OLEANDER TO RELEASE "CHAMPION"
ALL PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT SEPTEMBER 11 FUND
New York, NY - Republic/Universal band Oleander will be releasing their commercial
single, "Champion," on October 16, 2001. Oleander and the label will
donate all profits from the sale of the record to the September 11th Fund.
Says Oleander: "Who can stand by and do nothing when so many are in need? We're incredibly fortunate to be able to make this contribution to the healing process. It is our sincere hope that this song can bring a measurable amount of comfort to those affected so greatly by this tragedy."
"It's important for us as a company to be involved," added Universal Records President Monte Lipman. "Like many Americans, our staff was profoundly affected by this tragedy. The donation of proceeds from Oleander's upcoming single allows the Universal family to continue to reach out and do its part. It also allows us to recognize the bravery and selflessness shown by our police and fire rescue departments, which continues to be inspirational to us all."
"Champion" is from Oleander's current album, Unwind. Unwind is Oleander's second album and the follow up to their 1999 RIAA Gold certified debut, February Son. Oleander is: Thomas Flowers (vocals, guitar), Doug Eldridge (bass), Ric Ivanisevich (guitar) and Scott Devours (drums).
