DecembeRadio named face to watch

NASHVILLE, TN. (Spring Hill Music) - DecembeRadio, the rock band recently signed to Slanted Records, the rock/pop imprint of Spring Hill Music Group, has just been named one of ten "Faces to Watch," according to the cover story of the January 7th issue of BILLBOARD Magazine.

The "Faces to Watch" artists were picked by ten of BILLBOARD Magazine's editors based on either having "highly anticipated debut albums ready to come out in the first quarter" or were considered to be "under-the-radar and...expected to explode at any moment," according to the magazine.

"I can't remember the last time a new band caught our attention and enthusiasm like DecembeRadio has," stated Vice President of CBA Sales for Word Distribution Jim Nehs. "The guys played our sales conference in December and rocked the house! Our team is still talking about it."

Based in Blacksburg, Va., group members Josh Reedy, Brian Bunn and Eric Miker bring a unique style of rock 'n roll to the Christian music scene. Their classic rock vibe, accented by Southern rock elements and a modern edge, is being described as having "hints of Lenny Kravitz and Led Zeppelin combined with elements of The Black Crowes, Jet and Lynyrd Skynyrd."

DecembeRadio's national debut, which is being produced by veteran artist/producer Scotty Wilbanks (Third Day, Overflow, NewSong), is scheduled to release in June. Slanted Records is currently making plans for the band's promotional tours and for the release of the first single, which is scheduled to hit rock and Christian hit radio stations early in the spring.
The recording will be distributed by Word Distribution/WEA with digital distribution by EMI CMG Distribution.
