The Words We Use is currently a 4 piece band based out of New Haven County, Connecticut. In spring of 2011, the band went to Ohio to record with Caleb Shomo of Beartooth/Attack Attack! for their debut single. On August 19th, 2011 they released that single, entitled: "I Like Your Style, Kid" - which in fact also features a guest appearance by Caleb and former member of Attack Attack!/My Ticket Home, Sean Mackowski. The band tried to push the envelope and blend the best of the best musically to try and put themselves to the forefront of this newly emerging sonic genre. After digitally releasing their debut EP, "Morals", which was tracked & mixed at Chango Studios in Florida by engineer/producer Jake Garland (Memphis May Fire/Broadway) and mastered by Cameron Mizell (Ten After Two, Sleeping With Sirens) and even featured a guest spot from Kellin Quinn (Sleeping With Sirens), the band then released physical copies of the CD over the summer and launched their official merch website which has Tshirts, crewnecks, windbreakers and other accessories currently for sale. The band also debuted their first music video for the song, "56 Chances", shot & directed by Sam Link (Memphis May Fire, Sleeping With Sirens, Tyler Carter, Crown The Empire) of Collapse Studios in the fall of 2012. With the release of the new music video, came another milestone in the bands career. TWWU signed with Pale Horse Management to cover all management/booking duties and with Buzzin PR for any public relations/publicist tasks and then also released a music video for the song, "For The First Time In A Long", off of the Morals EP. The video was created by director, Michael Defilio, of Lefty Scissors Productions. The video can be found on various internet video sites including the band's own YouTube channel. In March of 2013, the band started writing what would become the single, "Absence". This new song was subsequently recorded at Zing Studios in Westfield, MA under the production of Jim Fogarty, in early summer and had an accompanying music video that released in June 2013. After the release of "Absence", the band embarked on the "Red, White, & Freedom Tour", alongside management labelmates, Strangers To Wolves, and headliners InDirections. Playing to the midwest, the south, and the east coast, the tour was a success. Upon arriving home and taking time off to write for the new upcoming EP in the fall of 2013, the band experienced some inner turmoil amongst members, and thus ensued a lineup change and the parting of ways with their management. The band acquired new members and continued on into pre-production for the upcoming EP slated to be tracked in late May 2014. After dropping their new single/video & the new EP sometime in the early summer of 2014, the band will be embarking on a cross country tour of the US, their second to date. Expect to see a lot of The Words We Use in 2014...

Striking that perfect balance between melody and mosh has become an art form for post-hardcore quintet For All Those Sleeping, but with the release of new album 'Outspoken', the band are about to take it to the next level. Their second full-length captures the Minnesota quintet at a new creative zenith, and this time, they’re pissed.

“This record is a big ‘Fuck You’ to anyone that’s doubted what we are and what we are capable of,” says lead singer Mike Champa. “We were just fed up with a lot of things in our lives,” adds guitarist/lyricist David Volgman-Stevens. “We were proud of our last record and we’ve been having a blast touring, but we feel we’ve been holding a lot of stuff in; we figured we’d be honest with ourselves and through our music, to our fans. It’s just letting everything out and saying what we feel. It’s an unapologetic, angry, honest and emotional record. There was no other title really for this album but 'Outspoken'.”
 
For All Those Sleeping—which also includes drummer Ethan Trekell, bassist London Snetsinger and rhythm guitarist Jerad Pierskalla—formed in St. Cloud, MN in 2007. The band issued the independent EP 'The Lies We Live' in 2008, and then signed with Fearless Records in 2009, leading to their 2010 full-length debut, 'Cross Your Fingers'. The album debuted at #25 on Billboard's Heatseeker's Chart and #11 on the Alternative New Artist's Chart. The band hit the road hard in support of the release, including tours with Falling In Reverse, Asking Alexandria, Motionless in White, A Skylit Drive, Breathe Carolina, Sleeping With Sirens, The Word Alive, and a summer run on The All Stars Tour, featuring blessthefall, Emmure, Alesana and Born of Osiris.

