Egypt
Central/White Rabbit/Fat Lady Music/ILG/WMG
The White
Rabbit is an invitation to step out of ordinary time. You
have been chosen and it is not necessary to know or ponder why.
They call us out from our ordinary life to go on an extraordinary
journey which will lead us to an experience which will transform
us in some very significant way. It is an invitation to enter the
realm of the real, hidden, intuitive, unconscious world that exists
underneath what appears to be reality. The unlikely pilgrim will
be taken to places that he or she never dreamed possible and the
passage will cost more than what most are willing to freely give.
If you happen upon a White Rabbit, remain awake
and alert to the direction you must go and be ready to let go of
everything you believed was important. Or...you can continue what
you were doing and ignore the invitation. The choice is entirely
up to you.
The return
of Egypt Central has made for quite a journey in this young bands
career. Having success with their self titled debut cd, the four
men from Memphis, TN are poised to continue their impact and invite
the listener to come along.
Entering
the studio with producer Skidd Mills (Saving Abel, 12 Stones, etc.)
in early October 2010, they had a clear vision of what they needed
to take the next step of this journey and set out to accomplish
just that. “We knew we had solid songs, but when the opportunity
came to work with Skidd we found the person that could not only
make a great sounding record but also bring the best out of us.”
states lead singer John Falls. Falls goes on to say “We had
a lot of growing to do as men and the time was right to give our
fans what they deserved and what we knew we were capable of…Kick
Ass Rock!”
What came
out of that recording session is White Rabbit.
The body of work is a twelve song compellation of heavy riffs, lyrics
from the soul and strong melodic hooks. Threaded throughout this
collection of songs is a story of consequences that occur when one
accepts or declines the invitation from the White Rabbit.
“Collectively
this is the best group of songs we have ever written” states
bassist Joey Chicago. “Testing the patience of our fans during
the writing process was tough. But as a group we were not going
to rush our sophomore record out for the sake of time. We heard
their questions as to why it took so long but once they hear this
album it think they will understand. We wanted to get it right and
put everything we had into White Rabbit.”
Chicago
continues, “White Rabbit signifies the struggles
we have gone through individually and as a group, we all have our
demons in our lives and Egypt Central exists to
be the voice or ear for fans to lean on. We want to encourage them
never give up and never quit on your dreams! It’s a credo
we live by because we have only begun our journey to bring Egypt
Central to the masses!”
The first
single and title track White Rabbit was released
Feb 2011 to Active rock radio and iTunes and the full length CD
will be released in May 2011.
They will
hit the road in early 2011 and if there is one thing you can be
assured of is, once you see an Egypt Central show
you can’t wait for them to return. In the words of drummer
Blake Allison “Our secret weapon has always been our live
show. I can’t tell how excited we are to play this new batch
of songs for our fans that have stuck by us and this is our invitation
for anyone new to Egypt Central to come along on
this journey… we hope you accept!”
