Tremolo's music is featured in the New Line Cinema release "How to Deal". Tremolo is the only band on the soundtrack put out by Capitol Records that is not signed. Several newspapers and Rolling Stone surveys agree that "Promise Ring" is a stand out track on the album alongside such seasoned veterans as Beth Orton, The Flaming Lips, John Mayer and Liz Phair. This cd includes the same track from the soundtrack.
BIO:
"It's what happens when T-Rex and U2 are exiled on Main street."
If New York City was San Francisco, then Brooklyn would be Oakland, California. Home to MC Hammer, Jim Jones' Peoples Temple, and ((TREMOLO)). With only a year under its belt, ((TREMOLO)) has recorded several tracks garnering attention from several record companies, publishing companies, movie soundtracks, management companies, and print media.
It all started when Justin Dillon hooked up with friend Steve Bowman (Counting Crows Drummer, "August and Everything After" era) to record some demos for a band he was starting. Justin is no stranger to the studio and stage having released independent records with his former band selling more than 25,000 internationally on the WEA distribution system achieving AAA and college radio play. He has toured with bands like Sixpence None The Richer and played European Jubilee 2000 concerts with the Blind Boys Of Alabama. Justin along with Steve Bowman and other members of the SF vintage mafia tracked 4 songs in the legendary Fantasy Studios. The band insists on recording foregoing the pop path of laboratory recording. ((TREMOLO)) performed its first show in SF to a sold out crowd of nearly 200. Within a few weeks record companies were calling. However ((TREMOLO)) was finding it's recordings were moving around the scene quicker than they imagined.
Finding it difficult to perform/showcase in LA with a band from Northern California, Justin decided to find musicians in LA. He met guitar player Dino Meneghin (Liz Phair) along with drummer Clint Stapleton (Horse Stories). They soon met up with bass player Tim Hogan (Leroy/Hollywood Records, Zen Dakota /Columbia, Marshall Law /Atlantic). In August 2002 the new ((TREMOLO)) decided to go into seclusion to focus on becoming a band and recording new tracks. 2003 will be the year the world finally gets to hear what has been brewing.
Tremolo has been written up in Hits magazine and featured with A and R Network/Clear Channel. They have had songs radio tested along side the likes of Sheryl Crow and received marks worthy of airtime. They have a song in a major film release in spring 2003 put out by New Line Cinema called "How To Deal" starring Mandy Moore. Capitol Records have included Tremolo in the movies soundtrack alongside John Mayer, The Flaming Lips and Beth Orton. The record is expected to go gold given her last soundtrack soundscaned near 700,000.

VERY ADDICTING!

Most definitley the most catchy lyrics and a very good lead singer. I found out about the band from my church when i got the chance to meet Justin Dillon, the lead singer of Tremolo. He is my pastor's brother, which is one of the reasons why I love his music so much. And the whole thing with him giving half of his earnings to a charity is the most awesome thing I've ever heard an artist do. This cd is one everyone should have in their c.d players, on their mp3 players, in their car or wherever. It's Awesome!!!!

Imagine a perfect combination between modern powerpop a’la The Tories, Cheap Tri
author: Pär Winberg
I’m totally stunned over this 7 track mini CD. It’s so damn well produced and performed that I’m just sitting here with a big freekin smile all over my face. Imagine a perfect combination between modern powerpop a’la The Tories, Cheap Trick and Flickerstick mixed with a little more modern rock edge and some U2 vibes. Damn… The opener “Evil Twin” is absolutely stunning and a contender for top 20 of best songs 2003 and second out “You were born for this” is not long after. Third out, the softer “Promise Ring” continues the melodic masturbation with a Jellyfish goes Elton John (early 70’s Elton that is) kinda refrain. Fourth out is the little more suggestive and retroedged “Mama Superior” and fifth out you have another soft track called “Wait Up For Me”, which is another perfect proof for this great CD. Sixth out is called “Waiting Room” is just a plain good track with a lot of Cheap Trick vibes and the ending track “Blessed Be” is as the one before just another good album track. As you understand, it’s nothing to discuss. Surf your way to their homepage and purchase a copy right away. Tremolo kicks ass.

EVIL TWIN is jammin'; the hook after "meet my evil twin" is infectious. YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS is a great rave up. you do not need the media to tell you what to listen to; listen to what you like. the songs are nicely crafted with good lyrics. i can put this in my player and just enjoy. nothing better than that. PROMISE RING is nice, but MAMA SUPERIOR is not one of my favorites. WAIT UP FOR ME and WAITING ROOM are very listenable. BLESSED BE is a good, rockin' closer with great instrumentation. this band should be big time...do not sleep on the chance to hear some great music.

Good Power Pop
author: Fresh Tuneage
If you like power pop, ala The Smithereens and The Knack, then check out You Were Born For This by Oakland's own Tremolo. Starts off strong with Evil Twin and the outstanding You Were Born For This. Slows down a bit in the middle but finishes strong.
