About
Easteighteen is a five-piece, high-energy rock band whose musical integrity is not compromised by their Top 40 sensibility. Forged in 2001 by five students from the University of Iowa, Easteighteen began a nationwide effort to deliver music to the masses with a musician's appeal.
In early 2003, Easteighteen released a five-song EP, Anathema, and embarked on a six-week West Coast tour playing venues in major cities including Los Angeles, Seattle, and Las Vegas and selling thousands of albums along the way. In 2005, Easteighteen recorded a new, full-length album, "in the event that youre right," produced by Tom Tatman (producer for Stone Sour/Corey Taylor of Slipknot fame). The album helped secure a Budweiser True Music sponsorship as well as a distribution deal with retail chain Hot Topic. Two songs from the album became the most requested on XM radio's Unsigned Network while others are being spun on numerous college stations spanning from the Midwest to California.
Sharing the stage with national acts such as Hinder, Hurt, Drowning Pool, Black Stone Cherry, and others, Easteighteen continues to captivate fans across the United States. Hailed as young, energetic, and marketable, Easteighteen has become an undeniable force on the regional music scene.
