Alpha Rev Signs With Disney’s Hollywood Records
Rock Favorite, Alpha Rev, Signs With Hollywood Records NEWS RELEASE - AUSTIN, TX August 29th – Disney’s Hollywood Records, home to The Jonas Brothers, Breaking Benjamin and Miley Cyrus, recently welcomed alternative rock band, Alpha Rev, to its roster. An established favorite in the southwest region, the band made the deal official on August 18th.
“Hollywood Records and the Disney family get it,” says frontman Casey McPherson. “We’re working with a creative and like-minded company here, we’re stoked, and can’t wait to share the music with more people.”
Alpha Rev has been described as "Tom Petty meets Radiohead with Beethoven paying a visit." The combination of rock guitar riffs and pop with classical overtones captivates a crowd. No stranger to touring, the band has played arenas, clubs and festivals, opening for acts like Blue October and Big Head Todd and the Monsters.
“Honestly, I haven’t enjoyed an Austin club concert more. The Rev had a full house pulsating with social connection,” says Austin American-Statesman’s Entertainment Editor, Michael Barnes, on a recent Alpha Rev show at the famous Antone’s.
Earlier this year, Austin Monthly Magazine pegged Alpha Rev as one of the top 8 bands to watch in ’08. Fans can find Alpha Rev on iTunes. “Colder Months,” which garnered McPherson an American Songwriter of the Year award, is one of the group's deep-reaching songs about romance, loss and the search for truth.
The band is currently in pre-production for their upcoming Hollywood Records release - slated for 2009 - and share samples of what’s to come on their myspace page. With the deal inked with Hollywood, Alpha Rev will gain worldwide exposure. They’re rounding out the year with shows in the mid/southwest US and a high-profile show with Willie Nelson and friends.
