And She Whispered post new song on Myspace.com

Head over to www.myspace.com/andshewhisperedmusic to check out “Do As The Romans Do…”, a brand new track from Henderson, NV’s And She Whispered. The band will be posting a brand new song every other day leading up to the release of their Some Call it Writers Block, I Call It Heartache EP on October 11.

Drawing inspiration from bands such as A Day to Remember, Peirce the Veil, Attack Attack, Asking Alexandria and Taking Back Sunday, AND SHE WHISPERED are quickly becoming one of Sin City’s most promising acts. Through a blitz of killer live shows, and with full support from their hometown commercial alternative rock station, Extreme Radio (which started spinning the single “Swagger Like Mick Jagger”), the band is now poised to break out nationally as they gear up for the For We Are Many Tour with All That Remains, Born of Osiris and Asking Alexandria.

MISSION STATEMENT:
50 Songs 50 States (In Shawn Rosenblatt’s words)
Starting April, I will be without a home for one year. It seems the easiest way to get to all 50 states in one year is to avoid the paying bills and rent and make different parts of the country my home base. I plan on touring a ton and being broke forever. I am starting my journey East (Philly) and playing with Mark from the band Hop Along and possibly another friend. Below is the list of dates. If you’d like us to play at your venue/house/party or if you would like to offer up your house so I can write and record a song in it, please message me Netherfriendsbooking@gmail.com.

For more on the 50 Songs 50 States project and to follow Shawn’s progress, check out his blog, chart his progress on Tumblr and follow him on Twitter.
