THE NEW FUTURES.


2nd single from Seattle, US band THE NEW FUTURES.

Released 18th June 2013.

It's a great piece of alternative pop and is a little taster of things to come from this great new find for the label. It even has a saxophone solo!

It's from the "Radioactive" e.p, which is released on July 2nd 2013. This also features the first single "Sunshine."

The New Futures are:

Sammy J. Riddle - Founder/Singer/Guitar
Gustavo Carmo - Guitar
Chip Reno - Bass 
Robert Ray "Baker" Jr. - Drums

"Ocean" is a great pop song and will have you singing along by the end of it. It's one of those songs that gets stuck in your head all day.

They've been picking up lots of coverage in the States:

-New Music Weekly
-U Musicians
-Palace of Rock
-Music News Nashville
-Vents Magazine

They have an e.p. release party on July 5th in Seattle at the renowned "Crocodile" club.

Sammy's bio - His father was a working musician and Sammy had a guitar in his hands from the age of 5. He knew from the age of 8, music is what he was gonna do with his life. After dabbling in his teens with drink and drugs, he soon realised he had to clean up or his music was not going to happen. He has been sober ever since. He's now 27.

He met the love of his life when he was just 17 and married her soon after, taking on role of father to her 2 sons (aged 7 and 8 at the time.) Sammy and Janaea are still blissfully happy together with another son to add to the clan.

Being a young father of 3, Sammy had mouths to feed, and took on many roles - from selling mortgages and cars to setting up his own painting company in Seattle. Things seemed to be going well to the outsider looking in - but Sammy had a giant gaping hole in his soul as he wasn't moving forward with his music.

Bass players, drummers and keyboard players came and went, but then suddenly about a year ago, things clicked. With a new drummer, Chip back on bass and Gustavo sounding amazing on guitars, The New Futures were born.

Gustavo's bio - Is from Brazil. His mother worked in a bank and his father owned the first FM radio station in the city of Bebedouro. He was also a professional musician at least 3 days a week. Gustavo had easy access to all sorts of music (and freebie records) at his Dads radio station, but didn't become interested in playing music until the age of 12.

He went to college to study computers but kept up guitar lessons (classic and rock) for another 5 years. Gustavo and his brother Rodrigo started a band called "Versover" and they made 4 albums in Brazil and had some success. Until the record label owner ran off without trace - taking their money with him.

Throughout his life there's been a theme of "music or computers?" With The New Futures, he gets to do both. He prefers music though;-)

Chip's bio - Former party animal and trouble maker turned entrepreneur. Very business-minded and received a degree in Computer Information Systems. He fell in love with the idea of using business expertise to improve the world and decided to set up a social enterprise centred on international consulting (iconleaders.org) Loves being in the band and playing bass too;-)

And finally...."Baker" comes from a musical background and has been playing drums since he was 3. He's been a musician for over 2 decades and is still only 24 years old! He's played in many types of band - from R n B to hip hop, funk and jazz and is now loving his time in The New Futures.

Their fan base is growing in the States and now the track is coming to these shores, we think it's gonna get a little bit bigger!

The future's bright for The New Futures.
