this September, and a recent tour with radio favorites The Hot Lies,

Adelaide’s MERE THEORY is set to take it on the road with their

national headlining tour throughout November.   

MERE

THEORY is one of Australian rock’s last great hopes. Their no-nonsense

attitude and distinct, melodic sound has already endeared them to

discerning music lovers everywhere. Their full-length debut ‘Catalan

Atlas’ was recorded and mixed at Melbourne's Sing Sing Studios with

producer Richard Stolz (Bodyjar, After the Fall). The album includes a

newly recorded version of the band’s earlier single ‘You Will Never

Win’, and the first ‘Catalan Atlas’ single ‘Gracefully’’. Not

surprisingly, the album has received rave reviews including a 4/5

rating from Rolling Stone and 9/10 from Blunt Magazine!     

The

heartfelt single ‘Gracefully’ describes a band on the road. The song is

about finding your own way; giving your all, and backing your friends. 

The accompanying film clip (the band’s first ever) was shot in June,

utilizing green screen technology and epic effects to create four

seasons in the space of three minutes. The amazing clip has since

received television play on both Channel V and ABC’s Rage, and is

available for voting on JTV Saturday. It can also be seen at www.myspace.com/meretheory.

‘Gracefully’

is available as a limited edition 7” coloured vinyl single (hand

numbered edition of 400), featuring the exclusive B-Side ‘System

Failure’ exclusively from www.killyourstereo.com and iTunes.

MERE

THEORY take their debut album ‘Catalas Atlas’ on the road nationally
