STORY:

DEDICATED to is a small-town band on its way to big-time glory.

Four guys from Dra?markt in Burgenland, a village with just about 1,000 inhabitants...... 3000 pigs, 10,000 chickens, 1 soccer field, 1 marching band and 2 pubs.
In this small village one can either live and die or start a band. DEDICATED to chose the latter.
The band joined together as DEDICATED to in 2001 and was first recognizes as a rising sensation when, as a fledgling 2-month-old band, it won the "America is Waiting" newcomer-band contest.
Since then, DEDICATED to has finessed its style and technique, shunning conventional music genres to merge punk rock with ska and crossover to create its own distinctive sound. Evocative and revolutionary lyrics and soulful flares of trumpet especially distinguish DEDICATED to?s music.
These rocking characteristics are what helped DEDICATED to to place second out of 300 bands from Austria and Slovenia at the Aerodrome On Stage Tour in April 2005. The band?s hit song "Take me back" can now be heared on the Aerodrome 2005 sampler CD, along with tracks by Rammstein, Slipknot and Paradise Lost, which appeared at the 2005 show.
In 2006 DEDICATED to provided their version of "Finding you" for a TV- and radiospot which made them well-known throughout Austria and Germany. Furthermore, they represented Austria on MIDEM, the world?s biggest music trade show, and won the Theodor Kery F?rderungspreis.
DEDICATED to has released two albums, 2 Hard Hours (2002) and Maybe Sick and In Vain (2003) and was on several samplers (WUK, America is waiting,...). In November 2005 the band has released its third album, PIXTON BOY IN TROUBLE, in January their single FINDING YOU followed and their videos (Mickey Mike, Finding You, K.O.S.) and interviews where aired on GOTV.
In fall 2007 DEDICATED to release their brand new album "PIXTON UNICORN": 15 songs full of fat riffs, great melodies and truly magical lyrics. Then DEDICATED to tour Europe to unveil its new album.
