A Year to Remember

Boomtown Records is proud to announce the signing of Brisbane band A YEAR TO REMEMBER, and the release of their debut EP ‘Targets’ this coming July.

It’s been over a year since Boomtown has added any Australian acts to it’s roster, and they’ve spent the time waiting for the perfect band to catch their ears and eyes. Boomtown came across A YEAR TO REMEMBER on the recommendation of both industry friends, staff of Blunt Magazine and members of bands already on the label. In the limited shows the band had played, they managed to impress all the right people, and as soon as Boomtown Records’ A&R Manager Luke Logemann heard the recorded material, he knew this was a band the label should work with.

Luke Logemann said, “This band is the perfect summer party music. Fun, catchy, clever and quirky – even in the cold Melbourne winter, the music makes it feel like a warm December night drinking on a friend’s balcony. They take the best elements of classic Aussie bands like Lo-Tel and Jebediah, and mix it with the synth punk pop of The Get Up Kids and Motion City Soundtrack. Everyone at Boomtown is extremely excited about this band.”

Hailing from Brisbane, A YEAR TO REMEMBER are at an average age of just 20 years old. They like to party and write music, and are getting ready to release their debut EP, ‘Targets’, this July on their new label. The EP includes 5 songs that the band had previously pressed onto the CD themselves and sold at live shows, as well as a new track ‘We Stayed’, which they recorded especially for the re-release. The six-song EP will be released via Boomtown Records on July 5. Fans can get an exclusive MP3 download of the first single ‘Bombs’ right now at www.killyourstereo.com.

A YEAR TO REMEMBER also managed to catch the attention of Destroy All Lines booking agency, who have added the band to their roster.
