DEBUT EP OUT THIS FALL
New York, NY - September 12, 2018 - Alt-pop/rock band, Missyou, is exclusively premiering the studio session for "YourBody" today on Pure Grain Audio! Give it a watch here: https://bit.ly/2x7JGVl.
"YourBody," released across all major streaming services a few weeks back, is the third single and title track off of the band's forthcoming debut EP, due out this fall. It follows the release of singles "Child 44" and "Know It All."
The four-piece's vision is to create music they can stand behind with an emphasis on storytelling, moving listeners through time. They believe every picture and sound they create is part of a larger story, and above all, in freedom of expression. This EP brings Missyou's vision to life through visceral melodies and heavy hitting lyrics.
YourBody is set to release October 2018. Leading up to the EP, the band will be rolling out additional tracks along with music videos directed by Beyhan. For more information, please visit https://www.missyoumusic.com/
###
Missyou is Blaise Beyhan (vocalist), Omer Wald (guitar), Vince Quinones (drums), and Pete Valentini (bass).

With Halloween just around the corner, wanted to reach out with a story idea that would make a great feature to celebrate the holiday – a shopping trip to your local Savers® show your readers how they can craft some truly original Halloween costumes for under $50.
Since costuming has almost become a competitive sport on social media, the desire to come up with something truly unique, without breaking the bank, is on everyone’s Halloween to-do list this season. A few thoughts-starters on costumes are included below my signature.
Given the number of stores Savers has across Salt Lake City, we would also be happy to be your Utah Halloween resource to help keep your readers stay on the pulse of this Halloween’s top trends and put together a unique, affordable costume.
You do you boo: Fun 2018 Costume Ideas
· Meghan Markle engagement look: A simple white coat, navy dress and some nude heels and a fabulous piece of ring bling (costume, of course!) will stand out among all the Married Meghan looks sure to be at many parties this year.
· Handmaids Tale: A red cap and white bonnet and you’re ready to go.
· Queer Eye: Whether it’s the chic patterned tops favorited by everyone’s fave Brit, Tan France, or long-haired Jonathan Van Ness (we sell wigs as well!), go as one of the Fab Five or get four friends to join you in the fun for a complete ensemble.
