Absentstar Sea Trials Available In Stores Today

LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Columbia Records) - Canvas Back Music and Columbia Records present the CD release of Absentstar's Sea Trails in stores today!

Sea Trials, the major label debut from rising young Chicago-based rock band Absentstar, will be released April 15, 2008 on Canvasback Music/Columbia Records. Absentstar's four-song EP is already generating attention, as the Cleveland Plain Dealer says, 'the band is sure to bring a bit of air to all those radio-music addicts burnt out on the sugar-pill pop sound.' Absentstar is on tour now. Please see reverse for a complete schedule.

Sea Trials was recorded with singer/songwriter/producer Dan Wilson at the Terrarium Studio in Minneapolis and mixed by Michael Brauer (John Mayer, Coldplay, My Morning Jacket, among others). Wilson, whose solo debut will come in October on American Recordings, took home a Song Of The Year Grammy in February for co-writing 'Not Ready To Make Nice' with the Dixie Chicks.
