Having been in constant creative demand for over 17 straight years, pop-punk uber-band Bowling for Soup clearly has no problem kicking out fresh songs, ridiculous videos, and album after album of music that sets the bar for their genre. Even after nearly two decades together, some things are the same. They still call Denton, TX home, they still are putting out an avalanche of new music every year, and they’re still the guys you’d cut class with to get a beer and a Hot Pocket.

The Gallery’s hook-laden rock songs combine a mix of mainstream
appeal and professionalism with indie cred and likeability. Their brand
of guitar-driven, southern-infused pop rock blurs the lines between
authenticity and commerciality, producing songs that are refined and
disarmingly catchy. A subtly biting guitar sound, simple, road-worn
lyricism and consistently sharp musicianship transform their tracks into
instantly memorable pop gems you don’t want out of your head.

The foursome, Brendan Cooney (lead vocals/guitar), Ryan Cooney (drums),
Dave Mozdzanowski (bass/bg vocals) and Shea Brennan (lead guitar) have
maintained their hometown fan base in New England, while building a
similar following in Southern Florida, where they resided for three
years. In 2009, the band set out on the road for their first national
tour – a full 50 dates across 25 different states. Since then, they’ve
expanded their fan base across the country, playing shows from Florida
to Washington and California to Massachusetts. In the past six months
alone, the band has performed with such well-known acts as Rooney, The
Maine and We the Kings. The Gallery takes pride in sharing their music
and passion with fans at live shows. It’s not hard to see or hear why.

Beneath The Gallery’s mainstream veneer is an unexpected lyrical
maturity that transcends the group’s young age. They explore the spaces
between growing up and following dreams, and between falling in and out
of love, writing songs that are both meaningful and instantly relatable.
This fall, the band recorded five new songs with producer Warren Huart
(The Fray, Augustana, Hot Hot Heat) at Swing House Studios in Hollywood.
From the catchy hooks of “Catalyst” to the thought-provoking lyrics of
“Who’s in the Right” and the haunting melodies of “Ballroom of Broken
Hearts,” the new tracks reveal a band expanding and sharpening its
sound. Keep an eye out for tour dates this spring, and an exciting year
in 2011.

PRESS:
“Who: Riffed-out rockers originally from tiny Wilbraham, Massachusetts.
Sound: Big, shout-along choruses and bluesy guitar breakdowns. Singer
Brendan Cooney grew up on Nineties rock, but gravitated toward legends
like Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan.” – Rolling Stone
“They simply write great pop songs with an indie college flair. Looks like O.A.R. finally has competition.” – Kings of A&R
“The Gallery may be from Massachusetts, but their music definitely has a
sweet, Southern flavor. Their latest EP, Come Alive, is a near-flawless
showcase of pop rock with an americana twist.” – The Album Project
“Come Alive is a stripped-down rock anthem with a folkish twist. The
guitars are simple and unfiltered; the drums and bass are organic and
unprocessed; the vocals are melodic and tranquil. The songs themselves
are a breath of fresh air, infused with a nostalgic sense of raw emotion
that is a tribute to early ’60s and ’70s rock. Keeping with the theme
of uninhabitability, frontman Brendan Cooney’s subtle southern twang is
as memorable as it is unique and his lyrics carry a sense of optimistic
honesty rarely found in contemporary music.” – Stereo Subversion
“They put on an engaging show with fantastic melodies and catchy lyrics.” – ASU State Press
“LOTS of potential, keep an eye on these guys.” – We Bring the Hits
“They have created their own unique sound that blends the in-your-face
catchiness of mainstream choruses with quirky, intricate rhythms and an
undeniable charisma that will have you swaying and swooning in no time.”
– For the Sound
“Bordering on a folk-rock-esque style these guys bring a new light to the rock game.” – OurStage
“The Gallery must take their band name very seriously because each song
on their debut album If You Know What I Mean acts as intimate portrait.
Listening to each song is like taking a stroll at an art exhibit, with
each masterpiece revealing more about the artist, making The Gallery a
fitting band name.” – PopWreckoning

New Album KILLING TIME, Available Everywhere Now! http://bit.ly/fkMg3O

Biography: “Spent all my life/Waiting for a moment to come” – “Killing Time”

Bayside
lead singer/rhythm guitarist and founding member Anthony Raneri has
been waiting 10 years—since he formed the rock group in Queens, N.Y. in
the winter of 2000—to make an album like Killing Time, which represents a
number of firsts for the band named after his hometown.

The
album is the band’s debut for new label Wind-up Records after four
releases on Chicago-based indie Victory Records, including Sirens and
Condolences (2004), Bayside (2005), The Walking Wounded (2007) and
Shudder (2008), steadily growing their following through tireless
touring. Recording their latest at Dreamland Studios in Woodstock, N.Y.,
and Water Music in Hoboken, N.J., with renowned producer Gil Norton
[Foo Fighters, Counting Crows, Pixies, Jimmy Eat World], Bayside finally
had the time and resources to fulfill their creative vision.

