"Kerosene” is out now! rachellorinmusic.com/kerosene

Luego de tocar en festivales barriales, colegios y pequeños lugares de capital, la idea de hacer música de manera más profesional era una necesidad que tomaba día a día mayor valor.
Así es como pasando por distintos integrantes finalmente en julio del 2008 se gesta la primera formación de la banda que luego de varios ensayos editaría en 2009 lo que fue el primer EP de INTUICIÓN . EP que los llevo a tocar en varios lugares de Capital Federal y Gran Buenos Aires con una buena respuesta del público.
El 2010 fue un año de fechas y madurez que sirvió para dejar de lado al niño que jugaba a ser músico y empezar a pensar como un músico profesional, con todas las responsabilidades que esto delimita.
Pero como en esta vida no todos tenemos los mismos objetivos lo que alguna vez fue un lazo irrompible se puede convertir en un frágil hilo y romper fácilmente. En 2011 eso sucedió y el proyecto “INTUICIÓN” quedo suspendido, año en el que Matías Bernardo y Emiliano Niglia se replantearon no solo el destino de la banda, sino también su destino dentro del mundo de la música.
A principios de 2012 Matías y Emiliano deciden alquilar una sala de ensayo 24hs con unos amigos que se encontraban en la misma situación que ellos, con la idea de componer canciones nuevas y poder probar músicos para rearmar la banda.
Fue uno de esos días en la sala que Emiliano propone probar un Baterista que había conocido en un recital y del cual tenía buenas referencias, su nombre era Joaquín Ceballos. Dado que el tiempo pasaba y seguían sin tocar arreglaron lo antes posible y un sábado de Marzo ensayaron los 3 juntos. No fue el mejor ensayo de sus vidas, pero fue el primer paso para arrancar de nuevo.
Con la suma de Joaquín a la formación la idea de rearmar la banda ganaba fuerza, solo faltaba alguien que ocupara el lugar de Bajista.
Rápidamente aparecieron Bajistas interesados en participar, pero ninguno estaba a la altura de las circunstancias. Hasta que el 20 de julio de ese mismo año Matías queda en reunirse con Nicolás Oddera, el cual había escuchado material de la banda y tenía interés en formar parte de la misma ya que estaba cansado de tocar covers y la idea de componer canciones originales lo atraía bastante.
A las semanas Matías, Emiliano, Joaquín y Nicolás ensayaron por primera vez los 4 juntos y paso lo que tenía que pasar, la música fluyo de manera natural y quedo más que claro que INTUICIÓN estaba de vuelta.
Ensayo tras ensayo las canciones tomaban forma y se afianzaba mas la conexión entre los integrantes. Al punto tal que al poco tiempo ya estaban tocando juntos en pequeños lugares de Capital Federal esperando ver la respuesta del público ante este nuevo proyecto.
INTUICIÓN ahora era una banda madura con un sonido definido y 4 integrantes con liderazgo y decisión. Por esta razón ponerse de acuerdo en grabar un disco no fue problema ya que las ganas, el tiempo y la dedicación para que todo saliera bien sobraban.
Luego de averiguar sobre estudios de grabación y definir totalmente el rumbo de las canciones, a finales de Marzo de 2013 Matías, Emiliano, Joaquín y Nicolás se metieron a grabar el primer disco de INTUICIÓN.
Actualmente se espera la pronta salida de este primer disco que marcara un nuevo comienzo para la banda.

Uniquely distinctive and instantly recognizable, Iron Bridge Band has a sound that is both familiar and fresh. Influenced by vinyl and cassette-era rock, they bring together classic rock n’ roll, fused with roots-rock and hints of southern soul by way of thoughtfully crafted songs, four-part vocal harmonies and reflective lyrics. The music is an up-beat collaboration of edgy melodic guitar riffs, laden with fist pumping, sing-along hooks. 

Iron Bridge Band is a true band in every sense and their music is a collaboration of authentic musicians who feel, groove and vibe. They bring intimacy and that intangible musical connection you can’t quantify with just pure musicianship alone. Their music has depth, realism, tells a story and is felt before it is heard. The band has been writing, recording and performing together since 2010 and has opened for national touring acts such as The Outlaws, Blackhawk and John Eddie.

Billboard Magazine states, “My Silent Bravery plays like a major label signing, from its production savvy, eloquent lyrics, authoritative imaging, polished web site, a dedicated Northeast U.S. fan following, merchandising, and most important, a chockablock collection of winning songs. My Silent Bravery is destined to make major noise.”

