BANDALOOP RECORDS SIGNS AMERICAN ROCKSTAR
Please welcome the newest members of the Bandaloop roster, Cleveland based alt-rockers, American Rockstar. American Rockstar will be recording later this month and we are planning a CD release in September. The new CD promises an aggressive sound with huge guitars and punchy drums, along the lines of Foo Fighters meets Helmet. Cleveland’s americanrockstar will make you feel. Rising above the sea of mediocrity that commercial rock radio has become, their music stirs up emotion that sticks with you from the first listen. Songs like “Holiday,” “Tonight,” and “Somewhere to Run” (all from the band’s new 10-song release) rock passionately, channeling a wide array of influences into a powerful radio-ready sound. Known for its unforgettable hooks and high-energy performances, the band has earned a large and diverse fan base. For more info on American Rockstar please visit their website at www.americanrockstar.com and www.myspace.com/americanrockstar .
