Album Notes

The music from Select Start's first single from Extended Play, "Black Hair That's to Dye For", will being airing in February in an extreme sports/Motocross-themed national TV commercial.

The ad agency declared the song, "The best power pop rock to motocross by."

Select Start's Extended Play is a seamless five song compilation of infectious melodies, captivating harmonies, with a diversity which attacks from the moment you "Select Start" until the EP stops spinning.

Select Start's musical vibe is a blend of power-pop, rock, and punk with a touch of emo. The Select Start sound centers on driving guitars, awesome bass lines, flawless drumming, and a touch of 80's synth rock. The favorite fan description: An 'audiogasm'.

Formed in 2003 when musicians from The Kooks and For the Lost decided to start a band solely for the love of creating music, and the dream of making music as a career one day, Select Start's dream has begun.

Last summer, Select Start recorded, mixed and produced Extended Play at Trumpet Punch (a bedroom studio on a P4/Protools LE/MBox). It was during these sessions that a cameraderie formed which led the EP's producer to join the band in October.

While Select Start's members are still in college, they are determined to get their music out to everyone willing to listen as they play as many local shows as their schedules permit. Select Start is attracting a strong loyal following and is well liked and respected by their peers.

With an increase in shows in 2005, Select Start continues to perfect its live act, as the band works to complete their full-length release mid-2005. They have opened for national touring bands such as Houston Calls, Junior Varsity, and This Day and Age and look forward to opening for a major National act in 2005.

To gain state-wide exposure, they hope to showcase the Florida Music Festival in May and play the Florida stops of the 2005 Warped Tour. at JAX Aug 4th, Tampa Aug 5th, Orlando Aug 6th and Miami Aug 7th.

They actively seek college and alternative radio airplay and e-zine and music press reviews. While currently unsigned, Select Start is working to build a following which will result in signing with management, legal, and label teams who believe in their music and who will work as hard as they do to get their music heard.
