Music Press, One Sheets, and Press Kits

Below is a collection of significant press for musical projects I have been a part of, as well as an artist one sheet and press kit.

Significant Press Write-ups/Articles

“[A]uthentically affectionate sound that we’re hoping will become signature in subsequent [Conner Eko] releases. If Trent Reznor produced for Boy George, the sonic result wouldn’t be all too different from the danceably dark, ethereal textures in SINK.” - Amelia Vandergast

— A&R Factory

Wildy’s World “Peluso has a knack for writing gorgeous pop songs that are part Matthew Sweet and part Brit Pop. The Dan Peluso Band's debut CD, entitled EP, was released in September, 2008. It' s the sort of pop introduction that will open eyes and ears.”

GroopEase "Life at GroopEase is usually pretty cool. But once in a while 'pretty cool' is replaced with 'com- pletely rad.' This is one of those times, as GroopEase is thrilled to introduce you to Falling Andes, a four-piece indie pop band from Pittsburgh... Flavors of upbeat, polished acoustic indie rhythms, various keyboards, and one powerful, very unique voice make Falling Andes a band to keep an eye and an ear out for. I've never quite heard anything like this... and I assume you probably haven't either! -Kyle Patrick

Indie Rock Cafe - Best Songs of 2011! The third week of May saw the new single, “Two Against One,” from Danger Mouse, and featuring Jack White, take the No. 1 spot (see beginning of this post), followed by the up and coming Pitts- burgh outfit Falling Andes‘ newest single, and smash indie hit, “San Francisco.” The band’s debut single definitely puts them on our radar for 2012.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "You may have heard Falling Andes' catchy single "San Francisco" on The X. This local band serves up terrific original rock songs full of hooks, melodic synth-pop textures and distinctive vo- cals. Along with touring regionally, the band, led by singer Dan Peluso, cracked the regular rotation on 105.9 The X with a sound that's been compared to Foster the People and the Script." -Scott Mervis

Beaver County Times "Music bloggers are gushing about Falling Andes' catchy indie-pop, which has drawn comparisons to James Blunt, Cheap Trick and Foster the People. I hear a little bit of The Script in Peluso's ex- pansive voice, which sounds -- dare I say -- pretty in its higher register. Though there are moments on "Break Me" when he seems to be channeling Billy Corgan. "Break Me" pulls you in with its fre- netic hook, though it's Falling Andes' debut single, "San Francisco," that's garnering most of the attention off the band's five-song EP." -Scott Tady

The Indie Kollection "The jam has a quasi-90s alternative feel to it, and lead vocalist Dan Peluso’s tone will definitely make you wonder if you’re listening to Foster the People." -Vanessa Palmer

The Burning Ear "Perfect jam for a little beverage-n-sun action. Crisp ice cubes, dark shades, and a catchy groove like this to noodle it’s way through your brain." -Brandon Bogajewicz

College Magazine "Falling Andes, a hodgepodge of acclaimed musicians who decided that it was time to bring old- school substance back to the forefront of the indie music scene. 'San Francisco,' the single, does just that, mixing an addictive beat with a laid-back sound and nostalgic lyrics." -Mary Clare Fischer

Ear Buddy "Their debut EP consists of appetizing, dance-ready tracks that instantly hook you...Peluso con- trols excellent range over his voice, and it bears a striking resemblance to singer James Blunt...Frantic's five songs are all well-crafted insta-pop hits...seems destined as radio gold!" -Nick Krenn

The Music Court "Hot off the presses and one listen to their dulcet melodies and sticky rhythms will get you hooked on the Andes."

Fever the Blog "This is a band capable of producing some catchy power pop. Opener "I Don't Love You" has harmonies that recall Wheat, and "Break Me" contains a driving beat that will remind you of every great Cheap Trick song of the 1970s and early 80s...a very solid debut release. The future looks very bright for Falling Andes." -Joel Buchanan

Tympanogram "I’ve listened to the band’s track “San Francisco” a few times in a row at this point, and it’s bur- rowed its way into my skull with alarming ease." -Andy Klingenberger
