Buddahead Sing A Song Of Hope

New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Fear Of Cheese Records) - Buddahead, New York City rock band fronted by Iranian born singer Raman Kia, is set to release Standing Still, their song of faith and healing featured in its entirety on CW's One Tree Hill, as a single on March 30th.

Last month, immediately after being interviewed by veteran disc jockey Matt Pinfield on the morning show of New York's WRXP the band's website crashed due to the high volume of hits. That following evening Buddahead sold out the legendary Bitter End and soon songs from their album Ashes spread to Pandora, Last.fm, and other musical portals. Standing Still became the most requested song on Soundclick with over 180,000 generated plays.

Ashes, the band's second album which took two years in the making, is at its heart the chronicle of a musical, geographical and emotional journey that frontman and songwriter Raman Kia found himself on, a thinly veiled life story that is as incendiary as it is cathartic. Lead singer, Raman Kia, who was born in Iran during the Iran/Iraq war and was sent to England to be educated and to escape the war describes Ashes:

"Pain is obnoxious. Whether, like me, you come from war, violence, bombs, blood, and revolution or you are just struggling in these difficult times to feed your family, finding hope is the first step in coming out of the other side. Finding hope is part of me and the music I make. Hope is my prayer and Ashes prophets hope."

What the critics have to say:

"A prodigious talent�amazing sound�amazing story." - Hits Magazine
"Buddahead has a nice Jeff Buckley thing goin' - also some Radiohead instrumentation and little Verve" - CMJ
