We have been announcing that Los Angeles break out rock band Dead Sara have released their highly anticipated self-titled debut album this month on Pocket Kid Records/ Fontana/Universal. Having spent much of last year in the studio, Dead Sara have hit the road in support of their record. It started with a week of shows in Austin, TX at the SXSW Music Festival in March, followed by a spring tour supporting Chevelle, and radio festival dates including BuzzFest in Woodlands, TX, EdgeFest in Dallas, LAZERfest in Des Moines, and the Big Gig in Hartford, CT. They have toured opening for Bush last year, and will also be playing this year’s Vans Warped Tour.

The bands’ explosive first single “Weatherman” has sunk its teeth into Modern Rock and Active Rock radio and is already the #1 Most Requested Song at KYSR/Star 98.7FM in Los Angeles, while also scoring early adds from influential stations across the country. The 11-track full-length debut set was produced by Noah Shain (Atreyu, As Tall As Lions, Sonny Moore/aka Skrillex).

I was able to meet the band after their Edgefest 22 performance in Dallas, and we talked about what’s it like to play fests, their upcoming Van’s Warped Tour dates, SXSW, and their first upcoming television appearance. You can listen to the interview below, and that is The Ting Tings playing live in the background. Full live show review coming soon!
