All Killer, No Filler - Interview with Long Island's "The Fearless"

[caption id="attachment_4084" align="alignnone" width="1125"] The Fearless[/caption] The Fearless are a pop-punk rock band from North Massapequa, New York. They formed around six years ago when brothers, Frank Joseph and Paul Sparacino, met up with drummer Matt Maloney by accident during one of their studio sessions. After jamming together and feeling it out, they are now inseparable. The band presents a full spectrum of different types of rock music ranging from classic rock to pop to other tunes that make you want to get up and dance. With Paul as the lead singer and bass player, brother Frank on lead guitar and backing vocals and Matt Maloney supplying the rhythm with his background vocals and stellar drum playing, this band is truly well rounded. They know what they want to sound like and where they want to go. Previously signed to Vindicated Records, The Fearless are currently on a country-wide tour looking for a new label to call home. With the release of their full length LP “Gyrator” coming soon, they are sure to find a new residence quick enough. Self described as “Black Sabbath meets The Beegees, meets CBGB’s, meets a Studio 54 after party” this fun loving band is full of talent and crazy ideas. With fun loving tunes like “Tangled” and “Audible Eyes”, full of catchy guitar riffs and dipping melodies, The Fearless are slowly catching the attention of fans everywhere. Hailing from Queens, a city that has produced bands like “The Ramones” and growing up Long Island, which has produced bands such as “Taking Back Sunday”, The Fearless look to be the next ones to strike stardom in a long line of pop-punk successes. They have the sound, the lyrics, the right attitude and the talent to take their craft to the next level. So come dance along and catch them this Saturday, February 2nd, when they perform at The Bitter End in NYC. Don’t be a square. Read the interview after the jump.

J.J. Abrans Confirmed as Director for New Star Wars Film

After a bevy of emails and phone calls, the formalities have been wrapped up, and at long last everyone can exhale and properly share the word with an excited Internet. Yes, J.J. Abrams will direct Star Wars: Episode VII, the first of a new series of Star Wars films to come from Lucasfilm under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy. Abrams will be directing and Academy Award-winning writer Michael Arndt will write the screenplay. "It's very exciting to have J.J. aboard leading the charge as we set off to make a new Star Wars movie," said Kennedy. "J.J. is the perfect director to helm this. Beyond having such great instincts as a filmmaker, he has an intuitive understanding of this franchise. He understands the essence of the Star Wars experience, and will bring that talent to create an unforgettable motion picture." (Courtesy of StarWars.com) George Lucas went on to say "I've consistently been impressed with J.J. as a filmmaker and storyteller." He's an ideal choice to direct the new Star Wars film and the legacy couldn't be in better hands." "To be a part of the next chapter of the Star Wars saga, to collaborate with Kathy Kennedy and this remarkable group of people, is an absolute honor," J.J. Abrams said. "I may be even more grateful to George Lucas now than I was as a kid." J.J., his longtime producing partner Bryan Burk, and Bad Robot are on board to produce along with Kathleen Kennedy under the Disney | Lucasfilm banner." Also consulting on the project are Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg. Kasdan has a long history with Lucasfilm, as screenwriter on The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Return of the Jedi. Kinberg was writer on Sherlock Holmes and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Abrams and his production company Bad Robot have a proven track record of blockbuster movies that feature complex action, heartfelt drama, iconic heroes and fantastic production values with such credits as Star Trek, Super 8, Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, and this year's Star Trek Into Darkness. Abrams has worked with Lucasfilm's preeminent postproduction facilities, Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound, on all of the feature films he has directed, beginning with Mission: Impossible III. He also created or co-created such acclaimed television series as Felicity, Alias, Lost and Fringe.
