(Top40 Charts/ Geffen Records) - In just 12 months since her first gig in the U.K., writing songs on her laptop while recuperating from a spill that left her with a broken foot, posting those songs on myspace, releasing her first single "Caroline's A Victim," signing with Fiction/Geffen Records, rocking the charts with her next single " Foundations" and seeing her debut album Made of Bricks enter the U.K. charts at No 1, Kate Nash, the 20 year old from Harrow, is now setting her sights on America. Geffen Records will release Made of Bricks in the U.S. on January 8, 2008. Produced by Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Babyshambles) Made of Bricks captures the life of a 20 year old who's full of mixed emotions about bad boyfriends and friendships and often searches for that inner child within us all. The U.K. press has lauded its praise upon the young Kate with the Daily Mail stating, "One of the most exciting talents to emerge this year...refreshingly homespun and diverse," and NME saying "She's a unique talent...the sweet yet savvy new troubadour of teenage street-life." The press in the U.S. has been just as supportive with the New York Times calling her debut album "loveable" and Rolling Stone featuring Kate as one of their "10 Artists To Watch" in the current issue. With her first single "Foundations" debuting at No 2 on the U.K. singles chart & No 1 on the U.K. iTunes chart Kate's UK label Fiction Records pushed the release of her debut album Made of Bricks up 5 weeks to August 6th and it debuted at No 1 on the U.K. charts. Kate's stateside label Geffen Records released the Foundations EP via all digital outlets on September 4th. This EP includes Kate's hit single "Foundations," and her debut cult single "Caroline's a Victim," along with two b-sides "Navy Taxi," and "Habanera" as well as the video for "Foundations." Recently a track from Made of Bricks, "Merry Happy," was featured in an episode of Grey's Anatomy and is currently available for download on iTunes.
