Added Color is a Brazilian-American rock band from Brooklyn, New York, with a message of empowerment and the muscle to bring the message home. From their first EP in 2017 (Psycho) to their most recent (if you had it all), Added Color have stashed their heavy and urgent themes (personal, political, and more) within diverse music (hard rock, funk, alt, world) thats instantly appealing yet increasingly involving each and every time its heard. The band thrives in the recording studio: the second of the three EPs, Mr. Industry, (2018) and if you had it all were recorded at Gojiras Silver Cord Studios by Johann Meyer (Gojira/Roadrunner Records) and Jamie Uertz (Blind Melon). But the studio is a place for Added Color to find the truest sound of each song rather than to smother the music and lyrics with gimmicks. There are no effects without causes for these songs, and the only originality they look for is truth to mean what they play. Dan and Kiko Freiberg, two brothers from Brazil, met with Americans Danny Dahan and Tim Haggerty in 2014, and explored various genres and styles together before focusing on their present profile. Theyve received high praise throughout their collaboration from such media outlets as PureVolume, Red Bull Music, The Huffington Post, AOL Noisecreep, and The Village Voice. Pancakes and Whiskey debuted the title single off the Psycho EP stating If youre ready to hear the best rock track of the year, thus far, then youve come to the right place. This same authenticity found in the recording studio blazes in their dynamic live shows, whether in the most D.I.Y. venues of underground New York, on tour, or on the largest festival stages. They have performed live on major tours throughout the U.S., Canada, and beyond. Added Color have toured Morocco four times with multiple dates each time, and in the Freibergs native Brazil have played many shows, including some at the largest venues (e.g. the Poro do Rock, host of headliners such as Muse and others). The Monsters of Rock Festival officially nominated them as one of the top five upcoming Brazilian rock bands. Added Colors earful lands big with all audiences in every venue: Respect each other; be yourself; define yourself. Thats what they do, and thats what their music does for the audience.
