Overzealous | NEW EP “The Valley” is complete! Murfreesboro Rock Band
Local band overzealous has just finished a new EP called “The Valley.” Overzealous will also be playing BOROSTOCK 2010 on August 19th at the Boro Bar and Grill (Greenland Ave) with other local bands The Avery Set and The Only Sons.
The new EP “The Valley” is unique and special for overzealous because it was produced completely independently and all songs were recorded to tape at a local home studio in Murfreesboro.
These songs are meant to be an outburst of new emotions from members Dustin Sellers, Brad Crittenden, and Nick Morrow. Songs like “Darling One” and “The Valley” tap into a melodic style of brit-pop that is still original and showcases a taste of the newer material. The band is eager to put out as many songs as possible within the next coming months. Sellers and Crittenden have a 10 year history of writing together, so a lack of material will not be an issue anytime soon.
“A lot of our material has really never been heard”, Crittenden stated. ”Sometimes I’ll write an entire piece and have Dustin add harmonies or guitar parts and vice versa. Other times we collaborate from the ground up and record the demos ourselves on whatever instruments we start with. Since we both play piano and various other instruments, it has opened a lot of doors for the writing. Now its to the point where we can feed of each other’s material for inspiration and new ideas. Some of our songs sound like upbeat poppy piano tunes, while others are darker songs, or in your face rock like STP, Foo Fighters, or Weezer. We are definitely a rock inspired band overall, but we have a lot of variety in our songs that some people may not even be aware of .”
Sellers says “its just the beginning of an ever growing sound from overzealous. We have so much new material and old material that has built up, the hard part is fitting it all together in the right spot. I want to purge all the music that we’ve done since we started overzealous, even if its releasing the recordings as they are. There is a lot of character on some of our old home demos, and I want to share the best of those with people.”
The Valley will be released for sale and download later in August. Be sure to check these guys out live around the Southeast this Fall.
