DEAS VAIL SIGN TO MONO VS STEREO
BAND TO RELEASE SOPHOMORE FULL LENGTH ALBUM
"BIRDS & CAGES"
ON OCTOBER 27
ON TOUR NOW WITH MAE
2010 TOUR WITH OWL CITY CONFIRMED

Hailing from Russellville, AR—Deas Vail inks a deal with Mono vs Stereo, with 1 full length and
2 EP's already under their belt the band gets set to release their sophomore full length album
Birds & Cages at all digital outlets and available for purchase at all tour dates on October 27 with
non-stop touring well into 2010. Currently you can find the band on the road with Mae and look
for the band to kick into 2010 in high gear as they hit the road with Owl City on January 21 (full
list of dates below.)

I have been all about Deas Vail for years, so when we came across the opportunity to
sign them, it just made sense. I know this band has so many great songs still to come,
and I am so excited about being able work with them. I believe they will really set a
precedent for the kind of music that we will put out at Mono Vs Stereo, and I couldn't
think of a better first release for our new label. I am convinced that anyone who takes
time to listen will agree that this band is special”
– Matt Hoopes, Mono vs Stereo Head of A&R and Relient K guitarist.

The band formed a few years ago while its members were students at Arkansas Tech in the
Midwestern hamlet of Russellville, AR. While at school, Blaylock began writing songs he
initially envisioned as solo works but as his affinity for the indie-rock scene grew, Deas Vail was
born.

Mixing a unique blend of indie-rock with Wes Blaylock's distinctive upper register range and
falsetto joined by the unfailingly sharp and frenetic guitar work of Andy Moore, then add in the
hauntingly melodic sounds from keyboardist Laura Blaylock and the driving and cunning rhythm
section of drummer Kelsey Harelson and bassist Justin Froning you get the original sound that
only Deas Vail creates.

"When we started, it was something we wanted to do because we enjoy music," Blaylock said.
"We write songs because we love songs. They make us happy or explain an experience. That's
why I grab hold of these songs and love them. It's something we really care about."
Deas Vail’s Birds & Cages is the second release from the newly revived record label, Mono vs.
Stereo, a partnership between Gotee Records and Relient K.

Deas Vail is: Wes Blaylock - Vocals, Keys, Laura Blaylock - Keys, Synth, Kelsey Harelson - Drums , Andy Moore - Guitar and Justin Froning – Bass.

Good for them. I hope they get the much needed exposure they deserve.

Nice to have an official announcement! I talked to Wes about it last week at the Roxy, they seem really stoked to finally be on a label again (their old one completely fell apart). Considering they've had the new album recorded for over a year now, it's about time the masses got to hear it.

Not surprising; good band, respectable label. Congrats DV!

I saw these guys last night in Seattle and was blown away... they are awesome!

Good for them! Congrats, seeing them soon with Mae!

Great news for them. Really solid band and I'm looking forward to their new stuff!

saw them during the summer at this really small church and it was awesome, they played some new stuff and talked about their new record, ive been a fan for a while really looking forward to the new stuff it sounded awesome live despite the shotty PA system

Congrats guys!

Relient K doin work! Good signing.

Hell yes, they fucking deserve it!

Great, great band. Good things to come for these guys.
