PRESENTS:
THE DRiViNG SOUND OF ENGLORiA AND THEiR LATEST EP DRiVE 
DECEMBER 12, 2011 - Considering
the terrestrial airplay and internet radio success ENGLORIA snagged
with their 2010 debut EP SUNDOWN, nobody could have blamed the
Albany, NY based powerhouse alt rockers for coasting a little on
their highly anticipated follow-up. But frontman and main songwriter
JAMES STEWART says the exhilaration of their live performances over
the past year inspired him and his cohorts—his brother BRANDON STEWART
(drums), MICHAEL GLEASON (bass) and DEVON SCOTT (guitar,
vocals)—to amp up and let their latest tunes evolve onstage.
Translating that energy into the studio, the three tracks on their
latest EP, the perfectly titled DRIVE,
capture a band on a mission, complete with greater songwriting depth,
dynamic production and recurring themes of travel and mobility.
ENGLORIA’s
music is traveling well so far, with their previous singles “LIGHTS”
and “SUNDOWN” in rotation on 102.7 WEQX THE REAL ALTERNATIVE in
Manchester, Vermont and Canada’s FNA Radio and streaming
internationally on JANGO RADIO. While they play their share of
regional gigs (including opening for Young The Giant at Jillian’s
in Albany), they’re constantly on the move, playing everywhere from
Saratoga to NYC, where they recently gigged at the upscale art
gallery CIN-M-ART and are scheduled to perform at GAVIN DEGRAW’s
club NATION UNDERGROUND in January 2012. ENGLORIA has also opened
for renowned up and coming bands like KITTEN and KOJI.

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."CONTACT
