"LiveWire lead vocalist Andy Eutsler showcases a strong, pliable voice capable of running toe-to-toe with some of the best vocalists to come out of Nashville." - Matt Bjorke, Roughstock
NASHVILLE, TN (August 29, 2012) - Country Rockers LiveWire has released its latest single "Lies" via All Access Downloads. The song is going for immediate airplay and is available for download by radio programmers here. "Lies," also for sale on iTunes, is from LiveWire's forthcoming full-length debut album on Way Out West Records, slated for release later this fall.
Written by the band's lead singer Andy Eutsler, the track has been a fan favorite in live concerts since the group first started performing it last year. Eutsler recounts the inspiration for the song:"Through the mindless rhythm of laying brick on my house one day, a melody started to form. During that time it seemed as though all of my 'friends' on Facebook were breaking up and putting it out there for the world to see. I knew the truth of some of those stories, so as the melody rattled around in my brain, the words started coming naturally . . . 'make it all done between you and I, but don't make it lies.'"
"Lies" was produced by Justin Woods and features the studio musical talents of the six members of LiveWire along with guest musicians Todd Gummerman on keyboards (from alt-rock band MUTEMATH) and Mike Johnson on steel guitar. The track was mixed at LOUD Studios in Nashville by award-winning engineer Julian King (Chris Young, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw).
A six-piece band based in Joplin, Missouri, LiveWire features lead vocalist Eutsler, lead guitarist Bobby DeGonia, drummer Adam Hagerman, fiddle player Cory Shultz, rhythm guitarist Danny Bell and bassist Landon Rolfe. Since the release of the band's well-received debut single "Tater Fed," a self-titled EP and two music videos last year, LiveWire's music has drawn a strong following. Word of the group's powerful live performances has spread among fans and helped to grow an already impressive touring schedule to include more fairs, festivals and concert appearances.
LiveWire's music has found success at Country radio both in the U.S. and in Europe. The video "Miracle Of The Human Spirit," which benefitted the group's tornado-ravaged hometown, received airplay on CMT Pure, The Country Network and Yallwire, among other outlets. In addition, LiveWire's song "What Makes You A Man" was nominated Country Song of the Year by the 11th Annual Independent Music Awards in March; the band won the fan-voted award earlier this month.
The group's unique musical sound is edgy, honest and passionate--blending elements of working man's Country with rootsy Southern Rock. Chuck Dauphin with Music News Nashville says the band has "some sounds of Marshall Tucker, some of Rascal Flatts and some of Montgomery Gentry--and it all works."
