NEW
YORK (Virgin Records) - Following their critically acclaimed debut
record Inertia, which had Rolling Stone hailing them as one of the 10
bands to watch and "a feast of audacious rhythm guitars supporting
smart, insinuating hooks that can also smack you sideways" and Spin
proclaiming "they do STP the way the
Vines do Nirvana: faster, slicker,
more obvious," the Exies returned with their sophomore release, Head
For The Door on Virgin Records - November 30, 2004. After touring for
over a year in support of Inertia, the Exies returned to Los Angeles
where the band set out to carve a new sound fueled by the energy of
their live shows and highlighting the band's adrenaline filled presence
on stage. They recruited the talents of Grammy-winning rock producer
Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters,
Velvet Revolver) to help hone the new
songs. The result - a raw, kick-ass, take-no-prisoners rock record.
"Ugly,"
the first single off Head For The Door was a top 5 most added song at
Active Rock radio in its first week and the video won FUSE's "Oven
Fresh Keepers" competition, which sparked an early appearance on "The
Daily Download" on October 14th. An appearance on WB's The Mountain
where they perform "Ugly" and "Tired of You" aired on November 14th,
while the video was featured on MTV 2's "New Faces Of Rock" show the
week of November 15th. Another live performance on FUSE on November
30th (day of release), a recent stint on the
Velvet Revolver tour, a
performance on The Late Late Show January 14th, and a performance at
the Blender Magazine Sundance party in Salt Lake City, UT on January
20th rounded out the initial launch for the record.
