Bibeau‘s new album self-titled debut arrives on March 23, 2018 via Fade to Silence Records. To herald the release, the band has shared the new song/music video titled "Leeway".
"Leeway" is now available for download/streaming at iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify and all worldwide sites. Special 12 song special CD digipack debut record available 3/23/18 via Alliance/Amped Distribution and AWAL Digital worldwide.
Bibeau mystify listeners with atmospheric melodies over adventurously progressive, powerful dynamics that create an undeniably epic wall of sound that has become the Texans’ trademark.
According to vocalist Drew Theiring, "the lyrical content of "Leeway" comes from an emotional dark spot in someone's life. There's a light in the black emerging throughout the tune and, a festering of issues to the surface. Being lied to or taken advantage of is never pleasant nor is it always intended. There's hope in the fact that life may award you leeway, even if it's just enough to breathe.
The "Leeway" guitar melody line was written by guitarist/songwriter Robin Bibeau, who subsequently framed the song around what started out as a fingerpicking experiment. "I was playing around with some hybrid picking exercises on guitar, and it eventually developed into what would become the intro to "Leeway". It was very organic and the intro was kind of like a seed that sprouted into the rest of the song." added Robin Bibeau
On the day after the album’s release, Bibeau is partnering with Rock Rage Radio and Fade to Silence Records to host a special hometown record release party at Click's Live in Tyler, Texas. The event includes a special listening party, meet and greet/autograph signing and a live concert, which will be hosted by Rock Rage Radio's James Gentry from "Soundcheck with Gentry" and Jess Rock Rage Rage from "The Sideshow". Bibeau are set to return to the road in America again in late Spring.
Last year, Bibeau debuted the video for the track "Mark This". The official music video for which has amassed nearly 200,000 views in a short period of time. “The quintet successfully blends the old and new school metal with a modern, progressive twist." - Brave Words Bloody Knuckles declared. Horror Metal Sounds, adding, “Upon watching the video, I was blown away by how solid and memorable the song was. I was equally impressed that such a well written song obviously inspired by classic prog rock and vintage metal roots could come out of such a young band. Thus Bibeau and their music became engrained into my consciousness – and I've had their single "Mark This", and the striking imagery from the accompanying video, looping endlessly in my head ever since. Music Junkie Press offered this assessment of the track, "the time is now for Bibeau as they breath a fresh new life into the somewhat stale progressive metal scene. It is with their youth and enthusiasm that we can once again enjoy the infectious progressive metal that their musicianship brings to life."
Additional early global feedback on the song from Metal Forces England and deemed them "Bibeau can best be described as a bridge between power metal classic 70s and 80s, combined with the attitude of today's modern progressive metal." This is Bibeau!
