The Exies' debut indie release, A Modern Way of Living With the Truth, will be available in digital form on MTV's new download store a month before it hits retail, as first track, "Different Than You," Approaches Top 30 Active Rock
LOS ANGELES, CA (April 4th, 2007) - The Exies, the L.A.-based band formed by vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Scott Stevens and bassist Freddy Herrera, continue to do things their way. The band's new album for Eleven Seven Music, A Modern Way of Living With the Truth, their first since 2004, will be available exclusively in digital form at MTV's new download store, URGE | Download URGE for Free | Try URGE All Access To Go music subscription free for 14 days, on April 10. The physical version of the album will go on sale at retail stores nationwide on May 8.
"This is our way of getting the music into the hands of our fans as quickly and efficiently as possible," says lead singer/songwriter Stevens. "It's just a continuation of the new industry model we're following to reach out to old followers and create new ones."
A Modern Way of Living With the Truth will be the bands first for an indie label, with Eleven Seven Music distributed by ADA. The first single from the album, "Different Than You," is approaching the Top 30 at Active Rock, with supporters such as KQRC/Kansas City, KFNK/Seattle, KTBZ/Houston, WIIL/Chicago, KXTE/Las Vegas, Sirius and XM Satellite Radio, WKLQ/Grand Rapids, WBUZ/Nashville, WCCC/Hartford, KDJE/Little Rock, WRIF/Detroit, WLIR/Long Island, WBCX/Wilkes-Barre, WKQZ/Saginaw, WZMR/Albany, WXQR/Greenville. The group, which now includes guitarist Chris Skane, a member of the Exies in one of its earliest incarnations, are currently on tour.
KQRC Ops. Mgr. Bob Edwards raved: "It's great to have the Exies back with a fresh new track! We saw phones on 'Different Than You' in the first week!"
The group released two previous albums for Virgin, 2003's Inertia and 2004's Head for the Door, which produced the Top 10 Active Rock/Modern Rock hit, "Ugly," used by the World Wrestling Entertainment as the theme to their Survivor Series pay-per-view event, as well as the Top 15 Modern Rock hit, "My Goddess."
A Modern Way of Living With the Truth touches on a variety of different styles, from the wistful opening "Leaving Song" and the harsh anti-materialism of "Lay Your Money Down," to the simple piano chords of the regretful "Stray" and the wistful ballad, "My Ordinary World." There's also the propulsive melodic hardcore of "These are the Days," the questioning of the techno-oriented title track and the marvelous re-imagining of the Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime."
The group just came off a SOLD-OUT tour with Buckcherry and Three Days Grace and is now on the road with Smile Empty Soul. For tour dates, go to www.myspace.com/theexies
