Nashville, TN – Birmingham, Alabama’s electrifying rock & soul octet St. Paul & The Broken Bones return on September 9th with their highly-anticipated sophomore album Sea Of Noise. The new album features the heart pounding infusion of old school R&B, soul, funk and rock that St. Paul & The Broken Bones have built their reputation on. Sea Of Noise documents a band going through an artistic evolution, elevating their sound to new heights. Many of the new songs are tied together by a common theme that serves as an overall commentary on society. The music displays new tones and sonic exploration that can be immediately heard in the opening track “Crumbling Light Posts, Pt. 1”, which serves as a three-part recurring premise throughout Sea Of Noise.

Refusing to settle for the status quo, dynamic lead singer/songwriter Paul Janeway and his band-mates challenged themselves throughout the creative process to create an album that is inspiring, heartfelt and fun; as well as intelligent, thoughtful and socially conscious. The rousing “All I Ever Wonder” challenges apathetic nature, the soulful “I’ll Be Your Woman” redefines gender roles, while “Waves” looks at our societal short attention span, and the firey “Burning Rome” conveys the realization that faith should reside within and not within a manmade framework. St. Paul & The Broken Bones have successfully made a soul record with a conscience.

Sea Of Noise is the follow up to their 2013 debut LP Half The City, which received critical acclaim ranging from USA Today to Esquire to Paste, and went on to sell over 115,000 copies. Their explosive, must-see live performances prompted NPR Music to refer to St. Paul & The Broken Bones as “one of the nation’s best live bands”, while the Rolling Stones handpicked them to open two stadium shows. The group made their US TV debut on CBS Saturday Morning and performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with David Letterman and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. In addition to this, the band has wowed audiences at major U.S. festivals, including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Coachella, Outside Lands, Shaky Knees and Hangout, with many more scheduled for this year.

St. Paul & The Broken Bones is: Paul Janeway (vox), Jesse Phillips (bass) Browan Lollar (guitar), Al Gamble (keys) Andrew Lee (drums) Allen Bransetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone) and Jason Mingledorff (sax).
