After nearly a year of solid touring back and forth across North America, the UK and Europe - Island Records group Innerpartysystem has worked its way right up to the September 30th arrival of their self-titled debut album INNERPARTYSYSTEM, featuring the gripping debut single and video "Don't Stop.IPS promos (slated up to 50 per week) for the one-month program begin next week (September 15th) on the FUSE cable channel and microsite. FUSE, an early supporter of IPS, has been running the "Don't Stop" video online since June and on tv since July, and ran exclusive interviews with the band from Lollapalooza in August. "Don't Stop" is also getting tremendous support from mtvU, which added the video in rotation since June. The single continues to gather Alternative radio airplay at major tastemaker stations such as 89x Detroit, Q101 Chicago, The Point (KPNT) St. Louis, X 96 Salt Lake City, Radio 104.5 (WRFF) Philly, WLUM Milwaukee and more. "Don't Stop" was featured last weekend on KROQ's Jed The Fish "Out Of Order" program, syndicated to more than 60 Modern Rock and Active Rocks stations.
INNERPARTYSYSTEM brought together an A-level quorum of producers and mixers including Joel Hamilton (Book of Knots, Sparklehorse, Blue Tip), Mark Needham (the Killers, Pete Yorn), Spike Stent (Björk, Arcade Fire), Alan Moulder (Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Jesus & Mary Chain, the Killers), and Stuart Price (Madonna), all of whom brought new ideas on sound and instrumentation to the group.
On October 4th, IPS returns for eight club dates in the UK - where Kerrang magazine (in its review of "Don't Stop") noted, "If you're looking for some beefy, groove-laden electro-rock, then you're gonna cream your pants at this stompy dancefloor destroyer's titanic chorus." The band's UK success - on Capitol Radio, Radio 1 and XFM, across-the-board in every publication from Kerrang to Music Week to NME, and on television (NME TV, "Flaunt," MTV2, "Kerrang," and so on) - has given them a secure touring base in Britain. Meanwhile, IPS returns home for a major 22-city U.S. tour (with 3OH!3 and Chaingang Of 1974) starting in Fresno on October 19th. The six-week schedule encompasses their appearance with Nine Inch Nails at the Voodoo Music Experience festival in New Orleans on October 25th.
Innerpartysystem was introduced to the world last fall 2007 with The Download EP, a six-song batch of self-recorded demos - including "Don't Stop" - that pointed the way to their debut album. "Don't Stop" was licensed to EA's globally popular FIFA Street 3 freestyle street football (soccer) video game (released November 2007); and is heard on the soundtrack of EA's Madden NFL '09 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition (released August 2008), one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time. Another track "Heart of Fire," was played during the MTV VMAs in September 2007; and was licensed to EA's Burnout Paradise video game (released January 2008).
Innerpartysystem - lead singer Patrick Nissley, Jesse Cronan (keyboards, programming), Kris Barman (guitar, keyboards), and Jared Piccone (drums) - took their name from the hierarchic controlling class in George Orwell's 1984.
