Austin Band To Watch: Courrier - New Album Q1 2013 + Music Already Feat. In Top TV Shows

SANTA MONICA, CA. (Top40 Charts) "Love is a Fire," the first single from their upcoming album has already been placed in the hit TV show Gossip Girl and the video was selected by MTV for MTVU's Freshman of the Week; the song was produced by Blue October bassist Matt Noveskey. The new album was produced and mixed by British producer Tim Palmer (U2, Pearl Jam) and was mastered by world renown mastering engineer, Justin Shturtz (Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Daughtry) at Sterling Audio.

Their national television placement debut was on The Vampire Diaries with "Between," a song from Courrier's debut full-length album A Violent Flame. "Between" raced up the iTunes alternative chart, peaking at #52. Also this year, Courrier's music has been featured on The CW's 90210, as well as ABC Family's Jane by Design and Pretty Little Liars.

COURRIER creates rich, inspiring soundscapes with their ascending harmonies and radiant guitars. With a penchant for melody in the likes of alt -rock bands like Coldplay, Death Cab for Cutie and singer songwriters Ross Copperman and Jason Walker, Courrier writes songs as soothing as they are sincere. It is in this duality that Courrier finds their message. In the beauty of existence and the pain of experience, lead singer Austin Jones' voice even reflects the honeyed grit of reality, while their massive sound anthems the intimate.
