A Rocket To The Moon has announced the release of their new EP.  “THE RAINY DAY SESSIONS” is available for download exclusively via iTunes
The 5-track EP features new versions of songs originally found on last year’s acclaimed debut album, “ON YOUR SIDE,” recorded with female bluegrass group Larkin Poe and award-winning producer Dan Hannon (Manchester Orchestra).  Among the highlights of “THE RAINY DAY SESSIONS” is a Country and Bluegrass Tinged take on the band’s recent single, “Like We Used To,” as well as a creative cover of Beyoncé’s classic “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” (see attached tracklisting).
“The reason behind ‘THE RAINY DAY SESSIONS’ is pretty simple,” says ARTTM singer/guitarist Nick Santino.  “We all love making music.  In any way shape or form.  So when the opportunity was given to us to sit in a room with a tin roof and live record a few songs with two of the most talented bluegrass girls I’ve ever heard on a rainy Georgia day, we couldn’t pass it up.  We all love country music and every form of country music.  I think this EP really shows our love for the music and music in general.”
“Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” exclusively premiered online on October 1st via AOL Music.  What’s more, “Like We Used To” will be released as an iTunes deluxe single on October 21st, with extras including a piano version, music video and deluxe digital booklet with new photos, handwritten lyrics from band and more.  The track has already proven an online favorite, with sales exceeding 200,000 and more than 1 million video streams at Fueled By Ramen’s official YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/user/FueledByRamen.  In addition, “Like We Used To” is also slated to be featured on two of MTV’s biggest hit shows, Teen Mom (on October 5th) and Jersey Shore (on October 21st).
A Rocket To The Moon will celebrate the release of “THE RAINY DAY SESSIONS” by supporting All Time Low on their upcoming “My Small Package Tour.”  The dates – most of which are already fully sold out – will kick off on October 18th at Philadelphia ’s North Star Bar and then continue through mid-December (see attached itinerary).  The tour follows hot on the heels of ARTTM’s recent tour alongside Hanson, a hugely successful trek that concluded last Friday night at Boulder , Colorado ’s Fox Theatre.
