There’s No Keeping The Innocent Bystanders Under Wraps
Music: http://www.lemboentertainment.com/music/innocentbystanders.mp3 The Innocent Bystanders’ (Kevin Sampson: lead vocals, piano, guitar; Brandon Adler: guitar, keyboards, backing vocals; Scott Bernard: drums, percussion, backing vocals; Chris Nanula: bass, backing vocals) new single “Under Wraps” on Amherst Records is gaining momentum at radio. The Buffalo, New York band was destined to join forces, explains Sampson. “Me and our guitar player Brandon grew up 3 houses away from each other so we always listened to the same kind of music.” “We fell in love with Weezer, Oasis, Ben Folds Five and other bands and we met Scott and Chris at St. Joe's, which was our high school. Me and Scott actually started a ska band sophomore year,” Sampson recalls. “Eventually after a couple of band names, a couple different sounds and various members me, Chris, Brandon and Scott became The Innocent Bystanders when we were in college.” “Under Wraps,” the first single from The Innocent Bystanders’ self-titled CD, was picked up by Western New York’s Z101.1 and put into regular rotation. The song, which reviewer DXMontagnes calls “a brisk romp underlying a tale of a risqué encounter, reminiscent of contemporary songwriters such as Ben Folds and Barenaked Ladies,” has received over 9,500 plays on MySpace, nearly 12,000 views on YouTube, spins on Sirius Hits-1, airplay in Madison, WI (WZEE) and McAllen, TX (KZPL). “I wrote the line ‘you took the cue that I gave you, we met up in the back room’ in my car on my way home from work late one night,” recalls Sampson. “We later changed the last line to ‘bathroom’ and from there it kind of turned into a story about cheating on your significant other. I thought it was a situation that a bunch of people had been in so I thought people could relate, but I spiced it up a little and made it so the girl was cheating too.” Amherst Records will be supporting The Innocent Bystanders with strong consumer marketing, national radio, print and internet promotion, partnering with the Jerry Lembo Entertainment Group. Once music fans hear them, The Innocent Bystanders won’t be “Under Wraps” for long.
