Built For The Sea:
"True to its name, San Francisco's Built for the Sea crafts lush indie-rock that is at once dreamy, hypnotic, and emotionally powerful." --Kathleen Richards, East Bay Express
In just two years, Built for the Sea's oceanic indie rock has earned them spots at the SXSW Conference, San Francisco's Noise Pop festival, and the Live 105 studios. The Bay Area quartet released their self-titled debut in 2006 with a sound that lands somewhere between Radiohead, Norah Jones, and The Cranberries. Live 105 DJ Aaron Axelsen praised their music as "very mesmerizing, very hypnotic."
Overview:
Post-alternative? Atmospheric indie-prog? Overview doesnt draw easy comparisons, so its only fitting that a band this unique deserves an equally unique genre description. The EP "Forty-Four Stone Tigers" proves that Overview is one of those rare bands that can be both poppy and cerebral at the same time. Mainstream pop fans and music nerds alike will find common ground with this record. While popsters bounce along with Melancholy in the City, music aficionados will get tingly spines from the epic composition of tracks like Desert Sand. One listen to this record and youll miss half of its genius. Make no mistake: this is a challenging, arty record. But dont tell the bands 14-year-old teenybopper fans. Theyre content just singing along.
The Hundred Days:
"One of the best bands to hit the Bay Area this year..."-SFWeekly.
The Hundred Days have been part of the bay area music scene since 2004 and are the latest project from the production team (Jeff Saltzman/Mark Needham) behind The Killers and The Sounds. They receive regular airplay on San Francisco's Live 105 and are on the Top 5 Live 105 Soundcheck listener requests. Currently The Hundred Days are working on their 2nd album with Michael Patterson (Beck, She Wants Revenge, Ladytron).
Silian Rail:
Silian Rail is Robin (guitar) and Eric (drums, glockenspiel). They are long lost friends who grew up together in Durham, North Carolina and parted ways at 13, only to re-meet accidentally years later in California. Drawn together by the shared history of their musically rich hometown and the sheer oddball luck of the situation, they began playing music together. They found it quite delightful, and have kept on keeping on since then, playing with numerous incredible bands, including From Monument to Masses, Maserati, Tartufi and Judgement Day; releasing a self titled album and various hand printed eps; performing original live scores for the Madcat Women's International Film Festival; and proudly being a part of the Thread Productions music collective.
They are also honored to be invited to participate in this most recent Rose Hill Collective release.
Cold Hot Crash:
In less than a year and a half, Cold Hot Crash has managed to release a full length album, perform at (and sell out) countless venues in the bay area, and clench the title of “Best local band” in Live 105’s Not So Silent Night event- earning them the opportunity to open for The Shins, Modest Mouse, The Raconteurs, and The Killers. Their momentum and fan base continues to grow as more and more people attend their live performances. Catch one of their shows soon, you’ll see why Cold Hot Crash doesn’t just attract hard rock fans, they attract music fans. |
