\u00a0<\/strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n

ALL THE LOCALS TO RELEASE EP IN OCTOBER<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Atlanta, GA-based group All The Locals is set to release its second EP, All The Locals II<\/em>, on October 29, 2013.\u00a0 All The Locals II<\/em> is refreshingly diverse and expansive, traversing burly blues-rock, back-porch soul-pop, and hip-hop gospel. \u00a0The record was produced by John Briglevich (Shawn Mullins, James Brown, Outkast) at Sonica Studios in Atlanta, Georgia.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The EP leadoff single, \u201cHead Strong,\u201d combines shimmering modern-rock atmospherics with a pared down, purposeful hip-hop groove. It\u2019s an impactful and seamless fusion of aesthetics, and the song is currently picking up traction on Triple A Radio.\u00a0 Their debut EP, All The Locals<\/em>, landed airplay on over 100 college radio stations and was a Georgia Music Awards finalist.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It\u2019s a powerful union of musical and cultural backgrounds that\u2019s been fortified by ATL living together and cultivating deep connections as a musical family. The four-piece\u2019s moniker evokes this sense of coming together in a pure and natural way.\u00a0 \u201cThe name has a real communal feel,\u201d Schmarkey says. \u201cIt reflects the diversity of the music because when you travel, you always know the place best places to visit are where the locals are. So, on one level, it reflects our traveling musicality, always going to that down home place in the music.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

When singer-songwriter-keyboardist John Schmarkey and blues guitarist wunderkind Ty Barksdale lost their respective childhood bands, they teamed up to write songs as a catharsis. While sharing in loss and creativity, they discovered a profound connection that re-awoke their dedication to music.\u00a0 Rounding out the band are Christian Camp (bass) and Denorris \u201cDeno\u201d Pennyman (drums).\u00a0 Schmarkey writes cleverly literate lyrics with earthy emotionality and brings an unassuming flavor with his keyboard prowess. Barksdale is steeped in blues and adds a lightning rod of dynamics with his fluid style. The rhythm section of Pennyman and Camp\u2014who both came up in Atlanta\u2019s musically rigorous gospel scene\u2014is telepathically funky, adroitly shifting feels while keeping the beat consistently bumping.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Live the band hits somewhere between a soul revue and a Bruce Springsteen show\u2014sweat-soaked and celebratory.\u00a0 They plan to tour in support of the new EP, with a number of shows already confirmed (see tour schedule below).<\/p>\n
