Release Notes:

Columbia Records is set to release Phantoms, the eagerly-awaited

major label debut album from Acceptance, the alternative pop/rock

band from Seattle that's been identified as one of AOL Music's New

Breakers, a "Band To Watch" (Alternative Press) and a "Next Big

Thing" (Spin). Phantoms hits the stores on Tuesday, April 26.

Phantoms was recorded in June and July, 2004, at Compound Studios

in Seattle, Washington with Aaron Sprinkle (MxPx, Pedro The Lion,

Anberlin), an accomplished singer-songwriter in his own right,

handling production. Sprinkle first worked with Acceptance on the

group's 2003 indie release on The Militia Group label, Black Lines

to Battlefields, which was featured on MTV's "You Hear It First."

The first single from Phantoms is "Different," a compelling ode to

the shifting complexities of identity in a media-saturated culture.

Acceptance is: Kaylan Cloyd (guitar), Christian McAlhaney (guitar),

Nick Radovanovic (drums), Jason Vena (vocals), and Ryan Zwiefelhofer

(bass). Formed in Seattle in 1998, the group released an indie EP,

Lost For Words, in 1999, and caught the ear of Columbia Records A&R

executive (and iconic former host of MTV's pioneering "120 Minutes")

Matt Pinfield with a five-song demo (that would later form the core

of Black Lines to Battlefields). Acceptance became one of the most

popular bands on MP3.com, continually minting new fans with an

irresistible combination of punk, hard rock, and hook-packed pop.

Over the course of the band's burgeoning career, Acceptance has

toured extensively, crafting a flawless live show while sharing

bills with artists like Brand New, Yellowcard, Fallout Boy, One Line

Drawing, and the group's Columbia labelmates Coheed & Cambria, among

others.
