UNKNOWN BOY REVEALED IN NEW MUSIC VIDEO & RELEASE OF SELF ENTITLED E.P. ON I –TUNES

by Star Wars graphic wizards, Eyestorm Productions

September 9, Los Angeles, CA - Unknown Boy will premiere music video for the single, “Pop” on the Music Plus TV network, and release their self entitled four song E.P. Unknown Boy, on I-TUNES on September 9, 2007.

The video for “Pop” was shot by the production company Eyestorm, George Lucas loyalists, best known for their brilliant work on the Star Wars trilogy. Unknown Boy was chosen as their first music video project because as Will Moyer says, “Unknown Boy’s progressive vision in terms of their musical direction appealed to what we feel we are best at, which is creating another world.”

The video concept finds Unknown Boy captured and processed through a mass marketing machine (literally) which ultimately transforms them into mindless bobble head puppets. Singer Adam Daniels, openly gay front man and artist behind the Unknown Boy project is garnering praise from both mainstream and alternative media, and has all the makings of a Pop icon. Named Rock Alternative Male Singer Songwriter of The Year at the recent 16th Annual L.A. Music Awards, Daniels is forging alliances with the mainstays and newly emerging talents of the music industry.

The E.P., Unknown Boy was recorded with Grammy award winning Producer Kevin Valentine (KISS, Motley Crue, and others) in his Santa Monica studio, Chillsville. The E.P. was mixed by another Grammy winner, Brian Paturalski, (OutKast, Aerosmith, and more) and mastered by Gavin Lurssen (Green Day, Blink 182, and others).

The E.P. contains the singles “Song”, “Pop”, “Plastic Wings” and “Wave”. A dance version of "Pop" remixed by Billboard chart topper Jason Randolph, is currently being spun in clubs around the world, and can be heard on the band’s website, unknownboy.com, nominated as Band Website of the Year by the L.A. Music Awards.

The E.P. has received rave reviews from H Magazine, LA Weekly and Music Connection, and will be available for download on I-TUNES beginning on September 9, 2007. Unknown Boy will be performing live in support of their E.P. as the musical guests for the edgy new buzz sketch comedy show “Fries On The Side” at the SMC Theatre on September 15, 2007 at 8 PM (www.friesontheside.com for ticket information).

“The lead vocals of Adam Daniels contribute a distinctively eccentric signature. If this Boy continues to progress, he’ll remain Unknown no longer.”
