LISTEN & SHARE:

"Same White Shoes"

"There’s something wonderfully satiating about the way the guitar tones compliment each other — satisfying melodic intricacies entering and exiting at the right moments. "

- The Wild Honey Pie

Boston-based indie folk rock project Covey releases single "Same White Shoes," via The Wild Honey Pie and announces their debut LP Haggarty, due out September 22, 2017. With only a couple singles out and no major label support, Covey has amassed over 110,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and single "Comes And Goes," currently stands at over 2 million plays. Since relocating to the United States for school in 2010, Covey has managed to connect with listeners across the world through soul-baring lyrics and raw vocals.

Today, The Wild Honey Pie premieres Covey's lead single "Same White Shoes" stating, "While the song’s tone suggests remorse, the chorus’ la la las manage to make light of the heavy situation." The track comes off the forthcoming release Haggarty. Covey is fronted by British multi-intrumentalist and vocalist, Tom Freeman. The album maintains Covey's signature folk sound, with a punk pop influences and indie rock flare. The 10-track LP deals with themes of isolation, nostalgia, and navigating through distance and disarray. Haggarty draws similarities from Covey's previous releases, like "Bows" and "Daisies," with a more evolved sound. It features performances by Guillermo Goldschmied on bass, Adam Marks on keys, and Dillon Rovere on drums. The album was mixed and mastered by Alex Garcia-Rivera and recorded at Mystic Valley Recording, an all analog studio in Medford, MA. The record will be available in CD, Vinyl, and limited Cassettes (which were put together personally by Tom), and will be distributed digitally by Spotify, Bandcamp, iTunes, and Google Play.

Covey was born out of inspiration from bands like Neutral Milk Hotel, The Smiths, and Nick Drake. Since relocating to the United States for school in 2010, Covey has managed to connect with listeners across the world through soul-baring lyrics and raw vocals. A songwriter for 9 years, frontman Tom Freeman has lived in many places throughout his life including England, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. Moving from place to place caused him to explore a wide breadth of cultures and influenced him artistically. Covey has opened for national touring artists like Hozier, The Last Bison, High As A Kite, Gabriel Kahane, Vagabon and Soak. In support of Haggarty's release, Covey plans to make tour stops along the East Coast.

ARTIST BIO:

Covey is an indie folk rock project fronted by British multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Tom Freeman. Since relocating to the United States for school in 2010, he has managed to connect with listeners across the world through his soul-baring lyrics and raw vocals.                           A songwriter for 9 years, Freeman has lived in many places throughout his life including England, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. Moving from place to place caused him to explore a wide breadth of cultures and influenced him artistically. This breadth of experience was implemented into his music at an early age, and lead to experimentation with different genres such as folk, rock, punk, indie, and electronic. Freeman eventually found a voice and a home in Boston, Massachusetts, where the Covey project was born.                     Ultimately influenced by a wide variety of genres, Covey’s sound has a distinct personality. Folky lyrical driven songwriting is complimented by textures of synth and distorted guitar. As described by Sound of Boston, the vocals are “relaxed, natural, and infectiously uplifting”. Musical influences range from artists such as Neutral Milk Hotel, Nick Drake, and Blink-182.                     Covey has been featured on the BIRN radio network, and online publications such as Under The Gun Review, and Allston Pudding. Their premier track “Comes and Goes” has won BostInno’s “Song of the Week”, “New England Band of the Month” feature on Deli Magazine, and was recently featured in a national Expedia commercial.                     Only in its third year, Covey has opened for national touring artists such as Hoizer, The Last Bison, High As A Kite, Gabriel Kahane, Vagabon, Soak and has played across the Northeast. Look for Covey’s debut album this fall on Spotify, Bandcamp, and iTunes.

"Emerging Toronto-based band Honors’ new song “Say Yes” premieres at All Things Go, who call it, “The latest single by Honors has us in the clouds. With a mellow intro and almost ethereal vibe, ‘Say Yes’ is a slow burning flame that singes the hairs rising from your neck. Consisting of four multi-instrumentalists whose knowledge of music history is clear, the Toronto up-and-comers are pop storytellers defining their own tradition.” Listen/share the track here: prmd.co/sayyes. Most recently, the video for the band’s acclaimed song “Over” premiered at Ones To Watch who proclaimed, “With an already-established alternative R&B sound and engaging visual aesthetic, the Toronto-based four-piece is clearly off to a promising start.” The video was directed by Kid.
