El Camino Media signs Battleme!!
We are excited to announce that we have signed Battleme from Portland, OR! Battleme was originally a solo project of Matt Drenik, who was formerly the frontman of the awesome Austin based band Lions. After 3 years, an EP, full length LP several synch's in Sons of Anarchy, Battleme became more than a side project. Matt Messer met Matt Drenik while he was working at EMI and the two bonded over air guitar solo's during Jellyfish songs. Drenik explained the signing by saying "Matt Messer and I have wanted to work together since we met when he was at EMI. He has great taste in music and never pushed any ideas my way that I didn't welcome. When he told me he was starting El Camino Media, I immediately wanted in. It felt like a family to me. We are gonna make records and rule the world."
For his sophomore effort and debut on El Camino Media, Drenik (guitar and vocals) wanted to deliver great rock hooks and channel his inner T-Rex. To accomplish this, he enlisted fellow Portland natives Eric Johnston (Bass), Zach Richards (Drums) and Evan Railton (Synths).
In addition to a new label and a full band, Battleme has also brought in producer Doug Boehm (Girls, Guided By Voices, Devo, Booker T. Jones) to help take the record to the next level. Drenik and Bohem connected via their mutual hometown of Cincinnati, OH. After exchanging thoughts on some demos, Drenik knew Boehm was the right man for the job. "We've got the same blood, that gnarly Ohio River water is still in our system. And the guy makes some of the best sounding rock & roll records around."
The album is currently being tracked in the band's hometown of Portland at Jackpot Studio's. After laying down the basic tracks, Battleme and Doug will move the recording process down to Los Angeles for overdubs and to mix the LP at Hobby Shop studios.
We will be releasing releasing an EP from Battleme this summer and a full length LP in early 2014.
In the mean time check out Battleme's epic video for "Touch." The track comes from Battlme's 2012 self titled album.

El Camino Media to release the new album from Digital Daggers this June
We are excited to announce our first release! One June 11th, 2013 we are going to be putting out the new album from Digital Daggers entitled Close Your Eyes.
Digital Daggers are a L.A. based duo -- consisting of vocalist Andrea Wasse and multi instrumentalist and producer Jason “Space” Smith. The bands new record Close Your Eyes marks a startling leap forward for the band, who dig deeper than ever into their rich musical rapport and shared personal history to deliver 10 raw, personally-charged soundscapes that will leave the listener wanting more. Andrea explained the emotion behind the album by saying “Our music is very much influenced by feeling lost and lonely- just trying to figure things out”
Digital Daggers’ self released their first album, The Devil Within, in early 2012 and it immediately caught the ears of music supervisors everywhere. The album had tracks placed in numerous movies, TV shows, video games and commercials including the Vampire Diaries, Nikita and Pretty Little Liars. With Close Your Eyes the band aims to broaden their reach and to achieve that goal that they have established a partnership with us (El Camino Media), which is owned and operated by the bands former EMI Publishing A&R rep Matt Messer.
“Out Of My Head”, the first track to be debuted from the album, is streaming here
