Bio
Taking pride in its ability to rise from the ashes... Souls Release is a phoenix for its members. Founded in 2003, this New Jersey based indie band has been writing, recording, and performing music truly driven from inside.
Souls Release regularly tours various regions of the US. Their passionate live show sparks an undeniable connection between band and audience allowing SR to gain fans all over the country.
During breaks from their busy 2004 performance schedule, Souls Release recorded tracks for their first CD, Go. Released to rave reviews, the self-produced four-song EP was hailed as One of the Top Ten Local Releases of 2004 by Gary Wien of Upstage Magazine.
Inspired by the success of Go, Souls Release headed back to the studio in 2005 to record their debut full-length album with veteran producer Bob Perry. The resulting record, entitled Through the Feeling, captured the true essence of the Souls Release sound.
Released in late 2005, Through the Feeling garnered early critical acclaim. Matt Mrowicki of Chorus and Verse magazine described the album as "ten tracks that showcase the band's diverse styles and influences in a coherent whole that flows effortlessly from beginning to end. The band alternatively rocks and rolls with a lot of soul infused into the mix, bringing the emotion seeping out of the speakers."
On the strength of Through the Feeling, Souls Release received 2005 Asbury Music Awards nominations in the Best Pop/Rock Band, Best Release, and Best Song categories. Not just a local success, the record has made waves on a national level as well, receiving airplay on over 150 radio stations across the US and Canada. As a result of this airplay, Through the Feeling was the 15th most added record to the CMJ Radio 200 Charts in January 2006, a rarity for a self-released independent recording.
Following a lineup change in mid-2006, Souls Release was presented with the challenge to rise again. Stripping down to the pure essence of their songs, Nick Ferriero, Sean Calcamuggio, and Erik Brescher have forged forward... carrying on the tradition of SR rock.
We invite you to experience the powerfully intimate vibe of Souls Release!!
