FULCRUM

"FULCRUM" is a Denver, Colorado based modern rock group that embraces a fresh take on modern hard rock, paying extra attention to the lost art of melody. Extremely focused on writing strong, accessible material, songwriter Jason Marino admires and is influenced by contemporary pop hit-makers like Brandon Boyd of Incubus, Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Matthew Bellamy of Muse. Fulcrum has recorded with Andrew Berlin and Jason Livermore (Rise Against/Tickle Me Pink) at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, CO. Via a meld of alternative pop, post-punk and modern electronica, Fulcrum’s song-craft, contagious melodies and expert musicianship is drawing comparison to current chartbusters like Incubus, The Foo Fighters, and Foster The People.

Fulcrum’s songs have been getting radio airplay on both college and commercial radio stations across Colorado, as well as in markets as far away as London, which is quite exciting. Denver’s mainstream radio station KTCL (93.3 FM) has added Fulcrum to its play list for both daytime airplay and its “Locals Only” show. Since their debut live show in early 2006, Fulcrum plays out on the average of several times per month, with the frequency of bookings having steadily increased. In December 2008, Fulcrum performed at the Hometown for the Holidays competition – sponsored by radio station KTCL 93.3 FM – where they placed in the Top 3 out of over 200 bands, as well as in the top 10 the following year. In September 2011, the band placed 3rd in Channel 93.3's BIG GIG contest, where they were voted to play the local stage at the BLINK 182 / MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE tour date in Denver, CO. The group is now consistently being booked at large venues, major universities, and music festivals while preparing for their much anticipated album release in the Fall.
