squint’s new record, was produced by Ed Stasium in Los Angeles. Ed is a legend; the man responsible for recording The Ramones, Soul Asylum, Mick Jagger, Rev. Horton Heat, Smithereens, this list goes on and on. The record, mastered by Gene Grimaldi (Korn, Johnny Cash, etc), is generating a lot of positive feedback. This album earned them a nomination for a 2003 American Music Award even before it was released. At college radio, it was the #12 most added record according to CMJ’s Top 20 Adds and entered the CMJ Top 200 in 2004. At commercial radio, Tinsel Life immediately charted on the Top 20 Specialty Radio chart. squint is also featured on Touchtunes Jukeboxes, DMX Radio, and XM Satellite Radio.

Squint is sponsored by Jagermeister (and we can work on putting together a Jager promo for any night they are booked). Songs off squint’s new record have been featured on MTV’s Road Rules last season and on The Real World this season, and squint’s live show has generated so much buzz that it will be featured on the national television program True Music, which will be released as a DVD featuring Tantric, squint and Matchbox 20 in 2004. squint’s unique live show also attracted the attention of microphone stand manufacture, Atlas. Atlas joined forces with squint in 2004 – making squint the first artist in history to have a microphone stand endorsement. Squint is also proudly sponsored by AKG Microphones.

The last four years have put squint performing almost 150 shows a year; gracing the stage with bands like The Goo Goo Dolls, Alter Bridge, Drowning Pool, The Toadies and more. Squint has also donated over 10 thousand dollars to Parkinson disease research through their annual charity festival, Squintfest. These accomplishments, and their hard work and solid song writing, earned squint the ASCAP Plus Award in 2003 and again in 2004.
