Self Made Soul

In just a little less than a year, Self Made Soul has kids all across the North East and beyond taking notice of their unique approach to Alt Rock and Post-Hardcore with their last release, "The Future Belongs to Us". The press were also quick to take note and in early 2009, Alternative Press Magazine named them one of the top unsigned bands of the month. Later, with the strong support of their hard-earned fans, they'd win AP Magazine's contest to play Van's Warped Tour 2009.

With the release of their latest EP, "The Demon Haunted World", Self Made Soul takes it up a few notches heavier with even more energetic verses, epic choruses and bone-crushing breakdowns, all of which are delivered with raw, real, honest emotion. Angelika's screams seem to spit fire from her heart as Alex counters with haunting melodies that are projected with a room-filling resonance. Randy and Matt channel the intricate rhythms, genre-bending guitar riffs and ghostly ambient textures with precision through the band's chaotic time signatures and tempo changes.

The coming year will be a big one for the band as they exit the studio with Paul Leavitt (All Time Low, I Am Ghost, Gwen Stacy, Conditions) and prepare for an even more ruthless touring schedule.

May 24, 2010 Self Made Soul announced their name change to Brighter Than A Thousand Suns through a Myspace blog. The blog also announced they will re-release "The Demon Haunted World," and it will be remixed by Jeff Schneeweis (Hawthorne Heights, Secret and Whisper, Number One Gun.)
