THE REAL HOOKS Release New EP 'Everybody Up!'; Announce Fall Tour w/ Aaron Carter
The Real Hooks, driven by the clever, uplifting, high energy songs of guitarist/vocalist Kyle Hooks and also features siblings Raleigh (drums and vocals), Nick (vocals) and Maggie (keyboards and vocals). Quickly emerging on the national scene, The Real Hooks, enjoyed out of the box radio airplay success with their 2012 single "Coming After Your Love," which reached #19 on FMQB's Hot AC chart, #37 on the Mediabase Chart and was #1 on the Mediabase Indicator Highlight Chart five weeks in a row. Currently, the band is gearing up for a late Summer and Fall tour opening for Aaron Carter. (Dates to be announced soon.)
Their highly anticipated debut EP, "Everybody Up" is a six track set that includes a mix of pop-rockers, fiery, jangling declarations, soulful harmonies and a hilarious, tongue in cheek ode to "Taylor Swift" and her revolving door of romances. The Real Hooks have been lighting up audiences of multiple generations with dynamic live performances and infectious songs that are all about making people smile.
"Our song, 'Taylor Swift' (click here to view the video) is a fun jab at her social life, and it's something a lot of people were probably hoping someone would sing about that needed to be said," says front man, Kyle. "Other songs are inspired by relationships and 'Everybody Up' is one song that everyone can enjoy because it's about the nerdy kid in school who becomes a hit after he hosts a great party. As a whole, the EP shows that as writers and performers, we're excited to be in the game making pop music that's geared to making people smile."
The EP will be available on iTunes July 17.
