 LOS ANGELES, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Shout! Factory Records) - There is no such thing as June gloom for the Tom Fuller Band (www.tomfullerband.com). The second single 'Only In America' from the new album Abstract Man is No 1 'most added' this week debuting at No 78 on the FMQB AC Chart along with such notables as Josh Groban, Fergie, Sheryl Crow and Alanis Morissette. The 'Syracuse Post Standard's' Mark Bialczak says, 'With an acoustic guitar and equal parts angst and hope, Tom Fuller sounds like a young Tom Petty�' And in a recent live review, the same reporter stated that, 'The Tom Fuller Band, out of Chicago, warmed up the early arrivers with a comfortable rock edge and full knowledge of the special feel for this weekend. Fuller further won over hearts by dedicating his song 'Only in America' to those who serve us overseas. Perfect for Memorial Day weekend as he sang about this land where we're free to dream what we dream and see what we see.' Tapping into the legacy of rock's greatest music while looking ahead, Fuller embodies a consciousness of cool offering a pop sensibility with an edge that can be traced from late '60s-Beatles through Oasis in the '90s up to present-day. Formed in Chicago, the Fuller Band made its debut with Chasing An Illusion, produced by Nashville hit-maker Rick Chudacoff, whose credits range from legends like the Temptations and Smokey Robinson to Grammy-winning country-bluegrass queen Alison Krauss. The acclaimed album generated a string of 5 top 5 FMQB / AC hits that included 'Back Again' and 'Dare to Love.' The group reunited with Chudacoff for its new follow-up album, Abstract Man. 'It's the culmination of 14 songs which can all stand on their own on mainstream radio,' Fuller says. 'This collection has the same kind of thought-provoking lyrics I wrote on Chasing, but where the first album had a lot of ballads, the majority of songs on Abstract Man are uptempo, killer rock.'