With a full slate of touring planned behind Outspoken’s June 19th release, 2012 promises to be the year that For All Those Sleeping reach more potential fans than ever. Armed with their most impassioned and confident release to date, the band is sure to win over hordes of new heavy music devotees, while giving longtime fans an even greater blast of what they’ve already come to love.

According to the dictionary, polarise is a weak verb which often has a strong
effect, most of the time unintentionally. However, this is not the case for Eskimo
Callboy. "While writing of our album, it was our top priority not to miss out on
the famous "shake of the heads" by the critics", said singer Sebastian aka Sushi
regarding the themes of polarisation and provocation. So, a system lies behind
everything that the six piece does. It is no coincidence that the band's name tries to
approach the poles apart...

For ten years, the six musicians of Eskimo Callboy wandered through this cosmos
called „Rock Music“, until they found each others in 2010. Rumor tell, that spirits
had their part in the game, when the present concept first took shape musically. The
song "Monsieur Moustache vs. Clitcat" represented the initial spark to what Eskimo
Callboy represents today, according to their own statement: “Danceable porn-metal,
with a pinch of psychedelic glam rock!“ This catches on, turns on and scandalizes.
Sometimes.

In past year, the 6-track EP "Eskimo Callboy 2010" reflected the creativity of these
six midtwenty fellows from Castrop-Rauxel in Germany at the beginning of their
existence as a band; however, since then a lot has happened. Too much to remain
unmentioned. Everything had to be recorded on an album. "After we had released
our EP, we went direcly on stage. After six months and 30 shows, so many things
had happened that an album was needed. Even relationships broke up because of
the band, so that everything had to be renewed and, above all, recorded."

Despite of all developments, when writing the new songs Eskimo Callboy oriented
themselves towards the sound on their EP. But as time went by, their compositions
were becoming increasingly sophisticated, so that on the new longplayer just a sort of
bridging remains.
The best example for this development is the first single „Is Anyone Up“, in which the
band self confidently combines brutal metal-riffs with poppy electro-elements and
anthemic refrains. Whether songs like “Bury Me In Vegas“, “Wonderbra Boulevard“
or “The Kerosene Dance“, Eskimo Callboy make clear that they are cutting-edge with
their modern metal-sound.
"The album is harder and at the same time it has become more pop, though it
remains connected to the previous style, so that we can say that we have remained
faithful to ourselves."

Remaining faithful to themselves means also keeping their light-heartedness of
which they owe their multitude of fans. They come close, carelessly, lightly and
courageously. They continue joining what is difficult to join and creating issues
for discussion. "For years, each member has been musically well acquainted with
metal, but privately we listen to a lot of electro and pop music, too. Nothing was
too absurd when we wrote the EP. We have tried many new things and we have
rejected nothing, actually. And although Eskimo Callboy became more professional in
some respects during the first year, it was clear that we didn't want to lose our light-
heartedness."

Signing with Redfield Records belongs to the "professional things". "The label saw
our shows. Then, we talked and they seemed to be assured by what they had
seen and heard." But also the band's organization became more professional, the
structure of today is a team that "feels like a small family". They have become best
friends, while the band is growing more and more, no longer being being a simple
hobby. "We spend so much time together; therefore, the sense of community has
also tremendously grown."

This is why their lyrics are often about true, collectively experienced stories. "Behind
every song lies a true story, which is improved with lots of imagination. However, no
one should take the lyrics too seriously, because they involve a lot of sarcasm. They
are about parties, sex, booze experiences and interpersonal relationships."

The savoir vivre of the carefree youth is especially reflected again in the dance-
parts of their music. Because these six know from personal experiences, what their
generation wants. "Partying and dancing! Through the electronical elements, a
danceable mix can be noticed in our music. That is very important to us, because our
music is meant to create a good mood."

The priorities are set, it´s all about looking ahead now. "We simply want to continue
as before. A lot of travelling, meeting new people, visiting cities, in order to expand
our network - shortly: having a good time. Our "big" goal is to participate in a tour
through the United States. But above all, we do not want to give up that what our
music stands for. Because it's not just about the music alone, but also about a
temporary sense of life, that we want to achieve with it."
