   About 1000 Miles From Home
1000 Miles From Home is a band of paradoxes. Formed in 2006 as an outlet for Zac Carrington's songwriting, the band has spent the past two years writing, recording, and regionally touring. Sort of a "geek rock" band, but without the goofy lyrics, their songs are deeply emotional while the music is often upbeat. "We try not to take ourselves too seriously, while at the same time being sort of being serious." The group puts on an energetic live show that is embraced by young audiences and strangely their parents too. The members of 1000 Miles From Home have shared the stage with national acts such as Gym Class Heroes, Bowling for Soup, Midtown, Armor for Sleep, and Less Than Jake.

While heavily influenced by the mid 90's emo and alternative scenes including bands such as Jimmy Eat World, Mineral, Sunny Day Real Estate, Hum, Smashing Pumpkins, Jeff Buckley, and Texas is the Reason, the band's sound is unique. Modern comparisons of their music include Incubus, the Foo Fighters, Saosin, and Jimmy Eat World.

The 2007 EP release Collusion was well received in the college radio market, garnering CMJ Charting positions all over the country. Their single "Explain the Explanation" was picked up by 102.1 The Edge in Dallas and also serves as the theme music for the nationally syndicated independent music radio show, The Colorado Wave. "When You Go" is featured in the Fall 2008 Compilation by LBM Music Zine distributed to Hot Topic stores nationwide.

A self-released new record is in the works for 2009, to be released as a series of singles directly as digital downloads to iTunes, Amazon and other online music retailers. The first single, "June Ends Now", is set for a February 24th release date.

We are always accepting new music for review and are always looking to add on to the team. We work with all artist wether signed to a label or not so any artist, signed or not, can become part of the Dallas Coalition Music Group and start getting paid for performing.

If you know anybody, even if it's you or your homebois or homegirls, who are tryin to make a career out of Rappin, then send them our way. We are making a way for local, unrecognized tallent to start making money off their own tallents.

No more paying to hop on stage at some showcase or tallent show, we set up shows where you GET PAID to perform. We also do radio advertising for the shows wich means that when we set up a performance for you you also get promoted on the radio! How big does that make you look!

Stop playing the politic game in the Dallas music sector and start working with the company thats driven on the dream of making Dallas Texas the biggest hub for major label Rap/Urban Artist.

We work specifically with Rap, R&B and Hip Hop.

Please read our bio to see what started it all and read our blog to get the details on becomeing a DCMG Supported Artist, whether for yourself or for anyone you know who is trying to make it in the Rap Game.
