Music - Eisley

Eisley is a quintet featuring three sisters, their brother, and their best friend, Tyler, TX’s Eisley formed in 1997 when the DuPree siblings — guitarist Chauntelle, singer/guitarist Sherri, singer/keyboardist Stacy, and drummer Weston — began playing with bassist Jon Wilson. Originally called the Towheads, the band began playing local gigs the following year, when Stacy was just eight years old. Over the next five years, the band wrote and played, expanding their touring area to the Dallas-Fort Worth region and ultimately winning a 2003 Best New Act Award from the Dallas Observer. A few months later, the group released their debut EP, Laughing City, on the indie imprint Record Collection, and toured that spring and summer with Coldplay and Ron Sexsmith. The Marvelous Things EP arrived later in 2003, and early in 2005, their first full-length, Room Noises, arrived.

Eisley turned in their second album to Warner Brothers on April 7, 2007. On April 23, 2007, the Dallas Morning News announced that the album will be called Combinations. Warner Bros. gave the album a target release date of July 31 with the back-up date of August 7, 2007, but has decided that the album will release on August 14, 2007. The band will also be touring with The Fray from July 10 until July 21, 2007. [8]

The song “Invasion” is slated to be the first single from Combinations and there will be two videos shot. One will be a viral-type and the other will be more for television.
