About the Artist
EPK Video : http://vimeo.com/12799084Bronze Radio Return is a band you’ve heard hundreds of times – between nearly 100 syncs on American Idol, HBO and more, appearances at SXSW and on The Rock Boat, and over 500,000 views for their music on YouTube – they are a band who has become a part of your musical awareness without you even knowing it.
The Hartford, Connecticut based sextet found their beginnings at one of the country’s best music institutions, The Hartt School. The band recorded and released their first album Old Time Speaker independently in 2009. SHAKE! SHAKE! SHAKE!, their second and latest full-length studio album, was also released independently in 2011 and garnered a #4 debut on the Billboard Northeast Regional Heatseekers Chart upon its release. The success of the album earned them the attention of DigSin, who signed the band earlier this year. For the creation of this album, the band enlisted producer Chad Copelin (Green River Ordinance, Ben Rector) and took some time to record the album in Copelin’s home state of Oklahoma, where locals would pop in and lend the band an ear, and of course, instruments. The result was an album full of hand-clappable, sing-alongable songs – with every single track on the album garnering a sync since its release.
The band is no stranger to touring either, having sold out headlining shows in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and their hometown of Hartford. Bronze Radio Return has also played in support of John Mayer, John Legend, Blues Traveler, and Grace Potter & The Nocturnals.
