This episode features tracks from:
Eyeshine - "Modern Guns"
Formed in 2004 by front man Johnny Yong Bosch and Maurice Salmin, Eyeshine first found success in 2006 with a unique blend of pop punk and post grunge called Edge Rock. The band gained a modest audience with its debut EP, "How About That" and their first full length album, "Red Stripes White Lights" but it was their sophomore effort, "My Paper Kingdom" that officially opened the flood gates in 2009. MPK featured their award winning song, "ALONE," whose honest and simple lyrics made a connection to a steadily growing fan base. The band has continued to self produced 7 more albums: "Tone Of Echoes" (features the Elfenworks Foundation sponsored song "Hope Is So Far Away"), "Afterglow" (acoustic album), "Sonosis" (instrumental album), "Sansvox" (karaoke album), "XMAS" (Christmas album), their latest album "Revolution Airwaves," and their latest acoustic album "Like Yesterday."
Eyeshine won the worldwide Ford sponsored competition "Gimme The Gig II" in May 2012. They recorded a single and filmed a music video with the Legendary Don Was (President of Blue Note Records and 7 time Grammy Award winning Producer - Rolling Stones, Elton John, John Mayer, etc) and Krish Sharma (Producer/Engineer - The Rolling Stones, Counting Crows, Hilary Duff, Jesse McCartney, etc) out of the "Ford Focus Studio." Which is a Mobile Studio that was built into a Ford Focus by "Mad" Mike Martin (Pimp My Ride). KTLA (West Coast News Stations affiliated with The CW TV Network), filmed and aired the one-hour special on west coast television (KTLA, KTVU, and KICU).
Julandrew - "Wait A Little Longer"
Boston to Austin transplants, Julie and Andrew began writing songs together in early 2008. Following their move to Texas, melodies and lyrics started popping into Julie's head. She began filling up her time writing songs and playing guitar. Andrew had been playing in bands for over a decade and was instantly inspired to create music to complement her vision. The two spent most of their time building the songs together and recording them at home.
After recording their first songs, they decided to put them on Jamendo, a free music website where it only took a few months before their songs were used for streaming internet radio, documentary and short film projects, commercial websites, YouTube videos, as well as background music for over 300 public places throughout Europe and even one television commercial pilot. Their song "Crazy As" remains in the top 15 out of over 200,000 songs on the website.
Realizing the fans they generated throughout Europe and now in the United States, it was time to get a band together. Keyboardist Katherine Courtney, native Austinite, joined the band in 2009 adding the sound the Julandrew Band needed. They now play select shows around the Austin area while concentrating on their sound.
Julie is known for her straight forward singing melodies, style, and diction, swooning listeners into her point of view and her inner self. Andrew's no frills instrumentation is a perfect combination and hits home with Julie's musical intentions. Julandrew's quirk-pop style is derived from a lifetime of love of music, from the A&M records days to today's indie rock movement, resulting in a sound all their own.
