Total Assault News for 8/21

 Here is some information that Total Assault thought was particularly breaking, but was not long enough to merit a full article:

This week marks the long awaited second album from Texas’ own Eisley. Combinations finds the band, made up of 4 siblings and one cousin, pushing their brand of britpop influenced songs into far more orchestral areas. The Duprees worked with film composer and former Oingo Boingo keyboardist Richard Gibbs at his Woodshed Studios in Malibu, CA. The producer helped the quintet explore their more avant-garde impulses on songs such as “If You’re Wondering” and even their rootsier influences on “Ten Cent Blues.” The band is gearing up to support the album with a tour with Mute Math which kicks off in September.

 

Combinations is out now on Reprise Records

Pop rockers, Rooney, have been named “You Oughta Know” artist by Vh1! The Southern California quintet continues to make waves with the release of Calling The World featuring the single “When Did Your Heart Go Missing” and the Vh1 nod is just the latest for these guys. Other artists recognized by Vh1 include Feist and Amy Winehouse.
