Real is an all-original rock band from Philadelphia, PA. Their music has been described as "Classic Rock for a New Generation."
Harmonies are one aspect that sets the band apart from the typical "Rock" band, adding multi part harmonies to each of their songs. Each member shares the spot light as lead singer and contributes to the writing process.
Performing everywhere from New York City to Delaware and all over the Philadelphia area, Real is ready to expand their current reach. To see them perform is to witness honest emotion painted with a careless brush on a live canvas.
Following the success of Real's first two CDs "Until Your Home Again," and “ I Blame You” (released on Little Devil Records in 2001 and 2004 respectively), the band debuted their latest CD “13” earlier this year. “13” is yet another example of Real's journey along the path of artistry and life - which is sure to please listeners of any age.
Biography
Nestled quietly in an obscure South Philadelphia neighborhood, a rumble has begun. Four friends, united by a desire to grow musically and ultimately become greater than the sum of their parts, have completed a self-produced CD, "13". Although "self-production" may sound simple given the bedroom studio digital age we live in, this CD marks Real's continuing journey in artistic expression, backed by a full production deal out of Fifth Stone Studios.
While Real's signature sound is their tasteful use of harmonies, which grabs the emotions of the listener and holds on tight until the end, they also distinguish themselves from other bands by each member being a contributing song writer and singer. "13" boasts songs where, regardless of the author, each member takes their turn at delivering powerful performances, giving the listener an eclectic taste of the band's talent. Real sacrifices individual notoriety for the sole purpose of producing another excitable and energetic snapshot of what Real is all about: friends guided by their music, creating a diverse blend of melodies.
At a live show there is only the desire to have a great time and leave everything they've got on that stage. It is this honesty in music and performance that gains new fans at each show. The intimacy of their live show often spurs fan participation and interaction with the band. Real's live performance is a party that everyone is invited to, where no secrets are withheld; a night that leaves you smiling for days afterward with that little nagging feeling that you may have just done something wrong.
