About

Charmparticles are back and have triumphantly delivered their first full-length album, Alive in the Hot Spell.

An exquisite hour of swirling, dreamlike melodies and hooks, Alive in the Hot Spell retains familiar Charmparticles elements -- Pamela Rooney's haunting vocals, Sarah FitzGerald's shimmering guitar work and Nathanael Merrill's gigantic drums -- but the album's 12 tracks contain several surprises from the band mostly known for its shoegaze roots.

Songs range from spare ballads to bombastic, angry rockers -- with a healthy dose of catchy, pretty pop songs in between.

With Alive in the Hot Spell, Charmparticles manage several new feats--and they sound more than ever like the band they were meant to be.

Balm, Sep 8, 2008:

As many of you already know, on October 19, Balm will open up for "the Boss" at the House of Blues in Chicago! (7:30 PM)
Reaction has been quite enthusiastic to say the least. However the House of Blues is a rather small venue and I want my special friends in the area to be there. So here is the deal: I have reserved 50 free tickets for Zunist! That's right!
All you have to do is to show up with your Zune, show it to the bouncers and say, "I'm a friend of Steve's!" They will usher you to several mid-section tables, all expenses paid (peanuts, chips, sodas, fajitas ... all pre-paid). Be sure to show early on the day of the show, because when the 50 are gone that's it!
Bruce said, "please open up with So Far Away From Home!"

We are gonna' rock the house baby!
