SHEFFIELD’S UBERBYTE PREPARES ‘FIVE YEAR PLAN’
Late Summer Album Release Set To Expand Horizons of EBM Mainstays
dPulse Recordings and Ovrtone Music Group are pleased to announce the forthcoming release of Five Year Plan, the new studio album from Sheffield-based Uberbyte.
Debuting in 2007 as a side project of Killing Miranda’s Richard Pyne, Uberbyte has long known as among the UK EBM/Industrial and Hardcore vanguard. On the strength of multiple releases on the esteemed CrunchPod label, Uberbyte successfully toured the UK with notables such as Combichrist, and in the USA with Nachtmahr.
Building on that foundation, Uberbyte now joins dPulse’s Industrial-tinged label-mates Lords Of Acid, Contagion, and Stephen Mallinder (Cabaret Voltaire), and scores of like-minded electronic and rock artists for the Summer 2012 release of Five Year Plan, the follow-up to the 2011 CrunchPod release NFY.
Capitalizing on the band’s already-strong presence with their core audience, Five Year Plan further expands the trademark Uberbyte Industrial/Hardcore calling card by deftly incorporating a broader connection to the electronica community at large.
With ambitious release and touring plans currently in the making, Five Year Plan promises to propel Uberbyte to new heights, while definitively marking their own musical territory.
The first single ‘We Like The Bass’, featuring remixes from worthy compatriots (TBA), will be released on digital and CD/EP formats in advance of Five Year Plan.
The album is anticipated for an August 2012 release.
