03/04/09 SETTLE TO RELEASE AT HOME WE ARE TOURISTS ON MAY 19
Epitaph Expands Sound with Brilliant Indie Rock Debut
Settle will release their smart, attention-grabbing debut At Home We Are Tourists on May 19th via Epitaph Records. Produced by Adam Lasus (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Army Navy, Yo La Tengo) and mixed by Ken Andrews (Jimmy Eat World, Pete Yorn, BRMC), the Easton PA quartet's first full-length album is a pop dreamscape that deftly combines indie and dance rock that is alternately ironic and biting and deeply emotional and deliberative.
Citing influences from Elvis Costello to the Liars and inspiration from art to social networking sites, Settle's At Home We Are Tourists illustrates both the outlandish collection of pop culture that moves the band and an unusual ability to craft a remarkably accomplished first record.Five years of writing, revising and discarding allowed the band to amass 12 songs that range from fuzzed-out rockers to indie gems to synth-driven fetes that flow seamlessly one into the other to form a perfectly cohesive whole.
Standout tracks like the evocative "On the Prowl," the guitar-driven homage to the band's roots "Affinity For My Hometown," "ISO: 40yr M W/Kids Seeks 26yr F WO/Kids," and the exuberant "I Saw An Inferno Once" create one of the most interesting, unique and unforgettable debuts in recent memory.
Stay tuned for touring information and updates.

1. Grand Marshall's Mooncloth Robes
2. Naked At A Family Function

01/27/09 SETTLE SIGN WITH EPITAPH
East Coast Quartet Heads into the Studio with Indie Hero Adam Lasus
Settle - four extremely talented individuals from Pennsylvania who play indie rock, have great personal style and even better record collections – have signed with Epitaph Records. The band is currently recording with Adam Lasus, best known for his work with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Yo La Tengo.
Versatile and prolific, the band’s favorites range from the Liars to Questlove, though the fellas say they are influenced more by the news and video games and Facebook than anything else. They have penned nearly 100 songs and sold 20,000 copies collectively of two self-released EPs. And while the songs range from soulful laments to skillfully crafted pop to ironic indie rock, the common thread running through the music is that Settle writes unbelievably catchy songs.
Hailing from the wintry wilds of eastern PA, brothers Nick and Willie Rose (vox/guitars and drums respectively) formed Settle in 2001. The usual turmoil ensued as members came and went until the band finally solidified with the addition of Dave Goletz (guitar) a few years later and most recently Chris Burcin (bass).
In 2006, the band won an MTV-sponsored contest, "Best Music on Campus." Trading their anoraks for flip flops, Settle performed at MTV’s Spring Break extravaganza in Cancun Mexico. While the bikini-clad girls and muscle-bound guys might not have been Settle’s usual crowd, who tend more towards New Balance and vintage tees, the contest served to pair the band with Epitaph, and, more importantly, 1 fan and label president Brett Gurewitz.
"Settle has everything I admire in a great band: poetry, tunefulness, originality and vision, all pursued recklessly, as if the whole thing might fall apart at any second…and you can dance to it," says Gurewitz.
Look for Settle’s debut full-length early next year on Epitaph.

2009 About Settle.
Basically, it goes like this…
We started in 2001, we’ve been through a lot of line-up changes and we get bored with things easily. A lot of people say we’re quiet. This is true.
The history to Settle is blurry, like the history to most things is blurry. People came, people played, and people left. We like to leave it at that. The current lineup consists of Nick Rose, Dave Goletz, Willie Rose and Chris Burcin. Nick sings and plays guitar because he’s the oldest. Dave plays guitar because he can’t do anything else, Willie plays the drums because he’s good, and Chris plays the bass because Settle needed a bass player. That’s the story.
