EVANS BLUE Announces New Singer, Hits The Studio

February 25, 2009

Toronto, Ontario, Canada-based rock band EVANS BLUE is back to work at The Pocket Studios this week, recording its third album with producer Trevor Kustiak. The self-titled album marks the debut of new frontman Dan Chandler, who was selected after an intensive six-month nationwide search. Singer/songwriter Chandler hails from St. Louis, Missouri.

With the addition of Chandler and the energy that he brings to the mix, the band is writing their best and most diverse collection of songs to date. The new material stays true to the core fans with signature dark and heavy riffs, but it is simultaneously uplifting. EVANS BLUE has evolved, and these five musicians are ready to take the band to a higher level. EVANS BLUE fans can expect a new single in April, with the new album to be released on June 23 on Sounds+Sights, coinciding with a U.S. tour this summer.

EVANS BLUE debuted in 2006 with "The Melody and the Energetic Nature of Volume", which spawned the Top 5 Active Rock single "Cold (But I'm Still Here)". The single garnered national attention after Sirius Octane picked it up early, and the band was signed to Hollywood Records. Their second album, "The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal Of Life Ends", was released in July 2007 and debuted at No. 44 on the Billboard Top 200 and No. 9 on the iTunes Rock Albums chart. Since then, the two albums have collectively sold over 650,000 units worldwide. EVANS BLUE has toured North America extensively for the past three years with such artists as BREAKING BENJAMIN, THREE DAYS GRACE, STAIND, SEETHER, SHINEDOWN, TRAPT and TAPROOT.
