The Rushes - To The Surface (2009)

The Rushes will release the four track 'Corners' EP on April 14th including the songs 'Corners', 'To The Surface', 'What You Waiting For' and 'Get The Feeling'. Their debut album will follow in the summer.

The Rushes arc a four-piece band from South London via Leeds and Birmingham who make surging melodic urig rock, with hooks so catchy they're pure pop. Their songs are designed to be played to huge audiences in stadiums, and they have that anthernic quality necessary to capture the imagination of Joe Public without making concessions or compromising the music's startling power - think the musical attack of the Hold Steady combined with the melodic grace of Snow Patrol.

The Rushes formed in 2006 although Gerard and Dan have been playing together since college in Leeds. The two brothers Gerard and James were brought up in Birmingham. Joe is front Colchester and Dan is from South London. The band is now based in London. They released a 7" vinyl single 'What Are You Waiting For' in November '06 on their own label Frickin' Records.
The band have just finished recording their debut album for Island Records with producer Victor Van Vugt (Athlete, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey).
