| Striking Matches' Justin Davis and Sarah Zimmermann |
Striking Matches has officially taken the UK by storm, landing at No. 1 on the iTunes UK Country Albums Chart with their debut release, Nothing But The Silence. Produced by the legendary T Bone Burnett, the album showcases this dynamic duo (comprised of Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis), brimming with harmonies and plenty of guitars.
“Their debut album is an engaging blend of slick country storytelling scuffed up with rockier riffs. Imagine a noisier version of The Civil Wars: squaring up and trading electric licks before coiling their voices together in sweet harmony,” beamed The Telegraph UK.
While the guitar-driven duo has been steadily building their fan base here in the U.S., it was to their great surprise to be greeted by concert goers singing the words to their songs at their very first overseas show in London – before ever releasing a song in the country. Due to having eight songs they’ve written featured on ABC’s hit drama series Nashville, which has built a dedicated British following, the unprecedented early embrace by music fans in the UK has led to sold-out performances and demand for more (the band will return for a series of concerts in large venues as well as TV appearances in May), airplay on the country’s largest radio station Radio 2 and rave reviews, as well as a No. 1 album on the chart. Nothing But The Silence is available now: iTunes and Amazon.
Meanwhile, back at home, supporters include USA Today, who wrote: “Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis give off sparks as singers and writers, but they’re even hotter guitarists. Incendiary.” In additon, Nothing But The Silence was included on their “Don’t Miss These Great March Albums” list stating, “Like Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt or Keith Urban, they're both fiercely talented guitarists who revere the songs that come out of their mouths every bit as much as the music that comes through their fingers.”
American Songwriter declared “these songs crackle and sizzle, walking on a tightrope between pop, rock, country and blues,” additionally noting, “Between the acoustic/electric twin guitar attack, easy flowing harmonies, peppy mid-western rootsy singer/songwriting and an unbridled enthusiasm, Striking Matches fires up a hot, often incendiary first impression.”
Striking Matches will continue their overseas charge with headline dates before they return to the U.S. for a co-headline stint with harmony-loving The Secret Sisters. The run will be part of the Fender Accelerator Tour as Striking Matches is one of a select range of rising artists in various genres chosen to represent the iconic guitar brand, who in turn will provide vehicles, gear and support. Following, the duo will join the festival circuit and share stages with country music superstars such as Luke Bryan and Brad Paisley, as well as an opening slot for Keith Urban.

Neon Trees today announced their next tour "An Intimate Night Out With Neon Trees" will kick off June 6 in Seattle, WA at the Showbox and cross the country before winding down on July 25 in Boston, MA at Paradise Rock Club. A full list of tour dates can be found below.
"At the end of last year we had made plans to take this year off, but honestly we got bored at home. We just love touring that much," said front man Tyler Glenn. "We're going to play songs from all three albums and it will be an entirely new show. We chose smaller clubs and theaters to make it a communal, fan driven experience for us and the audience."
Neon Trees - comprising Tyler Glenn (lead vocals, keys), Chris Allen (guitars), Branden Campbell (bass), and Elaine Bradley (drums, vocals) - released their third album Pop Psychology on April 22, 2014. The album, recorded in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Los Angeles, CA, and their hometown of Provo, UT with longtime collaborator Tim Pagnotta spawned the RIAA Gold-certified single "Sleeping With A Friend," which won an award for BMI Publishing Award in 2014 and charted in the Top 15 of the Billboard Hot 100. It is available HERE.
Pop Psychology is the follow up to Picture Show, which featured the RIAA double platinum single "Everybody Talks," which charted in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Neon Trees' debut album, Habits, was released in 2010 and featured the double platinum smash single "Animal." The band has toured with Taylor Swift, The Killers, Maroon 5, Duran Duran, Flaming Lips, My Chemical Romance, and more.
