VIDEO FOR DEBUT SINGLE “LOSIN’ IT” FROM ROCK BAND
FALLBROOKE
ALREADY VIEWED OVER 500,000 TIMES
SINGLE NOW BUZZING AT RADIO
With over 500,000 views of the video for their debut single “Losin’ It” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxOJY9RnVA0) and over 320,000 profile views of their MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/fallbrooke), Los Angeles-based rock band FALLBROOKE is seeing what making a fresh, contemporary video can do for a group. The song, which showcases the band’s youthful spirit, addresses online social networking. The video is shot from a webcam point-of-view and features Mandy Jiroux, of The Miley and Mandy Show, as one of the teens involved in an online romance.
The much-buzzed-about “Losin’ It” has been receiving airplay at Top 40 stations nationwide including WXYK in Biloxi, MS, KRCK in Palm Springs, CA, CKEY in Buffalo, NY, WZEE in Madison, WI, WJIM in Lansing, MI, WHTS in Grand Rapids, MI, KVTI in Tacoma, WA, WWKZ in Tupelo, MS and KQID in Alexandria, LA with new stations joining each day.
FALLBROOKE is signed to indie label RMR Music Group, whose president Paul Palmer–co-founder of Trauma Records (Bush and No Doubt)–was so impressed after hearing a couple of songs by the band, he flew the group to Los Angeles from their native Florida and began working with them two years ago. “At Trauma, we believed in artist development, working with No Doubt and Bush from the ground-up,” says Palmer. “And what we’re doing now is just the same, but we are embracing new media technology, with a creative video and an album that does the band’s music justice.”
FALLBROOKE’s self-titled album was released February 17 via iTunes and Amazon. The band–singer/guitarist ERIC MCNEELY, singer/drummer KEVIN SCHWARZ, bassist AUGUSTO VEGA and lead guitarist CHRIS GUSTIN–worked with famed song writing production team Antonina Armato and Tim James (Mariah Carey to Miley Cyrus) which resulted in an album with great songs and interesting sonic underpinnings. Stand out songs include the guitar-driven rock track “Take Me Under,” which builds to a hard-hitting finish, “Losin’ It” and “Condition Response,” the album’s commanding, emotional ballad. McNeely’s vocals will draw you in and take you to another place, then leave you wanting more.
FALLBROOKE was originally formed in Florida by MCNEELY and SCHWARZ in the summer of 2005.
