Frontier Ruckus w/Theodore INDIE / FOLK / BLUEGRASSMatthew Milia is fleeing the city of Detroit for a mysterious place called Orion Town.
Not entirely fictional, the municipality of Orion, MI (pronounced 'OR-ee-un', not 'oh-RY-un') does exist just beyond the fingertips of the city's sprawl, but the more specific "Orion Town" is a creation woven together in Milia's own loquacious melodies. In his words, it is a place of "overwhelming memory, young sexuality, guilt, and the slow disintegration of home and family".
Alongside Milia a cast of players have come together to give life to this unique locale. To make this happen requires, without a doubt, quite a joyful noise. Whether it is due to the swelling saw and trumpet of Zachary Nichols, the stern percussion of Ryan Etzcorn, the soulful harmonies of Anna Burch, or the spidery banjo of David Jones, The Orion Songbook is a telling cacophony of sound which carries with it a sense of unmistakable immediacy and signals the arrival of a band who carry with them a name that speaks to a demand for greater spaces.... Frontier Ruckus.
A natural follow-up and extension of the band's first EP I Am The Water You Are Pumping (2007), the album was mastered by Roger Seibel (Modest Mouse, Decemberists, Elliott Smith, Built to Spill) and recorded/mixed by Michigan's own Jim Roll (his albums: McSweeney's, New West, recorded/mixed: Breathe Owl Breathe, Chris Bathgate) to help draw the beauty out of 14 hair-rising songs about the dark stretches of thought within relationships and frightening realizations about one's home.
2007 Best Folk Artist - Real Detroit Weekly
"...this is the best band you haven't heard and Milia is the most impressive wordsmith I've listened to in a really long time. I'm not sure If I can recall a voice as untreated and honest as Milia's ... ever. His is a voice whose timbre carries as much meaning as the words that come through it." - Real Detroit Weekly

Theodore, das sind vier junge Studenten: Fabian Theodore (Gesang), Samuel Theodore (Gitarre), Martin Theodore (Bass) und David Theodore (Drums). Die Vier haben sich seit Oktober 2007 in dieser Besetzung zusammengefunden und ihr Anliegen ist es Musik direkt aus dem Herzen für die Herzen zu machen. Musikalisch bewegen sie sich dabei in einer Mischung aus Punk-, Emo- und Hardcore- Elementen zuzüglich einer Brise Optimismus, Hoffnung und Glauben. Das Ergebnis dieses Mix ist HeartCore.More about Redstone Room
