Harmonix recently announced the opening of the Rock Band network to developers and music makers to upload and sell thier song as rock band tracks (See: http://www.rockband.com/rock-band-network and http://creators.rockband.com/)

When we heard that Harmonix will release Rock Band Network, our enthusiastic team jumped at the opportunity to get involved in one of our all-time favorite games.  We started making tracks of our own of music from our games, and have been making a few tracks for Israeli bands and independent artists using the Rock Band creation tools that Harmonix has released.

We are looking to make many more songs in the near future, before the Rock Band Network store opens.

If you represent a record-label, or you’re an independent artist, we are here for you; willing to put all our knowledge, skill and resources to get your music out for the Rock Band crowd, in the best possible way.

Please contact us, for your first step into the Rock Band community.

Eatliz is one of Israel’s leading alternative rock bands, which earned its strong cult following of indie rock fans by the band’s outstanding intense and extensive live performances. Eatliz is also known for its internationally awarded music videos and for reinventing itself in every live show, where the stage is a playground and every show is unique.

Eatliz unconventional approach to music makes it tough to label with a genre as every song of the band is an adventure, a toy to be played by the skilled hands of the band members, and a genuine declaration of originality and vision.  

Eatliz’s debut album “Violently Delicate” was released in Germany, Switzerland,Austria and Israel by Anova Records to a wide critical acclaim in 2008 and was played constantly in Israel’s biggest radio stations, while ‘Attractive‘ got a massive radio airplay in Germany as well. This led to an invitation on behalf of the Popkomm festival 2008 to play a showcase.

The album was promoted with two worldwide awarded spectacular music videos – ‘Attractive’ and ‘Hey’. Attractive was chosen to promote the luxury MTV Artists Spot that was made on the band, and also won the ‘Ourstage’ website grand prize, as voted by fans all over the world. Hey participated at over 75 worldwide music video and film festivals, and won 9 international awards, including the Spike Lee Award at Babelgum competition at the Tribeca film festival. Both videos got a massive web buzz with countless blog reviews, gained over 500,000 views in Youtube only and were featured at dozens Youtube local channels.

The music of Eatliz is described by the band members as ‘complicated pop’, as the band’s songwriting is eclectic and combines various of influences, from soft pop to hard-rock elements, brings to mind bands like  Mr. Bungle, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Bjork, Portishead and Cardiacs. The variety of styles the band combines in a single song, has helped them gain fans of many genres, crossing ages and countries to one distinctive sound.

Eatliz released an EP of outtakes from the first album titled ‘Delicately Violent’ in November 2009. The beginning of 2010 will see the release of a second album of new materials with Anova Records and a European tour to support the release.

Such an exceptional fantasy! Cuddly yet powerful, That’s Eatliz for you.

Widely regarded as Israel’s best rock export since Minimal Compact, Rockfour’s signature sound is a tightly knit mesh of guitar driven drums-bass-vocal harmony that hints at Love, the Beatles, Grandaddy and the Byrds. Rockfour burst onto the world scene in 2000 with the release of its first English-language record Supermarket on Earsay Records, an internationally acclaimed debut which was selected by Rolling Stone music critic Richie Unterberger as one of his ten favorite albums of that year.

The release of Rockfour’s second album in 2001, One Fantastic Day, also garnered accolades from top media outlets such as NPR, The New York Times, Rolling Stone and The Los Angeles Times (which dubbed it a “world-class band flexing its musical muscles.”). Opening for other bands like Dave Matthews, the B-52s and Blondie, together with appearances at festivals like International Pop Overthrow, SXSW and CMJ Music Marathon, has helped seal Rockfour’s reputation as “one of the most explosive live bands in the world” (Fufkin.com). After its first appearance at CMJ in 2001, Rockfour was immediately signed to the renowned American guitar-pop label Rainbow Quartz and subsequently released two more albums: the break-through Another Beginning (2002) and the follow-up Nationwide in 2004 recorded in Detroit with producer Jim Diamond (The White Stripes) in 2004.

Memories of the Never Happened marks Rockfour’s first release at AnovA Music and Cooking Vinyl and the debut of their new lineup! The album, recorded in San Diego at Earthling Studios and co-produced by Chris Berens and band members Baruch Ben Izhak and Marc Lazare includes 11 energy-packed tracks mixed with vaulting jams and melodic harmonies.
