The Windows Media promotion comes on the heels of the band’s US soft launch last month with their introduction into the Jelli.com Internet radio record pool. RIZE will soon become available on Pandora radio in the coming weeks. The January placement also coincides with Jesse McFaddin’s new solo album, “Stand Up! Fund” which will be released in the US this Spring and the US launch of his clothing line, Slip&Co which will officially debut in the US at the iconic MAGIC industry only retail trade show.

Jesse McFaddin is the lead singer and founder of the extremely popular Japanese rock group, RIZE . RIZE is a hard rock/metal band that has been around for eleven years with major accomplishments such as performing at Live 8 in 2005 and Live Earth in 2007, having their song “Zero” licensed by Coke Zero Japan/Asia, various songs used for PS2 games such as “BioHazard”, and have appeared live with NIN, Run DMC, Jay Z & Oasis. They toured in the US in 2003 on an “All American” tour with The Kottonmouth Kings, performing at 38 shows across the country. Both the group, RIZE , and the lead singer, Jesse McFaddin , are major icons in the Japanese music and pop culture scenes, influencing music, entertainment and fashion by way of Jesse’s clothing line Slip&Co which has collaborated with major retail brands such as New Era.

Japanese Rock Band “fade” Joins Jelli Internet Radio’s Music Catalog

For Immediate Release:

Friday, November 18th, 2011

 

It’s been a busy few months for the Japanese rock band fade who kicked off their US marketing campaign in September by launching on the popular Internet platform, Pandora. Since then, the momentum has only been gathering and today the five member band can add another innovative Internet platform to their distribution list. fade’s three most recent albums, “Age of Innocence”, “To Find A Better Tomorrow” and their latest release “Kings of Dawn” are now available on US consumer oriented platform, Jelli.

Jelli is a US based Internet radio station with a twist. Like other Internet radio stations, they play a variety of genres. But, the twist is that it’s even more user controlled than traditional Internet radio stations. So, not only do users get to “rate” songs, which will then dictate whether or not that song appears again in their playlist, but they also have the opportunity to influence playlists for major commercial terrestrial radio stations here in the US. Consumers can suggest new songs, rate existing songs in the “Jelli Curated” playlists for the online webcast versions of terrestrial radio stations and if the song receives enough likes, it can then become eligible for playback on the actual terrestrial version.

fade is a unique five member rock group from Japan that truly embodies the ability to effectively bridge Eastern and Western cultures by seamlessly blending the iconic 1980’s American rock sounds with their inherent international flavor. Of its band members, four are originally from the United States. Kansei (guitar), Noriyuki (bass) and Rui (drums/writer/founder) hail from New York and their lead singer Jon Underdown is from Seattle – two influential cities known for heavily shaping the American music scene over the years. The fifth member 5° is from Japan and a noted artist within the community.

fade’s addition into Jelli’s catalog comes on the heels of a flurry of press and distribution activity in the US market. Just last week they were interviewed by the music discovery blog, PensEyeView. For the entire month of November select songs and music videos from their three latest albums have been featured prominently on Windows Media Entertainment Guide’s “Artist on the Rise” feature page. In October fade’s content became discoverable through the music tagging mobile platform Shazam, just weeks after being included for in-store entertainment distribution to major retail and hospitality chains (Disney Cruise Lines, Princess Cruise Lines, Hitlon & Marriot hotel chains) by the out-of-home entertainment distribution giant Promo Only. And, in September, fade first debuted in the US through the Internet radio station, Pandora.
