Werewolves Across America
A Film by D.A.R.Y.L.
http://werewolvesacrossamerica.com/
www.pulsefilms.com
Catch a unique glimpse into America's DIY music scene with exclusive screenings of a cult indie road movie.
Werewolves Across America is a portrait of modern youth culture by directors D.A.R.Y.L. (Katy Perry – Part Of Me) The film stars US indie musicians Phosphorescent, Deer Tick & The Shivers and focuses on cult folk icon Viking Moses who guides us through the world of the US DIY music scene. With him we meet a variety of characters - a young Lutheran priest, a Manhattan real estate agent and an ex-drug addict from Florida. All have chosen to reject the American Dream in search of something else - but what are they seeking and at what cost?
Viking Moses (Brendon Massei) has been recording and touring independently as a full-time job since he was 14, and he’s spent more than half of his life paving trails for other musicians to follow. Artists that Massei took on their first tours include: Deer Tick, Scout Niblett and Nat Baldwyn of the Dirty Projectors.” Massei continues to win over fans and critics with his delicate melodies and versatility as a performer.

Teaming up in the steaming city of Saigon, Vietnam, Brett Newski & the Corruption recorded Tiny Victories; an album for the underdog. It is about the long slow burn, chipping away at the mission at hand whether it takes minutes, days, hours or years.
Tiny Victories was recorded in Saigon, Vietnam. The studio was located in the heart of a densely populated Vietnamese neighborhood next to a meat market.
The band is comprised of lyricist/guitarist Brett Newski (USA), drummer Matt Green (UK), and bassist Jeffro Gantner (Canada).

“The band has a pleasing, accessible dynamic with appealing harmony work and some truly hook-laden melodies”
- Jan Michael Sherman, Director of Publicity, MCA Records (Ret.)
“In an era where music is being dominated by auto-tune and obsession over looking for the next big thing, the importance on the survival of true rock music is that there are bands still willing to carry the torch. Brett Newski and the Corruption are just that type of band to pin our hopes on.”- Rich Turiel, GBV.com, Guided by Voices
“An album that’s gonna be the soundtrack to many a drive with tracks that will find a home on almost every mix cd and playlist I make. It’s heartfelt with catchy hooks and endearing lyrical gems.” - DurbanIsYours.com (South Africa)
“Littered with tidy harmonies, innovative counter-melodies, and a clarity of production that proves that, for this trio, less is most definitely more.” -London Calling Radio

In the summer of 2006 The Sumner Brothers transformed their garage into a recording studio and created In The Garage. The album became an underground sensation, garnering the attention of future collaborator Sam Parton (The Be Good Tanyas) and charting in the top 10 for Folk/Roots/Blues on Canadian College Radio.
With a fired-up fan-base and a sprawling tour schedule, the brothers released their Self Titled Debut in 2008. They created an alt-country gem. Attracting throngs of admirers, the album placed in The Province Newspaper’s 2008 top ten list. ‘Girl in the Window’ won Best Alt-Country Song at the 9th Annual IMA’s and 'Ticket to Ride' was included in Music BC’s 2010 compilation.
In 2010, the brothers released a follow-up to In The Garage entitled In The Garage II - Your Last Chance. Like its predecessor, the album digs deep into the Sumner Brothers archives of recorded material. In The Garage II is at times intimate, rowdy, odd and through and through magical. The record was featured in Slowcoustic’s top Canadian records of 2010 and received 4.5 stars from Americanrootsuk.com.
This past fall welcomed the release of the brothers’ latest effort, I'll Be There Tomorrow. The album reached #17 on the Euro Americana charts; The Georgia Straight called it "a triumph" The Edmonton Sun referred to it as "the finest alt-country north of the 49th parallel." and Americanarootsuk.com (former Maverick writer) wrote "I wouldn't be at all surprised if this 5 star album ends up in my top 20 all time"
