Unsigned Indie Quartet The Soldier Thread Advances to Spin/Music Nation's Hot Pursuit Quarterfinals, Receives Accolade from Perry Farrell
Austin, TX (PRWEB) October 27, 2007 -- The Soldier Thread, an orchestral, harmony-driven indie act from Austin, TX, has become the latest band to advance to the final round of the Spin Magazine and Music Nation hosted Hot Pursuit contest. The group has received feature treatment on Spin's website as well as glowing accolades from Perry Farrell.
"Experimental sounds underlining serious song writing. Romantic harmonies between the male and female singers. Passionate playing without overly bombastic guitar work. Patient in the arrangement, yet still displaying strong emotions." said Farrell in a post on The Soldier Thread's profile on Music Nation.
Originally a solo project started by guitarist/pianist/songwriter Justin McHugh, guitarist/bassist Todd Abels was quickly added to create a refreshing duo. Soon after, vocalist and violist Patricia Lynn, along with drummer Drew Van Diver, were added to the mix to complete what has now become The Soldier Thread.
The group has already begun to turn heads in their hometown, boasting regular spots at the world-famous Antone's nightclub, which helped to launch the careers of well-known Texas locals Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bob Schneider. Local press is starting to take notice of the band's unique, harmonic vocals and haunting melodies as well.
"Lush instrumentation and powerful builds provide an added buoyancy to the already inspired male/female vocals, in both a live setting and in the recorded version, that belies the band's tender infancy." said Soundcheck Magazine in their online blog.
With their first E.P./Demo "Fevers and Fireworks," The Soldier Thread offers its fans an exciting taste of what's to come. This amazing band promises much, much more in the weeks, months, and years ahead.
