Miami’s Modernage are continuing to get mileage out of their September released Sirhan Sirhan EP. With this third release, Modernage have taken various musical elements from their inspirations and artfully fused them together to create an ageless 5-track EP that has the gloom-rock atmospherics of White Lies, the driving bass of Snowden, the clever lyrical lamentation of the National, and occasional crooning and danceability that is reminiscent of Joy Division. The construct of such ingredients glistens, making it difficult for listeners to overlook. Modernage is all about maximizing this exposure through their gamut of styles, recently landing themselves as openers for bands like Bloc Party, the Walkmen, Peter Hook, the National, and the Stills.
In the meantime, check out “Creatures” of the Sirhan Sirhan EP.

Uplifter is the band’s first studio record in three years and was produced by the legendary Bob Rock (Metallica, Simple Plan, Veruca Salt). As the title suggests, the band’s new album is an uplifting collection of 311's trademark blend of rock & reggae; elevated by inspired songwriting, dynamic musicianship and big anthemic choruses. A deluxe edition of Uplifter will include a special DVD documentary, "The Road to 311 Day," directed by Wayne Price.
The documentary, including interviews, backstage footage and live performances, follows the band and their fans for the week leading up to the 3-11 Day concert event in New Orleans in 2008.

Support acts on the past five Unity Tours have included Snoop Dogg, The Roots, Papa Roach, The Wailers, O.A.R. and Matisyahu.
