JMD Records/INGrooves/Universal Music Group Signs New Jersey Rock Band Burning Red Sun

    COSTA MESA, CA, February 17, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- JMD Records, a division of INGrooves/Universal Music Group, has just announced that they have signed Burning Red Sun, a New Jersey indie alt rock band, to a recording contract based on the success of their debut album, Living on the Edge of Time. "We're really excited because JMD is part of the largest record label group in the world. Their reissue of our album in EP form will mean mass distribution," says Ken "the Laser" Lazorchak, leader of Burning Red Sun and a veteran of the Jersey rock scene.

"Someone from JMD heard us on an indie music radio show, and thought our sound was solid," explains Lazorchak. "Getting signed by a label like JMD that recognizes unique talent but has the reach of INGrooves/Universal is a dream come true."

Burning Red Sun's sound draws on a variety of influences, including Ken's friend the blues legend Roy Buchanan, the British Invasion, early metal, new wave, desert rock, and alt rock. Lazorchak, who wrote all the songs on the debut album, states, "I like to experiment by mixing various rock styles and techniques to form my own unique, edgy sound. This keeps it interesting for me while still creating a distinctive playing style."

The EP version of Living on the Edge of Time, which will be distributed by JMD electronically and be available on numerous music outlets, including iTunes and eMusic, is just the latest in a string of successes for Burning Red Sun. The band has built a significant following at local shows and gained wide acclaim for their selection as one of the top six finalists out of more than six thousand entries worldwide in the Hendrix Revolution contest. The winner has not yet been announced, but Burning Red Sun is a major contender in this competition, which will award one independent band or artist a chance to appear on a Jimi Hendrix tribute album along with such world-famous guitarists as Jeff Beck and Carlos Santana.

Burning Ren Sun plans to celebrate the signing with JMD by performing some shows in the New Jersey area, and Lazorchak is already at work on songs for a second album. "This experience has been amazing from the start," he explains. "Recording Living on the Edge of Time was a dream come true. To have JMD recognize us and get behind it is even better. It's only inspired me to want to do more."