My Silent Bravery symbolizes persistence, perseverance and inner strength to overcome obstacles in the face of adversity. It is this type of determination that helped Matthew Wade of My Silent Bravery overcome a sports injury in his youth which led him to pursue his passion in music. The injury opened the door to spirituality and a higher calling. Through personal work and transformation, he learned the importance of “paying it forward” and now feels one of his missions in life is to help inspire others to do the same by delivering his positive message to the masses through the music of My Silent Bravery.

MSB has released 7 albums since 2007, with music featured in tv shows like Criminal Minds, One Tree Hill, MTV’s Real World, American Pickers among many others. These placements, along with three Billboard hit singles have helped the band continue to turn heads, make noise and gain local and national supporters alike. “Got it Going On” the band’s biggest song to date, topped the Billboard Hot Singles Sales Chart remaining at #1 for ten straight weeks, while it simultaneously hit 5 other Billboard charts. The Huffington Post’s Jon Chatman states, “While he’s drawn comparisons to John Mayer and Gavin DeGraw, A-Sides thinks he can stand on his own sans any labels or similar-sounding artist references. In other words, his music, like his name, is unique and stands on its own in a bold way.”

Matthew has continued his DIY approach and released music independently under his own label MWS Records without major label backing. MSB has played 1,000 live shows including several international tours and has shared the stage with national acts including Bryan Adams, Billy Idol, Daughtry, John Waite, The Wailers, Candlebox, Rusted Root, among many others. MSB continues to grow its “Braveheart” fan base organically through touring and its growing social media presence which now reaches over a quarter million fans across multiple social networks including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and its YouTube channel has featured several trending singles which have collectively accumulated over 8,000,000 views. Paste Magazine recently stated, “My Silent Bravery may be the best-undiscovered artist around”.

My Silent Bravery is endorsed by Gibson.

Sold-out shows on a recent world tour demonstrate the band’s formidable musical arsenal that continues to propel album sales, now exceeding 70 million.  At Foreigner’s core is founder Mick Jones, the visionary maestro whose stylistic songwriting, indelible guitar hooks and multi-layered talents continue to escalate Foreigner’s influence more than 30 years into the game.
 
With a catalog of multi-platinum gems including Cold As Ice, Juke Box Hero, I Want To Know What Love Is and critically-acclaimed wonders from the 2009 “Can’t Slow Down” album—Foreigner is a band continually forging new musical peaks. Comprising Foreigner’s dynamic lineup are founder-lead guitarist Mick Jones, lead vocalist Kelly Hansen, bass guitarist Jeff Pilson, multi-instrumentalist Tom Gimbel, keyboardist Michael Bluestein and drummer Mark Schulman. The original incarnation of Foreigner, formed by Jones in 1976, included fellow Brits Ian McDonald and Dennis Elliott, as well as Americans Al Greenwood, Ed Gagliardi and Lou Gramm. It was this mix of nationalities, and a feeling that music was coming from a different place, that inspired the band name. Stoked with Jones’ song-writing mastery and Gramm’s fiery vocals, Foreigner embarked on an unprecedented course of larger-than-life rock and never looked back.

Foreigner has 14 (and counting) Top 20 hits – some of them the most enduring songs in rock history – as well as 10 multi-platinum albums. Jones, who began playing guitar in his teens, is a Grammy and Golden Globe-nominated songwriter and winner of the prestigious British Ivor Novello songwriter award. 

Foreigner’s debut album produced these hits: Feels Like The First Time, Cold As Ice and Long, Long Way From Home. The amazing “Double Vision” album followed, as did a string of more hits like Urgent, Juke Box Hero and Waiting For A Girl Like You.  Those three songs helped give Foreigner “4” its impressive run at number one on the Billboard chart.  At the zenith of 80s sound, Foreigner’s fifth album, “Agent Provocateur,” gave the world the incredible Number 1 global hit, I Want To Know What Love Is. This musical milestone followed the record-breaking song Waiting For A Girl Like You (14 weeks, Billboard #2). As successful as the band has been with ballads, Foreigner is and always will be a high-energy rock band.

The frenetic ride of the original Foreigner incarnation reached a milestone in 2002 when Gramm and Jones performed together for the last time. Gramm’s decision to leave the band prompted Jones to re-evaluate his life and his vision of Foreigner.  With much support and encouragement, Jones rallied a newly-charged powerhouse lineup. A final touch to this intense re-vision was recruiting Kelly Hansen as vocalist, opening full throttle the re-emergence of astounding music that speaks to both hard-core Foreigner fans and younger generations. 

Where will the future take Foreigner? Expect more blazing rock music, ferociously delivered, resonating globally, stronger than ever before.
