AUSTIN, TX -- 08/29/08 --
Disney's Hollywood Records, home to The Jonas
Brothers, Breaking Benjamin and Miley Cyrus, recently welcomed alternative
rock band, Alpha Rev, to its roster. An established favorite in the
southwest region, the band made the deal official on August 18th.
"Hollywood Records and the Disney family get it," says frontman Casey
McPherson. "We are working with a creative and like-minded company here,
we are stoked, and can't wait to share the music with more people."
Alpha Rev has been described as "Tom Petty meets Radiohead with Beethoven
paying a visit." The combination of rock guitar riffs and pop with
classical overtones captivates a crowd. No stranger to touring, the band
has played arenas, clubs and festivals, opening for acts like Blue October
and Big Head Todd and the Monsters.
"Honestly, I haven't enjoyed an Austin club concert more. The Rev had a
full house pulsating with social connection," says Austin
American-Statesman's Entertainment Editor, Michael Barnes, on a recent
Alpha Rev show at the famous Antone's.
Earlier this year, Austin Monthly Magazine pegged Alpha Rev as one of the
top 8 bands to watch in '08.
Fans can find Alpha Rev on iTunes. "Colder Months," which garnered
McPherson an American Songwriter of the Year award, is one of the group's
deep-reaching songs about romance, loss and the search for truth.
The band is currently in pre-production for their upcoming Hollywood
Records release -- slated for 2009 -- and share samples of what's to come
on their myspace page www.myspace.com/alpharev. With the deal inked with
Hollywood, Alpha Rev will gain worldwide exposure. They are rounding out the
year with shows in the mid/southwest US and a high-profile show with Willie
Nelson and friends.
