When the producer of some
of classic & modern rocks most prolific and successful acts takes
notice of your work then the right chords must be being played.
Uber-producer Scott Humphreys (Motley Crue, Rob Zombie, Green Day) took
notice of Nextdoors demo reel including the track Strangers when he
heard it thru www.thepublicrecord.com during a promotional campaign for
Crue drummer Tommy Lee. So along with former Exies
leader/writer/producer Scott Stevens, Humphries co-produced the track at
Lees home studio.
Upon hearing the newly produced track and seeing the bands live shows years prior, A&R executive Sean E. DeMott took great interest in the band and their career and signed them to management deal. Which eventually led to DeMott bringing the band to the attention of Monster Energy marketing manager Brent Hamilton who immediately signed the band to an endorsement deal which not only increased their exposure in the marketplace but also gave them a second home along with Monster Energys already stellar stable of artists.
Now with production interest, management, brand backing and a MySpace page with nearly 20,000 fans, Nextdoor are in the final stages of finishing up their self-titled EP that includes not only Strangers, but also the tracks Hold On, Art of Growing Up, Awkward Breakfast and Here I Am, mixing the melodic rock of standard bearers like Cheap Trick with the oft-kilter sounds of everyone from Taking Back Sunday to Kings of Leon, all tied together with Jon Ramirez's raw vocal intensity. To promote the bands new release, they'll spend November filming footage for their debut video, which will include cameos from Monster Energy cohorts Atreyu and MTVs Fantasy Factorys Chanel.
Look for upcoming national touring dates in the near future and to hear streaming of their EP.
