Casino Madrid

Casino Madrid is the latest band to join the Artery Recordings roster, the joint venture between The Artery Foundation and Razor & Tie. The San Diego band is the ninth addition to the Artery Recordings family. Casino Madrid will enter the studio to record their first full length record this June with producer Will Puntey (Lamb Of God, Suicide Silence, For Today). "His range is crazy," said vocalist Joe Demaio of working with Puntey. "We couldn't be more stoked to work with him." "We couldn't more excited to join the Artery Recordings family," Demaio said. "We felt as a band that this label was the best fit for us, not only because of its reputable name in the industry, but because of the family oriented attitude everyone at Artery presents to their bands." Comprised of Joe Demaio (vocals), Marcelo Sedano (guitar/vocals), Armani Sanchez (guitar), Travis Knutz (bass), Rob Cesena (keys/synth/programming) and Johhny Thunder (drums), Casino Madrid formed in 2007. In 2009, the band released their self-produced EP, For Kings and Queens, which has sold over 20,000 digital tracks. Artery Recordings is the label home to The Artery Foundation and an imprint of independent label Razor & Tie, whose roster now includes Chelsea Grin, Vanna, Bury Tomorrow, Attila, I Declare War, A Bullet For Pretty Boy, Close To Home and The Crimson Armada. A management company since 2004, The Artery Foundation has a knack for finding diamonds in the rough and nurturing them into worldwide prominence. Some of their recent artists flooding the Billboard charts have included Top 40 releases with The Devil Wears Prada and Attack Attack!, Top 100 releases with Alesana and Breath Carolina and additional artists such as Asking Alexandria, Jonny Craig and Dance Gavin Dance. New York-based Razor & Tie Entertainment is one of the fastest growing independent entertainment companies in the United State. In its 20 years, the label has garnered both Platinum sales and Grammy awards, and continues to expand a diverse and acclaimed roster that includes such artists as All That Remains, Norma Jean, Foreigner, Richard Ashcroft, Nicole Atkins, Vanessa Carlton, Dave Stewart, Angelique Kidjo, Dave Barnes, Dweezil Zappa, Dar Williams and The Summer Set.
