Description
Escalator Hill has made appearances at music festivals like the Hollywood Fringe Festival, played in acclaimed establishments like Fillmore Poster Room in San Francisco and The Echo in Los Angeles, and has actively toured California, Arizona, and Nevada. They are ranked #8 out of 300 LA artists in the folk rock web buzz genre on the Deli Magazine and their debut album, 'Poplar Avenue' was listed on Radio Free Silverlake's Top 10 albums of 2011. Completing a October month-long residency at the Social Aid and Pleasure Club in Santa Monica, CA, they were also featured artists on Knockandrock.com-a web series highlighting independent songwriters and bands. Escalator Hill has a partnership with Itunes, Spotify, and Band Camp-offering a multitude of ways to listen. Buzz Bands writes, "The adrenaline-fueled folk-rock of L.A. quintet Escalator Hill draws as much influence from the big indie collectives of this era as the past's purveyors of Americana."For more info about the band, travel to their website at http://www.escalatorhill.com.
Beginning as a collection of songs by Andrew Carroll, The Lonely Wild quickly came to life with the help of Ryan Ross, Andrew Schneider, Edward Cerecedes, and Jessi Williams. Their powerful live performances won favor among audiences and critics, and the band was soon selling out shows in both Los Angeles and San Francisco, and touring the country, supporting their debut EP, “Dead End.”
Their first five-track effort was independently released on limited edition vinyl and it landed at #4 on Bandcamp’s Top Selling Charts. “Dead End” soon found its way into regular rotation on KXLU, and it created a stir in the blogosphere, earning The Lonely Wild multiple residencies backed by Radio Free Silver Lake, Buzz Bands L.A., Grimy Goods, and Supergood Music. They’re currently recording their highly anticipated full-length follow-up, which is due to release in early 2012.
