MAR 19 2008 – Equal Vision Records is proud to announce the signing of CINEMATIC SUNRISE, the pop-rock sensation side project of Craig Owens and Bradley Bell – vocalist and keyboardist (respectively) of the highly acclaimed CHIODOS. Even with all of the success of their first project, Bell explains, “There’s no good reason to put a ceiling on your music abilities; spread them as far as you can.”

CINEMATIC SUNRISE – Craig Owens, vocals; Bradley Bell, keyboards; Bryan Beeler, guitar; Marcus Vankirk, bass; and Dave Shapiro, drums – recorded the 6-track set themselves with Beeler in the role of producer/engineer. The debut EP A COLORING STORYBOOK AND LONG-PLAYING RECORD is set for a May 13, 2008 release.

Although CHIODOS.’ schedule has been extremely hectic since the release of their sophomore record, Bell reassures us that they’ll still be making time for touring as CINEMATIC SUNRISE. “Obviously we can’t put as much time into it, but we still take it seriously.” Shortly after the album’s release, the band will start off on a headlining tour which runs May 15^th through May 31^st. CINEMATIC SUNRISE will be bringing along friend, VIC FUENTES from label-mates PIERCE THE VEIL, to assist on second guitar for the two week trek. My American Heart and Daphne Loves Derby will be on hand for support. The five-piece will then join this summer’s Vans Warped Tour for 7 dates on the SmartPunk Stage.

Pierce the Veil is one of my favorite Equal Vision Artists. They’ve been busy & a lot of great things have been happening to them. Check it all out below!

JAN 21 2008 – PIERCE THE VEIL wrapped up a year of constant touring in 2007 and show no signs of slowing down as they kick off 2008 with tour plans that extend through the end of the summer. With a workload like this, it’s easy to see why Alternative Press has recently named PIERCE THE VEIL one of the 100 Bands To Know In ‘08.

Before taking to the road, the band will shoot a video for their single – as chosen by their fans in an online poll – “YEAH BOY AND DOLL FACE”, in Los Angeles with director Nate Weaver (Static-X “Dirthouse”, Jealous Sound “The Fold Out”, Russell Simmons “I’m Not A Model”).

On the road, the band find themselves in the coveted support slot for Emery’s national headlining tour which kicks off January 29^th in Nashville, TN and wraps up March 22^nd in Greenville, SC. As Cities Burn and Mayday Parade will also be supporting the tour.

Shortly after, PIERCE THE VEIL will be appearing at Bamboozle Left on April 6^th in Irvine, CA – not too far from the band’s hometown of San Diego, CA. Other confirmed performers include My Chemical Romance, All American Rejects, and Paramore.

The band will be packing up the RV again – with lots of sunscreen – as they take to the Hurley Stage on this summer’s entire Vans Warped Tour.

PIERCE THE VEIL will be continuing to support their 2007 debut, A FLAIR FOR THE DRAMATIC, recorded with producer Casey Bates (Chiodos, Gatsby’s American Dream) and written/recorded entirely by brothers VIC FUENTES (vocals, guitar) and MIKE FUENTES (drums). The album has received an abundance of praise since its release; says Outburn, “We’ve been there, done that with the screamo thing… Yet, Pierce The Veil manages to take their influences and fondness for screamo’s vocal styling and hardcore’s hurried rhythms and tones it down with more melodic harmonies.” Alternative Press advises the band, in regards to the song title “I’D RATHER DIE THAN BE FAMOUS”: “Be careful what you wish for… especially if you keep writing songs this good.”
