Thursday, September 10th, 2009

WAVE ARRAY is a San Francisco Bay Area born four-piece indie rock band who formed in 2006. Their sound resonates frequencies of human emotion and thought buried beneath the preoccupation of everyday life using vibrant guitar

and bass work, driving rhythms, and palpable melodies. Wave Array’s eclectic compositions of melodic vamps and hard hitting jams stretch the limits of rock into the psychedelic/experimental realm and have already sparked the interest along the West Coast, the online music community, and national radio.

Press

“There’s a deep fluidity in the songs of Wave Array

that makes the group not just another drop in the

ocean of psychedelic garage-rock bands.”

- Delfín Vigil of San Francisco Chronicle

Spotlight: Confined Media

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

As an ongoing blog series, our Spotlight will feature our latest clients worthy of recognition and exposure. Usually it will focus on their bio and facts, but occasionally we will add our own personal review, thoughts or even interview with them. These people have stood out to us, and we feel it undeniable to show you how interesting they are. Check out the sites, listen to the music, think about their style.

First, we would like to introduce you to our friends at Confined Media. Soon we will talk about some of their artists, but to start we felt it would be appropriate to expose you to the great label behind them.

Confined Media is a Seattle-based label, working to stretch the edges of the club music concept. With no genre boundaries, the people working to produce music under the label are looking to make tunes that are danceable, smart, accessible, or experimental; music that catches the ear. Releasing the first EP in 2007, productions have ranged from DJ-friendly, groovy tunes, to trials in sound that bend the possibilities of live performance. Trying to keep up with the latest technology, label members are trying to push forward into unexplored realms of music using the latest innovations in sound production. Overall, Confined Media, as a record label, is trying to take itself and its artists as seriously as possible without losing their initial intent – to entertain people and have fun doing it.
