PRESENTS:
THE THUNDEROUS SOUND OF JANUS AND THEiR LATEST RELEASE NOX AERiS  MARCH 18,
2012 - JANUS—singer David Scotney, guitarist Mike Tyranski, bassist
Alan Quitman and drummer Johnny Salazar—experienced great success with
their 2009 debut album, RED RIGHT RETURN, but the band’s new album, NOX
AERIS, reveals how far they’ve come. That musical revelation is the
self-produced NOX AERIS, which is due out March 27 on REALID Records
(through Warner Music Group’s Independent Label Group). The
first single, “Stains,” is already getting spins at WIIL (Chicago),
KPNT (St. Louis), WBUZ (Nashville), WJJO (Madison), WWBN (Flint), KHTQ
(Spokane), as well as SiriusXM’s “Octane” and “Hard Drive
XL.” Early feedback includes Zigz at WBUZ (Nashville), who
says, "If ‘Stains’ is a taste of things to come... then 2012 is going
to be a great year for Janus. They’ve hit on a new level with
‘Stains’... this track is righteous." “Stains” explores what can happen
when you don’t follow your heart, the marks left on your spirit when
you become someone you’re not. “It embodies what I was trying
to say on the record,” says singer David Scotney, “it’s a dark point of
view, but represents a cathartic process of self-healing.” In 2012
touring news, the band’s first round of tour dates will be with
Chevelle and Middle Class Rut starting February 24 in Grand Rapids,
MI. Additional dates will be announced in the coming
weeks.The record’s title, which is Latin for “night air,” comes from
the 14th Century, a period where a third of the European population was
killed off by the plague. Then, people believed going
outdoors at night would cause them to succumb to the Black
Death. While writing NOX AERIS, JANUS found this idea to be
an apt metaphor for their own journey, preconceived notions of their
own being flipped around as they became a bigger, more established band
since the release of RED RIGHT RETURN. NOX AERIS reveals who
JANUS is and what they’ve gone through.RELATED LiNKS: WWW.JANUSMUSiC.COM ABOUT THE HOST:  BRIAN
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
