Easton Legacy

Formed in 2004 in Massachusetts, Easton Legacy quickly dominated their local scene and set out on their first national tour in summer of 2005. After returning and finishing their first EP, "Reaction to Turbulence", the band released a music video for their first single, "Code Black". The video charted #20 on YouTube’s most viewed count-down during its debut week. Businessmen themselves, the band has independently marketed and sold over 1,000 copies of the first EP.

In January of 2007, Alternative Press Magazine featured Easton Legacy as one of the “Top Ten Unsigned Artists of 2006" They were well-deserving at #2 on the chart. Just a few months later, American Music Press (AMP) released a praising review of the EP.

Immediately after, the band used their momentum to tour regionally for several months including a co-headlining tour with Eyeball Records' band Going Home and making an appearance on the 2006 Vans Warped tour (after being personally chosen by Kevin Lyman), while prepping for a month long East Coast tour spanning almost every state from New Hampshire to Florida.

Present and "New Nightmares to Challenge Sleep":

After the band’s “Leaving Your Legacy Tour”, Easton Legacy finished writing and recording their follow up, "New Nightmares to Challenge Sleep". "New Nightmares" is an ambitious drive forward with powerful songs that bring forth a dynamic sound of piano and synth-infused melodies, catchy guitar work, and passionate, heart-felt vocals. The album was recorded by certified gold record producers Mike Birnbaum and Chris Bitner, who have previously worked with notable artists such as John Mayer, Coheed and Cambria, The Sleeping, and Straylight Run. The album was mastered by platinum and Grammy nominated, Mike Fossenkemper, who has worked on albums for Madonna, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, LL Cool J, and the Get Up Kids. "New Nightmare" has a polished sound that is brought to life through an energetic live performance.

Currently Easton Legacy are touring to promote the new album and have independently sold 1,000 copies at shows alone. The new album is also available at select Hot Topic and Newbury Comics stores as well as on iTunes and Amazon.com