The
group turns Raneri’s acoustic songs into full-blown, deceptively
complex rock epics that touch on bitter endings (like that of his
marriage on the first single, “Sick, Sick, Sick,” and the angry,
full-throttle rocker “The Wrong Way”), fresh starts (“The New Flesh”),
band camaraderie (“It’s Not a Bad Little War,” “Sinking and Swimming on
Long Island”) and even a hopeful ballad, complete with a 20-piece
orchestra and a horn section (“On Love, On Life”).

“This is a new
chapter, a new beginning for us,” acknowledges guitarist Jack O’Shea,
who joined the band in 2003 and has played on all five of their albums.
“This feels like our debut release. Gil really encouraged us to push the
boundaries of what we do, and not to become timid. Having that kind of
encouragement from someone so accomplished really gave us the confidence
to be more creative.”

One can hear that in O’Shea’s various
guitar sounds, from the Dick Dale/Link Wray surf guitar rumble which
opens “Already Gone,” to the gnarled, twisted solos in “Sick Sick, Sick”
and “It’s Not a Bad Little War,” to the pneumatic rush of “Sinking and
Swimming on Long Island” or the frenetic jam that ends “The Wrong Way.”

“We
wanted to make a big, detailed record, but still retain the pop
sensibility that makes us who we are,” states Raneri about the studio
process. “Gil helped us stay on an aggressive rock track without losing
sight of the music’s commercial appeal, its ability to get on the radio.
To achieve that balance was the plan.”

For Bayside, the rest of
its career leading to this moment feels like Killing Time, according to
Raneri. “We had the time, the producer, the label to support it and fans
who are ready to hear it. Everything was in place for us to make our
masterpiece.”

Indeed, Killing Time takes everything Bayside has
learned in its decade in the music business and puts it on display for
all to hear. On “Mona Lisa,” another song Raneri wrote about his ex
(“Someday, I’ll forgive you/But it still hasn’t happened yet”), he tried
an experiment in writing. “I half-jokingly call it my greatest
accomplishment,” he laughs. “It was an attempt to write a song with as
many chromatic key changes in it as possible, without it sounding like
mathematics. I was sure it would never make the album, but everyone
seemed to love it.”

There are also glimpses of the hard road
Bayside has traveled to this point in “It’s Not a Bad Little War,” a
song about being on the front lines and trenches with your bandmates
(“We are the only friends we ever had”), and “Sinking and Swimming on
Long Island,” about all the ones that got left behind (“The harder you
work/The harder you fall/You wake up one day/With nothing at all”).

“Seeing
Sound” has an operatic, almost Queen-like vibe, reflecting Raneri’s own
love of Broadway show tunes, while the dramatic “On Love, On Life,” is
driven by piano and acoustic guitar, with pop tunesmiths Bacharach and
David and Welsh crooner Tom Jones as the touchstones. The title track
shows off the band’s metal chops, with ominous Blue Oyster Cult
overtones.

“I really think this album has the best elements of
all our previous releases,” says O’Shea, whose own guitar heroes include
metal speedsters like Metallica’s Kirk Hammett and Megadeth’s Dave
Mustaine as well as Slash, along with such jazz-rock muss as Steve Vai,
Joe Satriani, Allan Holdsworth, Al DiMelola and John McLaughlin. “It’s
the most representative of what we’ve always gone for as a band. It
encompasses what our fans like best about us.”

With 10 songs
weighing in at 38 minutes, there is no filler on Killing Time, an album,
while not a concept, with songs that are organically connected and of a
piece, like Green Day’s American Idiot or Nirvana’s Nevermind.

“We
were trying to make the perfect album,” says Anthony. “We’ve been
trying to make this record for 10 years. We finally had all the elements
we needed to do it. We wanted these to be the 10 best songs we’ve ever
written.”

“Now I don’t ask for much/But this could define a lifetime” – “It’s Not a Bad Little War”

“Everything
has been leading up until right now,” says Anthony. “Killing Time is
about new beginnings, changes. This is our moment, the album we were
supposed to make. A lot of bands that came up with us, we’ve watched
form, get signed, get huge and then disappear. And we’re still
here…People continue to listen and care. We’re living the dream.”

On Killing Time, that dream becomes reality.

“We’re
all just excited about the possibilities of what the next year holds
for us,” concludes Jack. “We’ve always approached our career with a
cautious optimism. We hope for the best, but we’re OK with whatever
happens. We roll with the punches…but this time it all seems so much
more tangible.”

Los Angeles DJs Justin Warfield and Adam “Adam 12″ Bravin formed the moody, Joy Division-inspired She Wants Revenge
in 2003. A fortuitous combination of word of mouth, industry
connections, and airplay on Sirius Satellite Radio and West Coast
airwave giant KCRW provided the duo with enough exposure to snag a
record deal with Geffen, resulting in a 2006 self-titled release that
has drawn comparisons to Interpol, early Depeche Mode, and the Bravery, as well as their aforementioned eternally depressed post-punk heroes from England. After touring with Depeche Mode, they returned with 2007′s This Is Forever.
