Fermata Debut

Just Rock PR reports: Los Angeles Rock/Alternative band FERMATA announces the imminent release of their new 6-track EP "Vessel", for release on L.A.'s Doughmain Records. Produced by Mark Renk (Matchbook Romance, Panic At The Disco) and mixed by Fred Archambault (Avenged Sevenfold, Death By Stereo, Eighteen Visions), this recording marks the band's debut on a whole new level of musicianship and care for their craft. 

Named for the mark in music theory meaning "stop" or "hold" over a note, FERMATA has seemingly done nothing of the sort, as is demonstrated by their increasingly momentous list of performances alongside artists like The Vandals, Kottonmouth Kings, Alien Ant Farm and Prong. Enlisting the help of Shane Drake (Fall Out Boy, Hawthorne Heights, Halifax, Poison The Well, etc.) for a brand new video to coincide with the release, FERMATA is well armed for their full U.S. tour which launches April 1st[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Danko Jones

Razor & Tie reports: Danko Jones' new release "Sleep is the Enemy," out on Razor & Tie May 23rd.
