deasvail.com is back in our hands...
A few weeks ago we discovered that someone else took over our deasvail.com domain, and we just now got it back! Sorry for the confusion… we’ll definitely try and not let it happen again. :)

Hello Everyone,
First of all, thank you so much for all of your support! We have been receiving quite a lot of messages and such asking when the new album will be released. Sorry to leave you hanging for so long. There are some very exciting things that are happening for the band right now. Unfortunately, these events are pushing the release date back a bit. We are not sure exactly when it will come out, but we feel that it is certainly our best work yet and we can't wait for you to hear it!
Much love,
Deas Vail
BIOGRPAHY
It would be easy to describe Deas Vail simply by pointing at vocalist Wes Blaylock's upper register range and falsetto and then to slap on the indie label. Granted, it's an unmistakable voice that sounds as if it bides its time floating amid the stars, and so, is a major part of the band's sound. But there's so much more beyond that soaring voice. To start, the band's debut "All the Houses Look the Same," features the unfailingly sharp and frenetic guitar work of Andy Moore (think Chris Walla or Jonny Greenwood), whose riffs are as memorable as any of the ridiculously high notes that Blaylock hits. Moore's work on the record sets a tone in line with America's finest indie rock (Death Cab for Cutie, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah) and Europe's best-kept secrets (Mew, Kashmir). But in no way does the album, produced by Mark Lee Townsend (Relient K), rely on any particular mix of instrumentation. By the time the manic guitar of "Rewind" fades away, it is replaced by the piano-led "Shoreline," courtesy of keyboardist Laura Blaylock, Wes' wife. The song also features a haunting string arrangement by the Blaylocks and the driving and clever rhythm section of drummer Kelsey Harelson and bassist Justin Froning backs all of it. Formed while its members were students at Arkansas Tech in the Midwestern hamlet of Russellville, the band has gone through several different members before settling in with its current lineup for the past two-and-a-half years. While at school, Blaylock began writing songs he initially envisioned as solo works, but when coupled with an affinity for the indie-rock scene, Deas Vail was born. Blaylock discovered and embraced the indie rock scene his senior year of high school, eschewing the bluegrass and folk enriched home he grew up in (his sister Hannah fronts bluegrass/country outfit Eden's Edge). "When we started, it was something we wanted to do because we enjoy music," Blaylock said. "We write songs because we love songs. They make us happy or explain an experience. That's why I grab hold of these songs and love them. It's something we really care about." Upon the record's release last spring, the band took on a healthy touring schedule that saw them crisscrossing the country for much of the year. Supporting acts like Lost Ocean, John Reuben and Edison Glass helped build the band's fanbase, a trend they would like to continue this year as the band feels their live show is essential to the experience and that more new fans can be made with this album. "To us, playing live is just as important as making records, maybe more," Blaylock said. "Even if we get tired of playing these songs, there's meaning in the lyrics and we still feel like it’s good music."

KANE: 24/7 Hustle Vol.2 Hosted by G-Unit/Shadyville DJ EPPS: DOWNLOAD http://www.zshare.net/download/6204926937bec719/
For all the guys out there: have you ever met a female who had it all – beauty, intelligence, style, class – but ended up too intimidated by her apparent perfection to make a move on That Girl? If so, you'll have no trouble relating to industry newcomer Kane's brand new single. That's not to say that the ladies should feel left out – female listeners will doubtless get butterflies in their stomachs on hearing Kane and featured artist Ray J pour out their hearts about the special girl who has them utterly enchanted. The Miami native's breathless verses find him rapping over himself (with a little studio help), listing off all his love interest's wonderful qualities, and the emotional effect is heightened by Beat Storm's mellow production, which positively drips with synthesized soul; this romantic cut will have all the men pining for, and all the ladies wanting to be That Girl.
