Video For “Life Vest” Directed By Raul Gonzo (VersaEmerge, All Time Low). Singer Colleen D'Agostino Adds Vocals To Track On 'I the Mighty' Album 'Satori'.
By: 1888 Media About the new album, front woman, Colleen D'Agostino, says, "'Everything I Want To Say,' is a collection of thoughts and memories over the past two years. Although it shows a much more raw and personal side of The Material, my hope is that it will be relatable to anyone who has ever experienced the love, loss, inspiration and desperation described in my lyrics. This album is a journey through our growth as a band over the years, and in my mind, is a more real rock take on anything we have ever done. New sounds aside, the album still echoes back to what we have always been about as a band - sharing the sometimes harsh realities with our listeners, but always with a silver lining." http://youtu.be/ “Life Vest,” Enthusiastic response to Life Vest came flooding in as MTV immediately jumped on board with an exclusive MTV Buzzworthy premiere that helped the video quickly reach 80,000+ views in its first two weeks. When asked about filming the video, D'Agostino stated, "Our sponsors, Taylor, Sennheiser and Ernie Ball, sent us some gear we could get wet for this shoot which was really awesome. The whole shoot was pretty intense with a rain machine and jumping in the pool fully clothed, but it was so fun! The craziest thing we did that night was film my head upside down in a fish tank. Once we were done with the pool shots, Raúl showed me the fish tank and explained the idea. I basically had to do a back bend down to get my head into the fish tank. At first I thought he was crazy, but it turned out really cool. Only someone as creative as Gonzo could make something as simple as a fish tank look as cool as it did." In a world where the music that moves us is so often defined by its genre or label, The Material, comprised of Colleen D'Agostino (Vocals), Jon Moreaux (Guitar), Roi Elam (Guitar), Kevin Pintado (Drums) and Jordan Meckley (Bass), represent art that is thoughtful, powerful, organic and inspiring. Soulful and raspy female lead, D'Agostino, delivers powerhouse vocals over precise drumming, melodic guitar riffs and driving bass lines - creating an undeniable connection between their music and audience. It's no surprise that connectivity is at the core of the group's collective mantra, "To Life," which is inked in each members' skin. The band's growing fan base has risen with every mile added to their tour van's odometer. From owning a spot in PureVolume's Top 20 Unsigned Bands, to headlining the PictureHealing Winter Tour, to the Motel 6 "Rock Yourself To Sleep Tour" (Every Avenue, There For Tomorrow), to co-bills with Eyes Set To Kill, Sing It Loud, The Secret Handshake, New Years Day, Ivoryline, Bad Rabbits, I the Mighty and Blameshift, to spots on multiple Vans Warped Tours (2008, ‘10, ‘11, '13) and three featured performances at SXSW, The Material's passion-filled music and electrifying live performances have made a significant impact on tastemakers everywhere. Revered by MF Magazine as "smashing,"and highlighted by Alternative Press, MTV, Music Connection, Beatweek Magazine, Black Velvet Magazine, Substream Music Press and Grammy.com, the band is without question leaving an impact on true music enthusiasts. The Material are also making an impact on their peers in the industry as D'Agostino was hand-picked to contribute her powerful vocals to "Four Letter Words," a track on the recently released I the Mighty album Satori. Words quickly became a band and a fan favorite, so when I the Mighty played House of Blues Sunset as a part of the Equal Vision 2013 summer tour with Say Anything, Eisley and HRVRD, D'Agostino joined ItM on stage for a soaring performance of "Four Letter Words" before reprising her role afterwards during an exclusive live acoustic performance for Absolute Punk (http://youtu.be/ These moments were just two more storied signposts from the past five years that show the band at the precipice of breakthrough success. The Material were born to make a sound, both musically and sociometrically. Their organic and authentic approach to making music manifests in their commitment to their fans - always encouraging audiences everywhere with their heartfelt, positive messages to keep believing and keep on breathing. QUOTES "Colleen D'Agostino's towering rock vocals land between Hayley Williams and Evanescence's Amy Lee."
