Ted Stevens and the Third Rail Announce Release of Extended Play
Louisville, KY (PRWEB) May 13, 2014 -- Louisville-based rock three piece, Ted Stevens and the Third Rail, have announced a May 20 release for their EP “Extended Play.” The EP is the first recorded output from the band, following several years spent by Stevens as a solo performer.
The EP features single “Hometown, Hometown,” along with B-side “Live Forever.” Both were mixed by Austin-based engineer Mike McCarthy who’s former credits include Spoon, Patty Griffin, Heartless Bastards among countless others. The tracks have already been in rotation on local radio in Louisville, and been earning an incredible response by Stevens while performing through out the Midwest, both as acoustic and with his band.
The tracks on “Extended Play,” are the first off a forthcoming album on which the band have been hard at work, tentatively set for a release in late 2014.
The EP is rounded out by live recordings of “Be That Way” and “October Blues” from the band’s performance at Be Here Now, in Muncie, IN and broadcast on Indiana public radio.
Stevens pens relatable, high-energy music in the best rock and roll tradition. On the single “Hometown, Hometown”, Stevens addresses the love hate relationship faced by so many with the place they are from. discussing several years he spent in Scotland, and his eventual return to Louisville.
Discussing several years he spent in Scotland, Stevens sings “So I went hiding in a foreign land, Far from faces I could understand.” The track is both engaging and instantly relatable, very much hallmarks of the work found through out the record.
