HELLO EDEN is a rock n' roll quartet with one simple goal: "To welcome all forms of inspiration, and churn out massive amounts of amazing compositions in a time when mainstream music has become uninspired, diluted and polluted". Veterans of the tri-state-area club scene, HELLO EDEN are seething with ambition and eagerly await their coronation.
Members of HELLO EDEN include New Jersey natives Derrick K. on guitar, Erock on drums, Sal Marrano on vocals, and New Yorker Billy Uptown on bass. They have completed three excellent recordings dating back to 2003, and have recently finished recording a 3-song promotional disc at the 'House of Loud' in Elmwood Park, NJ with producer Kato Khandwala (Paramore, Hawthorne Heights, Breaking Benjamin). In just two short weeks, the fantastic production team there helped prepare Hello Eden to bring rock n' roll back to life.
HELLO EDEN take a clearly defined grasp on the blues/rock of yesterday, and the progressive/modern sounds of today and blend them all masterfully throughout their long list of eclectic songs. Major influences include: Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Who, Black Sabbath, Guns N' Roses, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers… just to name a few. Hello Eden is most often compared to current bands, such as: Incubus, Led Zeppelin, Mars Volta, Rush and Tool.
Major milestones for HELLO EDEN included opening slots for major bands, such as: Black Light Burns, Buckcherry, Fuel, and Clutch at The Starland Ballroom in Sayerville, NJ, as well as, the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ. They have infected local airwaves and are always extremely well received by fans who are generally shocked when the band performs.
Indifferent to criticism, and resistant to conformity, HELLO EDEN vows to let the music speak for itself. With big balls and bigger middle fingers, the foursome refuse to be victimized by the status quo. Don't expect manicured hairstyles and perfectly imperfect jeans. Prepare for real Rock n' Roll with all the attitude only rock can instill in a person's soul.
