Myth & Judgment Voted Best Local CD Release of
2007....
Rosemary Gates is proud to
announce that Myth & Judgment was voted the best local CD release of 2007
by fans and readers of local entertainment guide, WhatzUp
Magazine.....
We are extremely proud of
this award,†said guitarist Michael Archbold. Â
“Not only is it nice to be recognized for the hard work and effort we
put into this record, but we are especially proud of it because it represents
local ORIGINAL music. Â In recent years,
it seems, original music has taken a backseat to party bands and cover
tunes. Â Those things are fine and we have
been part of that scene in the past as well, but as artists,
the true joy for our band has been in writing and
producing our own music. Â Bassist Bryan
Bankson adds, “You aren’t anything unless you are laying down your own
grooves! Â We hold ourselves to the
highest standards of writing and producing music. Â We really dedicate ourselves fully to that pursuit;
even more so now than in the past.â€....
In 2004, the band invested
in its own record company and recording studio ; King
James Records & Studio. Â This
investment has enabled the band to be more creative and eclectic in its musical
pursuits. Â Vocalist Christian Schult
adds, “With us owning our own studio, expect more frequent releases from the
band.â€....
Currently, Rosemary Gates
has two projects under way including a new studio album due out late 2008. Â The band is also working on a video
re-release of Myth & Judgment, which will include a video presentation of
the album, live performance material, and interviews with the band.....
