BRONZE RADIO RETURN TO RELEASE SELF-TITLED DEBUT

Hartford, CT— A collection of love, triumph, uncertainty and even a childhood experience, comprise the five vastly diverse tracks which make-up Bronze Radio Return’s self-titled debut EP. The past few months of writing and recording have certainly managed to put many things into perspective for the young Hartford based band.

“It’s truly magical witnessing the final product of something that I've been mulling over in my head for years and I couldn't be more excited," says front man, Chris Henderson, about the EP. “Some of the songs that made the cut have been kicked around for years, while some have only recently been written and recorded. As the songwriter, it's interesting for me to see how all the songs derive from such unique places, yet when found under the same roof, seem to work really well with each other.”

Collaborating with acclaimed producer/engineer/musician Doug Derryberry (Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Bruce Hornsby, Ben Folds Five), was an eye-opening experience. Doug first approached the band after a well-received performance at The Bitter End in New York City. The buzz about the band caught his attention, and arrangements were quickly made to record some tracks together. After numerous late nights and a few overdub sessions in New York City, the band had the songs "Mirrors and Smoke" and "I Don't Wait Any More."

Several other songs that made the record, “Shade Tonight", "If the Roof is Leaking" and "The Truth", were recorded in a much more casual atmosphere over the span of a year with the aid of some great friends. The tracks were recorded in Hartford by Rob Shaffer and mixed in Belgium by Rob Murray-both graduates from the same program that Chris attended at the Hartt School of Music. The miniature record of sorts is slated to hit the streets both on disc and via iTunes worldwide on March 18.

It would be far too easy to classify Bronze Radio Return’s music as "blues rock," although that may be the first genre that comes to mind when listening. According to Chris, “It’s clearly rooted in rock and blues music but we incorporate other elements that in the end make our music something unique- or at the very least, entertaining.” Unique and entertaining might be an understatement as to the music industry, the band is being praised as "a breath of fresh air" in an oversaturated market of unoriginality.

Despite the band’s blatant and playful youthfulness, if you knew little of their appearance, you would swear they were a seasoned band of thirty-something’s. In contrast, though only in their early twenties, Bronze Radio Return has managed to garner much success thus far in their careers. Having caught the attention of major record labels, producers, and even several beverage companies, who consequently have approached the band about corporate endorsements; Bronze Radio Return is well on their way to being a mainstay, career band.
