Nashville, TN - January 30, 2018 - Nashville natives LOYALS are thrilled to share their debut self-titled album, premiering today via NYLON. The record, which has recently been featured on Baeble Music, will be released this Friday, February 2nd, 2018 via 

Tooth & Nail Records. Digital pre-orders are available now, and include an instant grat download of singles "Hold On," "Alright," and "Skyline." For more information, please visit: www.loyalsband.com.

On the new record, the band shares: "This album was made in a time when there was a lot to be thankful for and a lot to be hurt about. We tried to create a sound that is the most tailored to who we are and what we like as possible."

 

LOYALS is Andrew Gomez (guitar), Evan Thon (bass), and Dane Allen (vocals, guitar).

 

The band's lack of pretension is as refreshing as it is uncommon, their self-assuredness most likely a side effect of the years they've spent playing together. "We met when we were teenagers," Allen says of his bandmates. "We've stuck with each other ever since." The decade-long friendship not only earned them their moniker, but-through practice and experimentation-aided in the cultivation of a pop group that masters the genre.

 

Their upcoming record-brimming with buoyant melodies and standout hooks-is a playful demonstration of everything pop. The self-titled debut pays homage to their R&B and alternative rock influencers while maintaining an attitude all its own. "This record is a byproduct of our daily lives," explains Allen. "It's therapeutic to write what you feel in the moment, whether you're sad, or you're in love, or you just don't care. We aren't curated, we just write what we feel."

 

LOYALS' self-titled debut album will be released this Friday, February 2nd, 2018 via Tooth & Nail Records.

Utah State Treasurer David Damschen named NCPERS Policymaker of the Year

 

SALT LAKE CITY – January 30, 2018 – The National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems (NCPERS) honored Utah State Treasurer David Damschen this week with the 2017 Policymaker of the Year award at the association’s annual Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C.

 

Treasurer Damschen received the award as recognition for his work advocating for states' rights and effective approaches to sound retirement systems and policies.

 

Among his efforts, Treasurer Damschen worked to defend Department of Labor safe harbor rules, which empowered states to develop simple, low-cost retirement savings programs for workers who lack access to a workplace retirement plan. He wrote an op-ed on the topic.

 

“It is an honor to accept this award and a great privilege to support states that are striving to address the growing retirement savings gap in our country,” Treasurer Damschen said. “I am grateful for NCPERS’ leadership and advocacy, and I look forward to continued collaboration with the association.”

 

 

NCPERS is the largest nonprofit trade association for public sector pension funds, representing more than 500 funds throughout the United States and Canada that collectively manage more than $3 trillion in pension assets. Its core missions are federal and state advocacy, conducting research vital to the public pension community and educating pension trustees and officials.
