Couteaux Bio:
Couteaux formed the summer of 2011 after the demise of the post-rock group Atheorem, and as a side-project to the bay area metal band Simoom. Vocalist Tino Molinari and drummer Linden Reed have put plenty of time and energy into their music over the last 3 years and have had plenty of great experiences with Simoom, including being hand picked (from a list of 20 Bay Area bands) by vocalist Phil Labonte to open for All That Remains and Lacuna Coil at the Grand Ballroom in San Francisco in October of 2009 as well as being the opening act at the San Francisco stop for Cruefest 2, sharing the stage with Motley Crue, Godsmack and others. Similarly, the band has also opened for National acts such as Nonpoint, Cold, Drowning Pool, Rev Theory, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, Taking Dawn, Kylesa, Will Haven and American Headcharge.

 

Bringing all of that experience with them to Couteaux, Tino and Linden and have teamed up with Tino’s brother Nico (Molinari) and Bassist Zack Sumner to breathe new life into their project and have managed to create some truly infectious music on their forthcoming EP, “Sail West to Reach the East.” Fans of poppy melodic post hardcore and catchy anthemic choruses will find a new favorite band in Couteaux. As the band themselves put it, “With our influences combined, we can play melodic music with a punch…and also summon captain planet.”

TO SPEAK OF WOLVES To Release Sophomore Album

TO SPEAK OF WOLVES To Release Sophomore Album, Find Your Worth, Come Home, May 22 on Solid State Records

Follow-up to 2010′s celebrated Myself < Letting Go

First album with new vocalist Gage Speas

March 5, 2012 -  Solid State Records is pleased to announce the release of TO SPEAK OF WOLVES’ second full-length album, Find Your Worth, Come Home, available online and in stores everywhere May 22.

The band’s first album with dynamic new frontman Gage Speas, Find Your Worth, Come Home sees the revitalized lineup reaching into darker, heavier and faster territory. It’s an album of rediscovery, and an album that freshly stamps what TO SPEAK OF WOLVES is about, from the title on down.

“The title is about we’ve been doing – finding ourselves as a band, proving what are and doing what we do best,” explains drummer and founding member Phil Chamberlain. “This record is something that we’re incredibly proud of. We’ve gotten a lot of compliments about how intense we are live and I don’t think that came across on the first album. This time around we went into the recording process wanting to make sure to capture that intensity, and I think we did that.”

“We couldn’t be more stoked and proud of what we’ve created with this album,” Chamberlain exclaims. “We are excited and can’t wait to share it with everyone!”

Find Your Worth, Come Home is the follow-up to TO SPEAK OF WOLVES’ heralded 2010 debut, Myself < Letting Go, which catapulted the band onto the national stage with its road-rash riffage and soaring, arena-worthy choruses. Relentless touring alongside likeminded bands such as UNDER0ATH, AUGUST BURNS RED and BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME underscored the fact that the Greensboro, NC quintet were a force to be reckoned with. The band quickly became a beacon within the hard rock and metalcore scene, despite – or perhaps because of – their unwillingness to become yet another facsimile spewing forth endless breakdowns and Auto-Tuned choruses. TO SPEAK OF WOLVES refused to do either, and fans loved them all the more for it.

Decibel praised the band’s “bloody knuckled screamo-core, diamond-cut choruses and post-rock discordance,” while taste-maker Absolute Punk cut straight to the point, writing: “Myself < Letting Go is a wondrous beginning for TO SPEAK OF WOLVES, leaving their future radiant with promise.”

Now, driven by the dominating vocal presence of Speas, TO SPEAK OF WOLVES are ready to blow the doors wide open. “We’re now completely on the same page as a band and couldn’t be happier,” Chamberlain assures. “We’ve never had more fun.”

Select Praise for 2010′s Myself < Letting Go:
“Bloody knuckled screamo-core, diamond-cut choruses and post-rock discordance… There’s a weird, compelling alchemy at work here. [8/10]” -DECIBEL

“A breed of its own… There is more to this band than meets the eye.” -OUTBURN

“Myself < Letting Go is a wondrous beginning for TO SPEAK OF WOLVES, leaving their future radiant with promise” -ABSOLUTE PUNK

“Myself < Letting Go is a fantastic record… Everything about this record, from the guitars to the vocals, drums and bass, screams talent.” -THE NEW REVIEW

“If you’re looking for a streamlined take on the metalcore genre with all of the essentials, then you’ve come to the right place… a very strong start to this band’s career.” -DECOY MUSIC

Upcoming Tour Dates
Apr 22 – Worcester MA @ Palladium (New England Metal and Hardcore Festival)
June 15 – Stone Mountain GA @ ATLANTA FEST
June 22 – Wilmore KY @ ICHTHUS FESTIVAL
June 23 – Mineral City OH @ ALIVE FESTIVAL
