About
Barcelona, Low VS Diamond
Label: N/A
Seattle melodic rock quartet Barcelona is currently touring in support of their first full length album, Absolutes, which was released to stores nationwide on September 25, 2007. The independent release is licensed and distributed by Curb Appeal Records and the band has an exclusive, worldwide deal with Warner Chappell Publishing.What began as a solo project two years ago has matured into the four-piece, melodic, indie rock machine of Barcelona.
After recording his solo debut Safety Songs, up-and-coming Seattle singer/songwriter Brian Fennell (vocals, keyboards) joined with his childhood friend Brian Eichelberger (bass, strings) and college friends Chris Bristol (Guitar) and Rhett Stonelake (drums) to form what is now Barcelona.
As the group began to tour in support of Safety Songs, the chemistry clicked, the sound evolved and a loyal fan base began to grow.
Attracting the attention of A&R execs, the band did the song and dance of major label showcases but became restless and ultimately returned to Seattle to refocus their attention on songwriting for a debut disc to be released on their own label, NBD Music.
Using "Numb," "Response," and "Colors" - three tracks from Fennell's solo disc Safety Songs - as the anchor, Barcelona crafted a new batch of piano-based melodic songs that would become Absolutes.
During the recording, the band was courted by renowned publishing heavyweight Warner Chappell to an exclusive co-publishing deal that helped secure distribution for the disc through Curb Appeal Records.
Now, with their first full-length album under their belts, Barcelona is hitting the road to showcase the new songs for the fan base they've built on the west coast, and beyond.
