A little information about the Honda Civic Tour:

The legacy of the Honda Civic Tour burns bright, and Paramore is the latest band representing the roots of the music that started it all. Since the tour’s inception in 2001, powerful acts like blink-182, Incubus, Good Charlotte, Black Eyed Peas and Fallout Boy have rocked audiences across the U.S. This year’s supporting acts include Canadian indie rockers Tegan and Sara, Civic Tour alumni New Found Glory and newcomers Kadawatha.

Today is also the day that some of us have been waiting for. Pre-orders  of the 2010 Summer Tour EP are now available on iTunes. The EP features live and previously unreleased tracks from Paramore, Tegan and Sara, New Found Glory and Kadawatha.

With their release of their second EP, ‘The River Court”, In Lights plans to show the world they are not the band you thought they were, or even the band they thought they were.

Birthed from basements and garages from around the GTA, In Lights formed late 2006 to the dying local scene. Their 5 song debut EP (With an extra 2 bonus demo songs from 07) entitled “Constellations” was released independently in early 2008. Constellations could easily pass as a mix tape you would give to your high school sweetheart. From their pop-punk ode to past bands (“For Every Day After Ever”) to their 80s Hair Metal/Post Hardcore hate anthem (“Dias Place”) and even an acoustic love song inspired by love and best friends (“1993”) this EP covered the last 20 years in 20 minutes. But which style made the group feel most at home?

It wasn’t until late 08 when the band decided to ditch the screaming and try something new. They wrote and recorded 2 new songs “Ending With You and Me” & “Consider the following” Over flowing with raw emotion, these songs showcased something new, something that was lacking in the local scene. After gaining much momentum after the release of the 2 new songs, “Ending With You and Me” went on to win the band a spot on the Ernie Ball Stage at the Montreal Warped Tour in 2009.

With inspired hearts and a now permanent line up, Dylan French (Vocals), Gavin Sutton (Guitar Vocals), Nick Dooley (Guitar), Andrew Brunette (Bass) and Tyler Jones (Drums) headed back to the studio to record their most ambitious songs yet that would soon become “The River Court” EP.

The 4 songs on The River Court EP set all the cards on the table. “We’re the king of hearts, the jesters ex-lover with talent under cover,” French sings passionately on the track “The Debut” about straying from the scenic route of rock stardom, diving in head first without looking back. But it’s not all business. When it comes to the poppy sing along chorus you can see they still have a lot of fun, even at the expense of themselves. “We sing because were not very good at much anything else.” The second track shows a more mature side, both musically and lyrically as they talk about past regrets, hopeful romances and a few sweet metaphors regarding water. The buddy track “Ace and Jocelyn”, with a polite nod towards college humors Jake and Amir, tells a tale of best friends and life in the small suburban city in which they live. This track dares you to think of “North East South West” without singing this catchy tune the rest of the day. That’s right, you can’t. The closing song is a re-done ‘acoustic’ version ‘Consider The Following’ The song goes where no In Lights song has gone before. Haunting strings line the pre chorus lines ‘Consider this, the last thoughts I’ll ever think of you…’ while synth and piano replace the lead parts of the song, making the song, in the end, an eerie yet beautiful masterpiece. “The River Court EP” is now available to download free!

Phone Calls From Home’s debut album “Connected – Deluxe Edition” is in stores now on Red Blue Records!

Available from: Best Buy & Newbury Comics
Album Includes: 2 UNRELEASED acoustic songs, a remix and the music video for “Light The Fuse”

This album is pretty killer, although some of you might just say “It sounds like all the other cd’s out there these days!” I don’t care, it is still a really really good album. I personally think that the album’s opening track leads into a great album, and the music then progresses throughout. I think big things are to be expected from these new comers to the scene.

Let’s see what he had to say about the band, and other various things we discussed. Their album has been out for a while now and it was time I caught up with the boys and see what they had to say.  If you do not have their free EP entitled THE EATING DISEASE make sure to download it HERE.

Promos4Awareness:
Who are you and what is your part in Amnesia Amnesia?

Jordan:
I’m Jordan and I play bass in Amnesia Amnesia!

Promos4Awareness:
How has The Eating Disease EP been received thus far?

Jordan:
It has been great dude. I was a little nervous this time around because we are finally starting to find our sound and I was nervous how people would dig it but we have been getting a great response and that is really exciting.

Promos4Awareness:
Now that the album is out, what can we expect from the band next?

Jordan:
We don’t believe in down time between releases so I assure you we are doing a lot! We are currently in the process of writing a record that I and the other members will be putting our heart and souls into.

Promos4Awareness:
Awesome! Looking forward to it!
Any information you can give us about the next album? Expected release date, recording details?

Jordan:
Most of the writing for the album is almost finished. That is about as much as I can say right now. I don’t want to give a date on when it can be expected because we are going to put so much into this record we really don’t know when it will be out, but it will be worth it.

Promos4Awareness:
Awesome, can’t wait!
When and where can we catch you guys at some shows to get a fix of The Eating Disease?

Jordan:
We are getting a lot booked at the moment. No matter where you live in Canada you WILL see us soon. I may be in tight neon leopard print silk underwear, but regardless you will see us.

Promos4Awareness:
I sure hope to see you in tight neon leopard print silk underwear. Sounds like the next Amnesia Amnesia photo shoot.
Have you received the success of The Eating Disease personally?

Jordan:
I absolutely agree with you on that one.
Yes, I have taken it personally. This was the first EP for me where I have contributed a lot in the writing aspect of it, so I do take it very personally that it has been a great success so far.

Promos4Awareness:
Provide the underwear, I will provide the shoot.
Sweet! Where can fans get the album and where can we get some updates from the band? Any Twitter, MySpace or Facebook accounts we should be following?

Jordan:
We will give more information as to where it will be distributed as it comes! Everyone that wants it, will get it. We will make sure of that. We all have our personal twitters up on our MySpace, you can go over there and check them out and follow us if you feel so inclined.

Promos4Awareness:
Sweet! Thanks so much for your time, and one last interview to leave it with a bang.
Top Album or song of 2009 was?

Jordan:
Glad to talk! I’ll see you at the photo shoot!
New Junk Aesthetic – Every Time I Die. Best album of 2009 hands down.

Promos4Awareness:
I agree with that album! Thanks so much for your time and see you at the shoot!
