NEW YORK, NY (Top40 Charts/ Atlantic Records) - Atlantic Records has announced the upcoming release of Meese's full-length debut, "Broadcast." The Denver-based band's anticipated album - which includes the single, "Next in Line" - will be available in stores and via all online retailers on June 30th. Preorders of the album will be available beginning May 26 through the band's website, www.meesemusic.com, and through Atlantic Records' website, https://store.atlanticrecords.com.
Produced by Sean Beavan (Nine Inch Nails, No Doubt, Depeche Mode), "Broadcast" covers the wide spectrum of the band's many stylistic interests - from guitar-driven rock to avant-garde electronic, from melodic piano pop to four-on-the-floor dance. With a thumping bass line driving soaring guitars and a contagious refrain, "Next in Line" shipped to Modern Rock and Triple A radio outlets last week. The digital single is available for purchase at all digital retailers, and a companion video for the song is in production now.
Meese will lead up to the album's release with a packed touring schedule beginning later this month, when the band plays its first New York City show for the Know Music Series presented by the Village Voice and WRXP. Meese will then join label mate Serena Ryder on a handful of dates before meeting up with Jack's Mannequin and The Fray in July. Additional dates will be announced soon, including dates with Copeland.
Brothers Patrick and Nathan Meese began Meese in 2005, after Nathan joined Patrick in Denver. Not too long thereafter, the band solidified their lineup with Benjamin Haley and Mike Ayars. In 2007, a demo of the band's song "Tell Me It's Over" caught on fire at Denver modern rock powerhouse KTCL/93.3 FM. The band signed to Atlantic later that year. Since then, they've shared the stage with Paramore, Phantom Planet, Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is, Valencia and The Airborne Toxic Event.
