About Me


NEEDMORE hands down is one of the hardest working bands in the United States. Originating from Columbus, Ohio in 2006, the group has been writing, recording, and performing nonstop ever since. In late 2006, the group moved to Los Angeles, California where they heavily played shows in and around Hollywood. In very little time, they found themselves playing for major record labels at sold out showcases, and in late 2007 signed their first record deal.
NEEDMORE has been named a top band by AOL MUSIC (Ourstage) two consecutive times in 2008 and again two more times in 2009! NEEDMORE has also garnered over 7 MILLION spins on the social networking phenomenon MySpace Music; accruing thousands upon thousands of spins per day. Working very closely with TV & Film, NEEDMORE has acquired placements of their songs in major motion pictures (20th Century Fox, Lakeshore Entertainment, etc.) as well as on soundtracks joining the likes of Nickelback, Mutemath, Jonas Brothers, and many other accomplished and successful names in the music industry.
Recently, NEEDMORE finished recording in Los Angeles with Grammy nominated Producer Tom Keane [Kanye West, Chicago, Chaka Kahn, Whitney Houston, etc.], Grammy winning producer/engineer Wyn Davis [Guns N Roses, Sublime, No Doubt, MuteMath, etc.], and Grammy nominated engineer Joe Gastwirt [Pearl Jam, 311, Lifehouse, Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, etc.] on their forthcoming album.
NEEDMORE is not just a great recording artist though, they pride themselves on their LIVE performance. The members of NEEDMORE have played in many, many venues across the world [from the world famous "Hollywood Bowl," to New Years eve celebrations in Mumbai, India (with A.R. Rahman and Nelly Furtado) to colleges and universities across the nation].
They recently ended a successful tour (playing shows with Gym Class Heroes) and are currently in contact with other major recording and touring artists (via their management) such as "Goo Goo Dolls," "The Fray," "Incubus," "Daughtry," "OneRepublic," "Mutemath," and "Lifehouse," in an effort to put together some upcoming tour dates as well.
The NEEDMORE live show is a MUST SEE...
