Artist History Playing a fresh blend of pop/punk sounds and timeless hooks, As Advertised is one of Iowa’s finest young talents. Hailing from the small town of Jesup, the band that first started in the basement is now bringing their songs to the masses. The band is currently busy promoting its brand new album: "Let's Just Be Friends". Released in the spring of 2001, this album is an excellent collection of this band's talent. Be sure to check it out now, as you will be hearing about from your friends later.

Press Reviews "Peppy teen rock with plenty of pop hooks, melancholy melodies, and polite punk bite. As Advertised don't shy away from mixing a little jangle in with their harder sounds, in the end coming up with a home-brewed, commercial sound" -listen.com "Punk bands with melody are huge these days, and As Advertised play that style as good if not better than most. Fast guitars, driving drums, and fantastically sung vocals make this band, and with their emotionally leaning lyrics, this stuff should have a wide audience. One hell of an emotional punk album that sure beats the hell out of anything the kids are listening to on the radio these days. The band has shown they can take a relatively tired style of music and put something new and original into it, and that goes a long way. Keep an eye out for these guys." -Jeff Marsh/Delusions of Adequacy-www.adequacy.net "This stuff is really good." -Kristin Castillo/Miss Illinois 2001
