Fast-rising and genre-bending rock band SomeKindaWonderful has just released their eponymous debut album, landing in the Top 10 on the iTunes Alternative Chart. PRESS HERE<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE30g4Paph8> to stream a snippet of each song and PRESS HERE<http://smarturl.it/SomeKindaWonderful> to download the album now on iTunes.

Additionally, SomeKindaWonderful has announced a North American Fall Tour with New Politics and Bad Suns. The current list of tour dates is below and more dates will be announced soon. The band has sold out the first few dates of their current "California Love" tour and have several album release shows coming up in Los Angeles, including June 26 at Bootleg Theater, June 30 at Bardot Hollywood and July 1 at Sayers Club.

The album release is the culmination of more than a week of teasing the new album to their rapidly growing fan base, unveiling a song each day with support from the likes of USA Today, Yahoo! Music, Purevolume and Earmilk. SomeKindaWonderful have crafted their neo-soul rock sound to perfection, melding a retro style with contemporary influences. The album is threaded together with stories of true love, happiness, lust, strength, fear, rebellion and so much more. Add hit radio single "Reverse" (PRESS HERE<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crxcyRIFB8U&feature=kp>) into the mix and it's no wonder why SomeKindaWonderful is striking a chord as one of the most exciting breakout bands of 2014. Stay tuned for the official music video for "Reverse," helmed by celebrated video director Marc Klasfeld.

"Reverse," which was recorded less than 3 hours after SomeKindaWonderful fortuitously met in a Cleveland, OH bar, is now climbing into Top 20 at Alternative Radio and has over 1.4 million streams on Spotify, Pandora and Soundcloud. It became the most-played song on KROQ Los Angeles and on SiriusXM Alt Nation. "Reverse" was named "Best Song of the Year...This Week" on 98.7 in Los Angeles and landed in the Top 10 on Spotify's Alternative Chart and Spotify Viral 50 chart, with Spotify streams doubling each week.
