New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Fueled By Ramen Records) Fueled By Ramen recording artist Rome has announced details of his much-anticipated debut EP. "DEDICATION" will be available via all leading digital retailers on June 12th.
The "DEDICATION" EP is highlighted by the exhilarating title track, which Rome co-wrote with
Nate Ruess of fun. and Jeff Bhasker (fun., Kanye West, Jay-Z), who also produced the song. "Dedication" is making its worldwide debut today, exclusively via www.RollingStone.com (https://bit.ly/JLBIVT) and will impact alternative radio June 5th. The companion video for "Dedication" is currently in production and will debut later this summer.
"DEDICATION" also includes songs produced and co-written by such studio superstars as Benny
Blanco (Maroon 5, Ke$ha, Wiz Khalifa), Dave Bassett (Shinedown, Halestorm), Robopop (Gym Class Heroes, Lana Del Rey), and The Futuristics (The
Lonely Island Feat.
Justin Timberlake & Lady Gaga). Rome's full length debut album is expected out later this year.
"I've been working on my solo material for almost a year now and I'm so excited to share some of the songs. This EP is a taste of my forthcoming album, and just a huge step for me creatively. I can't wait for everyone to hear it."
Best known as the lead singer of
Sublime with Rome, the California-based artist will premiere tracks from "DEDICATION" at his live solo debut, slated for June 21st at Vans Warped Tour 2012 in Irvine's
Orange County Great Park. From there, Rome will reteam with
Sublime with Rome for an eagerly awaited summer tour (see itinerary below). The North American trek will see the legendary ska-punk combo supported by a rotating lineup of like-minded artists, including Cypress Hill, Matisyahu, Pepper, HB Surround Sound, and The Dirty Heads.

California born and bred singer/songwriter Rome Ramirez first began playing guitar at age 11, and, almost prophetically, many of the first songs he learned were by the famed ska punk band Sublime. Through his teenage years, Rome honed his musical chops and songwriting skills, and, in 2009, met
Sublime co-founder/bassist Eric Wilson who was recording at the same studio. What started out as a jam session developed into a friendship and creative bond. Rome's first major performance as the frontman for
Sublime with Rome came in October 2009 at Cypress Hill's annual Smokeout Festival in front of 20,000 fans. The following year, Rome co-wrote and provided guest vocals on SoCal reggae rock band The Dirty Heads' #1 single "Lay Me Down." In 2011,
Sublime with Rome released "YOURS TRULY," the band's first full length album in over a decade. Produced by Paul Leary, "YOURS TRULY" simultaneously picked up where
Sublime had left off and took their artistic vision to the next level, thanks to the fresh infusion of energy from Rome, who brought in lyrics, melodies, and music he'd written over the past few years. First single "
Panic" was a top 5
Modern Rock hit, and was followed by "Take It Or Leave It" which garnered cross-country radio airplay.
