Rock Band DecembeRadio Inks Deal with Slanted Records
New Band's Classic Rock Style Sets Them Apart

BRENTWOOD, Tenn.-December 20th, 2005-Slanted Records, the rock/pop imprint of parent company Spring Hill Music Group, has just signed an exclusive recording agreement with up-and-coming rock band DecembeRadio.

Based in Blacksburg, Va., DecembeRadio, made up of Josh Reedy, Brian Bunn and Eric Miker, brings its own style of rock 'n roll to the Christian music scene. The group's classic rock vibe is accented by Southern rock influences. Their style is further defined by gripping guitar rifts, slamming rhythms, organic interpretations and high-energy performances.

DecembeRadio's "vintage," straight-ahead rock tunes with a modern edge create a musical style that is being described as having "hints of Lenny Kravitz and Led Zeppelin combined with elements of The Black Crowes, Jet and Lynyrd Skynyrd."

"You meet these guys and think, 'wow, great guys.' You see and hear them play and go, 'Wow! They rock!'" describes David Ecrement, director of marketing for Slanted Records. "We will be placing heavy emphasis on the live aspect of what they do-that's where the dots really connect. We are working on a 'market by market' approach to get this band heard and seen-that is key for them."

"We want to make great rock and roll music that reaches this generation for Christ," explains Reedy. "We want to use the passion for music God has given us to reach people...it's what we love, and we have a blast doing it!"

DecembeRadio's national debut, produced by veteran artist/producer Scotty Wilbanks (Third Day, Overflow, NewSong), is scheduled to release late summer/early fall of 2006.

Early buzz about the group spread after the 2005 Rock Summit, held in Columbus, Ohio, where the group was voted "breakout band of the year" by over 25 stations who attended the event. DecembeRadio has already begun to hit Christian hit radio markets as well, which they will continue doing through the spring and summer of '06.

"The first time that I heard DecembeRadio, I knew there was something special there," describes Derek Bruner, national radio promoter for Slanted Records. "As I got to know them, I knew this was a band that the world needs to hear. They are one of the tightest bands I've heard, giving 110% every time they take the stage.

"The final piece of the puzzle is who they are as people," continues Bruner. "Whether it is a one-on-one conversation or a concert in front of thousands, DecembeRadio is transparent in their passion for what they do, why they do it and Who they do it for."

DecembeRadio's debut release will be distributed by Word Distribution/WEA with digital distribution by EMI CMG Distribution.
