Check out music from 3 of the bands playing Promowest Fest here:

Brand New – “I Am A Nightmare” (After a long hiatus, the emo-era favorites returned to touring in the last couple of years and have also very slowly released new music  in the form of two singles, the latest of which is heard here and was released in May.  Anthemic and energetic, the band is back in full form and will be on display on Sunday night.) http://www.fightoffyourdemons.com/

The Wombats – Give Me A Try" (The Liverpool-based trio The Wombats released their third album, Glitterbug last year to great praise via Bright Antenna Records and their infectious, festival-ready synth-driven indie-pop will be the perfect way to start the fest off on opening night!) http://www.thewombats.co.uk/

Atlas Genius – “Molecules” (The L.A.-by-way-of Australia alt.rock duo consisting of brothers Keith and Michael Jeffrey – whose stellar sophomore album, Inanimate Objects was released last year via Warner Bros Records - will bring their danceable rhythms and bright synth-pop melodies to the Promowest Fest stage on Sunday.) www.atlasgenius.com
