LOS ANGELES (Flicker Records) - Best-selling and award-winning Flicker Records' rock group Pillar has launched the 35-city "Where Do We Go from Here" Tour. Sponsored by Best Buy, the tour features special guests Project 86, subseven and Falling Up, and will hit major markets across the country in support of Pillar's new project, Where Do We Go from Here.
Where Do We Go from Here has seen sales of nearly 100,000 copies in its first three months of release. The first radio single and video from the project, "Bring Me Down," has gained massive exposure at mainstream radio and video.
The song has already hit No 1 at Christian Rock radio and is currently No 22 and rising on the mainstream Active Rock radio chart. The video for the song was recently named Fuse TV's "Next Big Thing" and has received regular airplay on the network's "Rockzilla" show.
Additionally, the video has also received significant exposure on MTV's "Headbanger's Ball," and Pillar recently taped an interview segment for the show in New York.
"I've never been more excited about a tour," said Rob Beckley, lead singer for Pillar. "We're ready to take our new set of songs to our fans. Playing live adds a whole new dimension to the music. It's a solid lineup of great bands, and we can't wait to get started."
Eight years into what has been a whirlwind career, Orange County natives Project 86 are returning to their roots, releasing their fourth studio album Songs to Burn Your Bridges, which released in June on Tooth & Nail Records. Begun in early 1996 as young musicians bonding in their common musical interests and personal beliefs, the band was almost immediately a hit, garnering label interest not only in California, but also as far north as Seattle, WA, where Tooth & Nail owner Brandon Ebel recognized and signed the group in 1998.
Since their indie beginnings in 1999 through signing to EMI-distributed Flicker for their 2004 debut, subseven: the EP, the guys of subseven have been driven by a passion to relate to their fans on more than a surface level. The group's debut has been met with critical praise from fans and peers alike. subseven is currently wrapping up recording their full-length debut for Flicker, set to release in early 2005.
Combining the intensity of modern rock with all the emotion involved in traditional praise and worship, BEC Recordings' Falling Up is here to prove their radical style is not a fleeting attempt at sticking to a trend, but a true declaration of the passion they hold for their ministry. The group's 11-song debut album, Crashings, released in February and was produced by Aaron Sprinkle (Kutless, Anberlin). Describing their sound as "pash rock," the group combines influences of rock, hip-hop, R&B, and metal to complete their project into anthems of dynamism and adulation.
