推薦給大家聽看看,還不錯的POP BAND。
Boyce Avenue, a Florida-based band popular for its strong acoustic roots and
melodic rock sound, consists of the three brothers Alejandro, Fabian, and
Daniel Manzano. The band first came together in 2000, when Alejandro (lead
vocals, guitar, piano) and Fabian (guitar, vocals), then 14 and 16 years old,
respectively, started playing guitar. Within 3 months, Alejandro and Fabian
took to the stage with their older brother Daniel (bass, percussion, vocals),
then 20 years old, to perform before an audience of over 350 at a Pine View
High School show. This would be the first of many public performances for the
band at the school where its members had all been students together
throughout their childhoods.
In the years that followed, the band was separated geographically, while
Fabian pursued an Architecture degree at the University of Florida and Daniel
left Florida to attend Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Nonetheless, during this period, Boyce Avenue assembled at every available
opportunity to collaborate musically. It was not until October of 2004 and
the subsequent months, however, that Boyce Avenue would really come into its
own. Daniel, who had recently graduated from law school, reconnected with the
band in Florida as its full-time bassist, and Alejandro, at the age of 18,
launched into writing the band's first original song, "Find Me." In the
following months, the band performed locally in its hometown of Sarasota, and
in April of 2005, the band hit the stage at Pine View High School for the
last time. The band's performance at the Mr. Pine View competition, an event
which Alejandro would go on to win, was covered in the local press.
Upon Alejandro's graduation from high school, he joined Fabian at the
University of Florida, in Gainesville, where the band refined its signature
sound playing out in traditional venues like Market Street and Side Bar. In
October of 2006 and the months that followed, the band recorded its first
three singles at Nickel and Dime Studios near Atlanta, Georgia. The project
was engineered by Kris Sampson (Train, the Black Crowes) and produced by Don
McCollister (Sister Hazel, Third Day). In 2007 and 2008, Boyce Avenue was
honored in several songwriting competitions judged by a host of accomplished
and renowned music industry artists, professionals, and executives. The band
qualified as a Southeast Semifinalist in the 2007 IMWS competition; "All The
While" was selected as a Semi-Finalist in the 2007 International Songwriting
Competition, and as one of twelve Lennon Award Winners in the 2007 John
Lennon Songwriting Contest; "Find Me" was selected as a Finalist in the Pop
category for the U.S.A. Songwriting Competition; and "Hear Me Now (piano
acoustic)" was selected as a finalist in the Best Group/Duo category for the
IAMA songwriting competition, and as a finalist in the 2008 International
Songwriting Competition.
Focused on the completion of a debut album, Boyce Avenue took a hiatus from
its public performance schedule to write, produce, and record additional
singles. In July of 2007, the band returned to Atlanta, Georgia, this time to
record three songs at the Electron Gardens Studio in the historic Biltmore
Hotel. These songs were engineered by Gary Pfaff and Tim Delaney, and were
produced by Boyce Avenue. In October of the same year, the band finished
tracking for the debut album with the recording of two songs at RMP Studios
in Orlando, Florida. The final three songs for the album, "Dare To Believe,"
"On My Way," and "Hear Me Now (piano acoustic)" were engineered at RMP
Studios by Veit Renn (Jennifer Hudson) and Adam Barber (Creed, Shinedown,
Alterbridge), and were produced by Boyce Avenue.
The debut album, titled “All You’re Meant To Be,” was released by Boyce
Avenue on March 25, 2008. All of the songs were mixed by Austin Deptula
(Eisley, New Found Glory), and the entire project was mastered by Rodney
Mills (Pearl Jam, REM, Sheryl Crow). The physical album is available
worldwide exclusively through www.campuscustom.com/boyceavenue, while the
download versions can be found on iTunes/Amazon.com/Rhapsody/Napster/eMusic.
Since the album's release, it has been written about in CNN Money, the Kings
of A&R, and in other press, its songs have been featured on various MTV
shows, and the band has established itself as one of the top 8 Artists of
All-Time on YouTube, with over 90 million hits. Most recently, "All You're
Meant To Be" has been licensed for sale nationwide in the Philippines through
MCA Music, and is on path to Gold status. On the strength of the band's
touring success in the United States and the Philippines, the band is poised
to launch a worldwide tour in 2009.
