“Madoline”
is the first single from the upcoming “Every Day Is Picture Day” EP by Picture
Day
+++
“Madoline” by
Picture Day is the “MP3 at 3PM” at MAGNET,
a featured download at Spinner,
and “Song of The Day” at KDHX,
St. Louis
“I can’t front like Robert Pollard hasn’t been a huge inspiration to me,” says Brian Wiegert of St. Louis-based band Picture Day about the Guided By Voices frontman. “‘Madoline’ is us consciously trying to
do something upbeat. The chorus is inspired by Del Shannon and Frankie
Valli, except with Brian May-style
layered guitars.”
Check it out for yourself as MAGNET, Spinner and
hometown independent music radio station KDHX–St.
Louis have all featured the hook-filled track recently. “Madoline” will appear on
the upcoming Picture Day EP “Every Day Is Picture Day,” out April
16th. The catchy,
to-the-point tunes on “Every Day Is
Picture Day,” show off the combination of chops and sense of humor that
defines this band.
Influenced by confirmed rock legends such as The Who, Bowie and the previously mentioned Guided By Voices, Picture
Day also embraces the unexpected by participating in Ween tribute nights, fostering a hip-hop side project with three
album releases to date under the name MLD,
and performing with self-described ragtime entertainer, Pokey LaFarge (a St. Louis sensation who appears on Jack White’s Blunderbuss.)
“It occurred to me some years ago, that music is the
one thing that no one is forcing me to do,” says Wiegert. “I punch a clock, and when I’m done, I drag my ass to band
practice because I want to hear some loud guitars.” Picture
Day’s latest EP “Every Day Is
Picture Day” arrives on April 16th, 2013. The single “Madoline” is streaming now. Members of
Picture Day are available for
interviews. Contact Josh
Bloom at Fanatic for
more information.
