Artists

TRANSMIT NOW is a Powerpop-rock quintet from Orlando, Florida!

The band has recorded their first full-length record titled “Downtown Merry-Go-Round” which is due out in early 2010. This summer they released an EP “Test Test” and the five songs will also appear on “Downtown Merry-Go-Round”.   “Test Test” was released since they were on a summer/fall tour with Framing Hanley that went across the nation. 

Their song TARANTISM has been played on the VMA’s, MTV’s Making The Band 4, Paris Hilton Is My New BFF and ESPN Sports Center.    The band was also the winner of MTV’s “I Want My Music On MTV2 Contest”. TARANTISM is being renamed to LET’S GO OUT TONIGHT and more than likely will be the first single off the upcoming full length CD.

Andy (vocals), Kevin (guitar), Greg (drums), Tony (guitar) and Lee (bass) have a lot in store come 2010 with their debut full length.   They recently filmed a video for fans to GET TO KNOW THE BAND. (see below)

Transmit Now Interview:

Interview with ANDY BROOKS (lead singer for TRANSMIT NOW)

How does it feel to be signed to a label?
A lot like not be signed to a label! It’s a good feeling to know we have a label that supports and believes in us but over all the “feeling” is the same as being an independent artist.

What is different now that you are signed from when you were independent?
Any money we make no longer comes to us, Ha Ha! In truth the only things that have changed are consulting with the label before you make major decisions. The only people we had to answer to before was US, but now we have another party in the mix! It’s a team now rather than an “US against the world” mentality.

What was it like touring with Framing Hanley?
Amazing! Those guys really took us under their wing. I remember thinking “what if these guys are total jerks, and they hate our band and the fact that we’re the new kids on the label?” The reality is about as far from that as possible. It was such a great time, playing to their audience every night was such a killer opportunity for us!

Every band has a crazy story or two…what’s your favorite?
Well when you tour with Framing Hanley the stories are aplenty! We’ll just sum it up using a few words/ objects: Booze, Bottle of Shaving Cream, Unconsciousness, Video Camera, Love, Hole, Women’s Underwear! Yep, that will do it, you can use your imagination from there…but trust me it’s not as creepy as you think!

What was the moment that made you feel like you have made it?
We’ve far from “Made It”, so let’s do this interview again in a year and we’ll see if I can answer that or if I’m working flipping burgers!

What would be your dream band to tour with?
WOW…so many come to mind…I’d say the *NSYNC reunion tour (when it happens, and it will!) More realistic you say?? How about a band we all love, Anberlin!

When does your new album come out?
EARLY 2010! It’s called Downtown Merry-Go-Round, so let’s start the trend here and start abbreviating it DTMGR

Please tell us what to expect from your new album?
Songs you love to sing at the top of your lungs on your drive home from work or from school or from the message parlor or from the candy store or from the fish market or from the elevator repair shop…any place really!

What is the most important part of being in a band to you? What is the best perks?
Getting to write music and play it for people every night…getting up on stage every night to a room full of people who have no idea who you are and after two songs seeing the smile on their faces! As for the perks…when venues feed you, that’s the Shniz!

What was surprising about being on the road? Was it what you expected?
Surprising how many strangers are willing to let you into their houses to sleep on their floor! We had a dude let us sleep at his place, brings us inside, leaves us there with his pregnant wife while he went out to party with his buds! We aren’t creeps, but that’s a little to trusting if you ask me! I think the road was what we were all expecting but at the same time not, if that makes sense. Nothing can truly prepare you for touring full time, you just have to jump in!
