“Eve To Adam channels the reckless swagger of Guns N' Roses with a vocal bravado a la Pearl Jam…” - Artist Direct
NYC’s EVE TO ADAM step it up with new a single “Straitjacket Supermodel” which is hitting radio now and will be available on iTunes March 26th. The single will be followed by their much anticipated full-length album "Locked & Loaded" on May 26th and a spring/summer 2013 national tour.
The guitar-driven, anthemic rock band, which has never been dictated by fashion, style or fad of the day, has one simple goal: To re-ignite Rock. The band toured extensively last year, hitting the major festivals including Rocklahoma and Rock On The Range, in addition to the Jagermeister Presents Tour with Halestorm and In This Moment, both legs of Creed’s national tour, Hinder, Tantric and Saving Abel among others.
Eve To Adam also has the dual distinction of being highly skilled road warriors, as they hold their own with arena and stadium sized major label acts including Motley Crue, and Daughtry.
For the band’s new project, ETA collaborated with top notch producers and writers, including Eric Bass (Shinedown), who along with producer Elvis Baskette (Incubus, Falling In Reverse, Alter Bridge) cut lead single “Straitjacket Supermodel.” Writer/producer Dave Bassett (Shinedown, Adelitas Way) also logged several collaborations including “Immortal,” “Shut Out The World,” and “Let’s Burn.” The new sound is burning, urgent, with no-holds barred. The band has taken it to an entirely new level and radio and the fans are already responding.
A music video for “Straitjacket Supermodel” will film soon with a noted director onboard and a hot, leading lady in the “model” role. The video concept, according to Eve To Adam frontman Taki Sassaris, is similar in look to NIN’s “Closer” meets Showtime’s Dexter (lighting in the kill room/meets the edge of the heroine in the film Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. “She’s sexy, dark, kick-ass and a little twisted and dominates in a way that is seductive, modern and fun… She is unmatched in her ability to get what she wants, and she revels in it,” he explains.
Eve To Adam is Taki Sassaris (lead vocals/guitar), Alex Sassaris (drums/backing vocals), Gaurav Bali (Guitar/backing vocals). Luis Espaillat has stepped in as the touring bassist, replacing Eric Bergmann. Adam Latiff (Puddle of Mudd) is the newest member, replacing Virus (Dope, Device) as touring rhythm guitarist
In between tour dates, the group has been hosting some interesting live music performances at their loft in Queens, NY. Most recently the band’s guests were The Mark Tremonti Project, featuring Creed’s Mark Tremonti and Wolfgang Van Halen (son of guitar legend, Eddie Van Halen). Click here to view.
The group is a Billboard “Next Big Sound” artist chart at #1; NBS is a weekly chart that tracks the 25 fastest growing artists online.
The music video for “Run Your Mouth,” the debut single off previous album Banquet For A Starving Dog, premiered on mtv.com and was shot/directed by the critically acclaimed Diamond Brothers, featuring guest appearances by Vincent “Big Pussy” Pastore (from HBO’s The Sopranos); Chuck Zito (from HBO’s OZ) and award-winning Indian television star Kavita Kaushik (F.I.R.).
