ROCKWiRED RADiO PROFiLES
PRESENTS: THE MELODiC SOUND
OF ALL THE RiGHT MOVES AND THEiR BRAND NEW
E.P. 'THE MONSTER i'VE BECOME'
OCTOBER 17, 2011 - Sometimes
a new name and a little sonic revamping is all it takes for a talented
indie
band to get to the next level. Three years after BRANDON DALY and
BRADEN ASHWORTH met at Minnesota State University, Mankato and recorded
two CDs as The
Evermore Escape, they switched from acoustic to power pop/punk driven
electric music
and caught fire as ALL THE RIGHT MOVES. Living
up to that fitting moniker, in 2008 the Twin Cities based group
released a self
titled debut produced by JORDAN SCHMIDT (QUIETDRIVE, MOTION CITY
SOUNDTRACK,
ALL TIME LOW). With regional spots on three VANS WARPED TOUR (2008-10),opening slots for hit bands PLAIN WHITE T’s
(at Journey’s Backyard BBQ), ALL TIME LOW, MAYDAY PARADE and HAWTHORNE
HEIGHTS and
a growing Midwest-based following under their belt, the band fully
embraces the
cool side of THE MONSTER I'VE BECOME—the title of their latest EP.
Though
the blistering title track of the six track collection is actually
about the
crazy ways people are affected by intense relationships, ALL THE RIGHT
MOVES—whose lineup includes violinist ROMAN WOLFE and drummer DUSTIN
PHILLIPS—have been on a roll these past few years that finds them
living up to
the more positive metaphorical use of the term “Monster.” The same year
they
released their debut, the band won a highly competitive Battle of the
Bands
contest (sponsored by the local news channel Fox 9) and appeared in a
long-running PIZZA HUT commercial featuring their version of the famed
“488-8888” jingle. ALL THE RIGHT MOVEs also hit SMARTPUNK’sTop 10 Best Selling Albums chart and began
regional
touring. They later did a larger national tour that included dates on
the East
Coast and in the Southeast.

LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn't
looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming
which includes such shows as ROCKWIRED RADIO PROFILES and ROCKWIRED
FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."
