| From the depths of Florida comes COPELAND, one of the most beautiful and passionate bands your ears will ever have the pleasure to hear. This 4-piece band developed for 2 years in Florida's over-saturated music scene before moving to Atlanta in search of new audiences and a fresh start. Copeland makes their Militia Group debut with their first
full-length record, "BENEATH MEDICINE TREE". Virtuosic vocals from COPELAND front man, Aaron Marsh, at times pay homage to tenor legend JEFF BUCKLEY with belting confidence, or gleam with elegance and passion in the vein
of Chris Martin (COLDPLAY). The songwriting is splendid, blending pop sensible melodies, lush harmonies, and moody lyrics with ambient guitar leads and clever arrangements encasing everything that is beautiful. With one split EP
release on micro-indie label Theory 8 (Nashville, TN), COPELAND has toured the eastern seaboard and midwest enough to sell 1000 copies on their own. Now, with full-label support from the Militia Group, COPELAND will tour to support "BENEATH MEDICINE TREE" with a tireless work ethic. |
