About Reverb

Reverb provides turnkey greening programs for artists' tours while conducting grassroots outreach and education with music fans everywhere. Reverb's greening program is generously funded with tour proceeds.
About Paramore
Paramore's acclaimed third album, brand new eyes, features two Top 10 Modern Rock hits, "Ignorance" and "Brick By Boring Brick." The collection, which was recently certified gold, was among 2009's biggest popular and critical successes, debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200 and coming in as the "Album of the Year" in Alternative Press' "Readers Poll '09," as well as the #2 favorite on the magazine's own "Best Albums of 2009" tally. The New York Times' Jon Caramanica placed brand new eyes on his 2009 Top 10, praising it for "choruses (that) roll up like tidal waves." SPIN magazine counted brand new eyes among its "40 Best Albums of 2009," noting that Paramore have "entered the rarified world of rock that matters." Further honors keep piling up, including a second Grammy nomination as well as wins for "Favorite Rock Band" at the 2010 People's Choice Awards and "Best International Band" at the NME Awards.
About Tegan and Sara
Over the course of six albums and tours that have encircled the globe countless times, Tegan and Sara have become one of the most critically praised and fan-beloved forces in modern pop/rock music. Their current album, Sainthood, as well as their previous two albums, The Con (2007) and So Jealous (2004), have attracted an ever-growing, highly dedicated base of fans who have taken their songs deeply to heart. The press has also responded with similar affection: "The main attraction has always been the emotional virtue of Tegan and Sara's songs," said SPIN magazine. Outburn Magazine enthused: "Indie pop/rock perfection." Alternative Press simply concurred: "Impressively skillful." By the time The White Stripes had covered and released their version of the T&S classic "Walking With A Ghost," in 2005, they had already toured with the likes of Neil Young, The Killers, The Pretenders, Ryan Adams, and Death Cab For Cutie. Late night television appearances on Letterman, Leno, Conan, Kimmel and Ferguson brought their songs to an even greater cultural awareness. Meanwhile Sainthood, just as each of its predecessors, was placed on several "Best of 2009" critics and readers polls as diverse as Alternative Press, AOL, SPIN, Rolling Stone, Blurt Magazine, New York Daily News, New York Newsday, Outburn, Stereogum and many others.
