“The chorus is inspired by Del Shannon and Frankie
Valli, with Brian May-style guitars,” says band’s Wiegert.

“Madoline”
is the first single from the upcoming “Every Day Is Picture Day” EP by Picture
Day
+++
“Madoline”
by Picture Day is the 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. Check it out
for yourself via MAGNET’s premiere
of “Madoline,” the first single from
the upcoming Picture Day EP “Every Day Is Picture Day.” Wiegert
continues, “‘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.”
The catchy, to-the-point tunes on “Every Day Is Picture Day,” arriving April 16th, 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. I don’t think I’ll ever stop
wanting that.” 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.
