The Skies Revolt, the final band in the Making
Moves series, have released an exclusive stream of their track"Green
Dress: In A Sense" on AltPress.com today, September
27th. Drexel University's MAD Dragon Records (MDR) and Motion
City Soundtrack are pleased to announce Making Moves, a
series of 7 inch releases by emerging artists, produced and curated by members
of Motion City Soundtrack. The Making Moves series is released
jointly on MAD Dragon Records and Motion City Soundtrack's recently launched
record label, The Boombox Generation. The alternative-rock quartet,
known as The Skies Revolt, will be releasing their Making
Moves 7-inch on October 23rd. This release
will contain two single tracks on 7-inch vinyl, as well as a bonus track
released with the digital package. Check out "Green Dress: In A
Sense" on AltPress.com, here: http://bit.ly/Q3vrnA.
Consisting of David Prindle (vocals/guitar/electronics), Jarred
Irby (bass/vocals), Bobby Dowell (guitar/vocals), and Eli
DenBesten (drums/vocals), The Skies Revolt have been redefining the
alternative rock genre with their quirky blend of indie sound, catchy
electronics, and aggressive, pumping beats. This unique sound, which has been
described as joyful indie-rock exuberance, has garnered attention from Fuse, Much
Music, MTV, Pandora Radio, and more, with appraisal for the first single
off the band's recent self released LP, Some Kind Of Cosmonaut.
The band further demonstrates their uniqueness with their "Choose Your Own
Adventure" videothat follows the band through the woods after their bus
has broken down, allowing the fans to choose each step along the way.
The Skies Revolt's upcoming release for the Making
Moves series, which is supported in part by the Kal & Lucille
Rudman Institute for Entertainment Industry Studies at Drexel University, will
consist of three new unique tracks from the Grand Rapids, Michigan band. Josh
Cain and Justin Pierre, guitarist and vocalist of Motion
City Soundtrack, produced the tracks along with Drexel's Music
Industry Program alumnus, Dave Petit and Justin
Chapmanengineering the sessions. Cain, of MCS, discovered the band from a
twitter post asking fans to send over their favorite bands at the time. Cain
sifted through hundreds of bands before coming across, and falling for, The
Skies Revolt.
The Skies Revolt's Making Moves release
opens with "For Your Health", a drum-heavy track peppered
with blasts of distorted guitar chords and haunting synth lines. The second
song of the release, "Green Dress: In A Sense", has a
lighter feel to it - it includes a random burst of rhythmic clapping as well as
a bubbly synthesizer melody that makes itself known throughout the track. "Germaine
Throws It Up", the final track, is the most electronic of the three.
From the synthesizer's immediate prominence to the verses' staccato vocals, The
Skies Revolt creates a robotic feel while still incorporating the more human
rock elements, demonstrating exactly what it is that makes their music so
distinctive.
Prindle states, "Working with Josh and Justin
was awesome, they took us in and showed us a lot of new tricks within
recording. It was really a great experience over all and we are really excited
that they and MAD Dragon Records are making it possible to put out our first
vinyl."
The Skies Revolt will be touring the US during fall 2012 to
support the October 23rd release of Making Moves on 7-inch
vinyl and digital download. For more information on the band, please visit: www.theskiesrevolt.com.
