Red Wanting Blue to release new album

COLOMBUS, OH. (www.redwantingblue.com) - Columbus, Ohio-based band Red Wanting Blue is gearing up for the release of their sixth independent record, due out in October 2004 with a studio team that has worked on the most recent albums for Avril Lavigne, American Hi-Fi, and the Dixie Chicks. The band's last five releases have garnered college and commercial radio airplay, and they will continue to support the new record with a rigorous tour itinerary.

Talented indie-rock producer Ted Comerford produced the record. Comerford has produced some of the best independent bands on the east coast, including Virginia Coalition, Lucky Town, and The Argument.
The album was mixed by Paul David Hager, one of the top mixers in the industry that has recently worked with The Dixie Chicks, Shawn Mullins, Letters to Cleo, American HiFi, Avril Lavigne, and the Donnas.

Red Wanting Blue sets themselves apart from the pack with their live show, which is a unique blend of theatrics and emotional rock. The band's tour schedule allows them to keep growing a huge grassroots following and extreme success in the college indie-rock scene. A string of shows on the 2003 Sprite Liquid Mix Tour gave them the opportunity to tour alongside national recording artists O.A.R., The Roots, Robert Randolph, and N.E.R.D. The band has also shared the stage with The Roots, 311, Our Lady Peace, 10,000 Maniacs, Jurassic 5, Cracker, Verve Pipe, and Wyclef.

RWB has also been featured as an unsigned band to watch on Demodiaries.com. Their last two albums, Sirens and Souvenirs of City Life, both debuted at number one nationally on the Aware Records online store, www.awarestore.com.
In addition, RWB's song "Audition," from a previous release, was featured in Abercrombie & Fitch stores internationally. They have a long history of giving audiences what they pay for. Their highly explosive live act engages crowds, and their drawing power is unparalleled for an independent band.
