling an evil version of himself. Watch the full clip for “Overcome” here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlsTSak0h40.
Next up, ABUSED ROMANCE—MEIR YANIV (Vocals, Guitar), AMIT OFIR (Guitar), AETAM JAKOB (Bass) and ROY CHEN (Drums)–will head out for a spring U.S. tour with fellow rockers Egypt Central that kicks off June 1 in Augusta, GA and wraps on July 3 at Summerfest in Milwaukee. The band are known for delivering blistering live performances, and the Orange County Register raved: “The Israeli-bred, L.A.-based heavy rock band gave their all and totally blasted the space with thunderous songs from debut EP The Sound of Violence. (Already receiving mainstream and alternative radio airplay in SoCal). Far more aggressive live than on the EP, both singer/guitarist Meir Yaniv and bassist Aetam Jakob shook their long hair in unison to the power chords as lead guitarist Amit Ofir continually rattled off monster riffs (1/18/2011).”
