OVERLAY – KICK THE HABIT (EP) - CD RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – February 5, 2009

On Saturday February 7, 2009 at 11pm, indie rock band Overlay will release its debut EP (Kick the Habit) at the Rock House bar on George St.

Overlay was born in mid 2008 to the depressing beauty of a snow and fog filled Newfoundland spring. They are a band hard to define – a bulk of their material is lyrically driven, blended with the sounds of rock, pop, folk, funk, roots and everything else in between. Overlay is truly appreciated during their live shows, combining unadulterated rock and roll with high energy and climatic filled performances.

They spent most of 2008 honing their sound, adding life to vocalist John Feltham’s endless sea of interpersonal and socially conscious lyrics, while collaborating on new material from their frequent jam sessions.

Overlay has grown from a two piece acoustic project between Feltham and percussionist Martin Ordonez (and a stint with Scott Skanes on lead guitar) to the current four piece electric band; John Feltham (vocals and guitar), Martin O’Driscoll (bass and vocals), Gene Browne (lead guitar) and Mark Walsh (percussion).

The band has an impressive catalog of material and continues to develop new music, with plans to record a full length album in early spring 2009.

Kick the Habit was recorded in St. John’s, Newfoundland at Black Cat Studios, and was mixed and engineered by Steve Colbourne. The band has evolved a lot since the recording in late 2008, and the CD provides only a small taste of what’s to come from Overlay.

**Kick the Habit will be available for download at overlayband.com, for purchase at upcoming live shows and at Fred’s Records (after February 10, 2009). **
