Biography

The Band
Award winning alternative-rock artist 34Below will energize you with their new album. An irresistible mix of pop and rock, 34Below's music defies definition yet appeals to the mainstream. "We live for our music," says James who, along with Ybarra, co-writes the majority of the band's material. Whether theyre in front of 20,000 people or 2 people they pull you in with their intimate rock show.

Who they are is four high school friends from San Diego, that have made a substantial impact with their unique brand of carefully stylized, melodic music and thought provoking songs. 34Below has been able to capture that energy on Masses Collide, which rocks with fifteen live unplugged tracks. Compared to the likes of Matchbox Twenty for their catchy melodic songs, or Queen for the strong vocals and lead presence, their influences range from Led Zeppelin to The Beatles, and from U2 to Mott The Hoople.

The Album : "Masses Collide"
Masses Collide comes hot on the heels of their very successful live unplugged album. This is their first studio album since Is It You, which spawned four singles and gained them radio airplay across the country. 34Below wanted to throw down the tracks quickly so they recruited veteran producer Michael Blue to capture the essence of the songs. Finishing touches came from Mark Chalecki, at Capitol Records, where the album was mastered to its current energetic state.
