DECEMBER 6, 2018 - Copeland have announced details surrounding their upcoming album Blushing, which will be released on February 14, 2019 through Tooth & Nail Records. Fans can listen to two new songs this week from the album. "Night Figures" is premiering now over at Billboard.com here: https://bit.ly/2EgKoVA and fans can hear another new song, "On Your Worst Day", tomorrow, Friday December 7th on all streaming platforms.
The band previously released "Pope", which fans will find on the new album and can be heard on Spotify and Apple Music or to purchase via iTunes.
The tracks that make up Blushing show the band continuing to explore musical genres, pulling various stylistic influences like electronic and symphonic, and taking each sound and style to its logical extreme.
"We wanted to take all of the elements that made up our sound in the past and push those elements farther," Aaron Marsh says. "So, rock becomes more rock than we've been in the past. If we've taken elements of symphonic tones, let's now be very symphonic. When we're being electronic, be very electronic. We wanted to emphasize each element of sound harder, like an exaggerated version of Copeland's sound. We could be each thing individually by pushing each facet of our art in a more focused way."
The album is now available for pre-order at: http://copeland.lnk.to/D2C
Blushing Track Listing:
1. Pope
2. Lay Here
3. As Above So Alone
4. Suddenly
5. Night Figures

The album is a strong step forward for Copeland, who plans to continue writing and releasing music together for the foreseeable future. In many ways, Blushing encapsulates the band's impressive career, while also showcasing their evolution into mature songwriters and producers. It reveals how the strength of each individual component that makes up Copeland's sound.

PICTURESQUE
Premieres New Single
"Pray"
Watch Now on Alternative Press
Lexington, KY - December 6, 2018 - Alternative band Picturesque is ending 2018 on a high note with the release of their brand new single and music video, "Pray," premiering now on Alternative Press. The band recently wrapped up a month long run with Slaves and Escape The Fate, and are now setting their sights on an even bigger and better 2019. Keep your eyes on www.picturesqueband.com to stay up-to-date on the latest news from the Kentucky foursome. "Pray" will be available for streaming this Friday, December 7th at evr.lnk.to/pray.
"'Pray' is about getting out of a long term relationship to find out the dating world has changed. Dating app culture has taken over and it can be lonely - instead of getting the emotional connection you crave, it's all about physical attention," shares lead singer Kyle Hollis. "For me, it became a vicious cycle, ending up with the wrong person, trying to beat the loneliness but only becoming more lonely in the end."
He continues: "The gal in the video symbolizes "the devil" or temptation as well as all the gals the song is about. These girls would sort of ghost and then reappear. Then they would try to seek "affection.""
"Pray" marks a new beginning for Picturesque, who are embracing a new rule: brutal honesty, both musically and within their lives. No more thinly veiled metaphors, only the honest truth. "Pray" is their first foray into this territory, with devastating lyrics fueled by the recent break up of lead singer Kyle Hollis who, after 6 years in a committed relationship, ventured out into the world of dating apps in an attempt to beat loneliness. What he found was a culture fueled by one night hook-ups, ghosting and unbridled desperation. It's a dark and shuddering rock song influenced by artists like blackbear and Post Malone - the first taste of what's to come.
Picturesque is Kyle Hollis (vocals), Zach Williamson (guitar), Dylan Forrester (guitar) and Jordan Greenway (bass). The band released their long-awaited debut full-length, Back to Beautiful, on July 14th, 2017 via Equal Vision Records. The album was recorded in Los Angeles, CA with producer Erik Ron (Saosin, Panic! At The Disco).
Picturesque is led by the truly stunning vocal range and power of Hollis and is supported by equally notable instrumentations that blend rock, post-hardcore and pop influences. The band has toured and shared stages with the likes of I the Mighty, blessthefall, Like Moths To Flames, Our Last Night, SECRETS, SYLAR, and more.
Back To Beautiful can be purchased now at evr.lnk.to/backtobeautiful.

DEAR SEATTLE
Unveil New Single "Daytime TV"
And Announce Debut Album
Don't Let Go
Available for Preorder Now:
Shellharbour, AUS - December 6, 2018 - Sydney's melodic, sing-along, punk rock band Dear Seattle have announced the upcoming release of their debut album Don't Let Go, due out on February 15th, 2019 via Domestic La La. Along with the exciting announcement, the band have unveiled their new single "Daytime TV" and launched pre-orders for the album.
Following on from their latest critically acclaimed single "Maybe", "Daytime TV" is all about the struggle when you find someone you love but have absolutely no idea how to go about letting them know. Is it best friends? Is it lovers? Are they just being polite? You have no idea until you take the plunge and let them in on it. You have to be entirely vulnerable and it's incredibly risky, but it's the only way it will ever turn into something.
Premiered via triple j's Good Nights last night, lead singer Brae Fisher explains the track further: "Musically, I really love this song because it's the first one where I have written the lyrics and vocal melody first before adding the instruments. I think that gives it such a different feel to most of our songs - it's a bit faster and wordier, and I feel the lyrics are more subtle than usual. The whole thing is made to make you want to bop and shout as much as you want to sit still and focus on the nuances."
Dear Seattle's debut album Don't Let Go has been a gradual process, started eighteen months ago with no plan for what it was to be based on. Each track in a way can be a single in its own right, but the album as a whole is a holistic spectrum of what Dear Seattle can be, with no filler tracks and a depth to last for years' worth of listens.
Don't Let Go is available for pre-order here and "Daytime TV" is available now on all digital platforms.
