<b>Eric Victorino. <o:p></o:p></b></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><i><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">Hush
</span></i><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:black">is a testament to the adage that everything happens for a reason, and learning to accept change. On one hand<i>
</i>the record is slightly similar to their pervious projects – lively and witty tunes that are perfect for a summer party soundtrack. On the other hand you can tell The Limos’ sound has developed since the release of their debut album
<i>Get Sharp </i>(2010). <i>Hush</i> branches out of The Limos’ familiar electronic sound and infuses their dirty beats with a stunning, new diverse mix of new wave, soul, disco, funk and Caribbean zouk elements. Overly excited yelps and childish sing-song
melodies the pair had recorded in the past are now toned down and refined with deeper meaningful lyrics about lost, lust, trust and protection. The guys felt this new mature sound stemmed from their own personal lives taking a humble turn. While recording
<i>Hush</i> both of them unfortunately lost an abnormal number of friends and family to various tragedies, and Victorino himself was dealing with a mental illness in late 2011. Life’s cruel circumstances forced them out of their own comfort zone – personally
and musically – but over time they were able to embrace the change with peace and clarity.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">“I don’t think it would have been possible for us to write the same kind of album now,” says Giovanni. “We’ve become such close friends. We’ve
traveled the world together, and helped each other through a lot of really hard times.” Victorino continues, “The last album was fun, and this one has its fun moments too, but that’s pretty much all the two have in common. Where
<i>Get Sharp</i> had no songs about love, nothing sexy, hardly any darkness – <i>
Hush</i> is all about love, drugs, loss and sex...mostly sex. This is where the Limousines stop masturbating and start fucking. It’s our version of growing up.”<br>
<br>
<span style="color:black">Their energetic live show has taken them worldwide, opening for
<b>Weezer, Neon Trees</b>, and <b>The Sounds</b>. They’ve performed at several music festivals including:
<b>Outside Lands, The Bamboozle, Treasure Island,</b> and<b> Noisepop</b></span><span style="color:#1F497D">,
</span><span style="color:black">plus have had the honor to give private performances at various events such as:
<b>Coca Cola at the 2012 London Olympics, Google Play, Red Bull, Macy’s, <i>NYLON</i>, Hipstamatic</b>, and
<b>AT&T</b>. Their pervious singles - like “<b>Internet Killed The Video Star</b>,”<b>
</b>which the track’s video has accumulated over 1 million views on <i>You Tube</i> –<b>
</b>have charted on <b><i>Sirius/ XM</i></b><i>’s <b>Alt Nation Top 18</b>,</i> received numerous synchs (including various shows on
<b><i>MTV</i></b>), and have earned them the title of<i> <b>MTV</b></i>’s <b><i>Push Artist of the Week</i></b>.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">After signing a singles deal with Universal Republic in 2009 and a brief stint in 2011 with Dangerbird Records, that saw downsizing and the eventual departure of the label’s
CEO, The Limousines were released from their contract. Independent once more in the fall of 2012, The Limos launched a Kickstarter campaign raising an impressive amount of $75,000 in 28 days for the recording and release of
<i>Hush</i>. <br>
<br>
<i>Hush</i> is about going through the emotions of change and sharing some of life’s most defining moments. Somehow, with all its differences, the new sound of The Limousines is still unmistakably
<i>them</i> – just better. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
