The Myriad (NASHVILLE, TENN) October 22, 2007 – MTV2 has announced Kosmos Records/KOCH’s Seattle based band The Myriad as a top contender for the title of “MTV2 Dew Circuit Breakout.” During the month of September the network asked bands across the country to sign up for a shot at an MTV2 presence. MTV2's expert music and talent panel hand-selected The Myriad out of over 4000 bands in the US to be 1 of the 12 finalists.

Drawing rave reviews from both fans and critics worldwide, The Myriad’s music covers a diverse panorama, evoking comparisons to The Verve, Radiohead and The Who. In their quick emergence, the band has already performed with Blindside, Mute Math and The Beautiful Mistake. The Myriad's first full length record, "You Can't Trust a Ladder" was featured as a Staff Favorite on iTunes (alongside the White Stripes and the Foo Fighters) and MTV has used some songs off the record for the Real World Denver show.

With three eliminations leading up to the Live Finale, where 2007's victor will be crowned, MTV2 has opened the online voting polls where the public will determine the winner. Myriad fans can vote as many times as they want throughout the competition from now until November 20 at http://dewcircuitbreakout.mtv2.com/artist/default.aspx?artist=200

The Top 6 Finalists get a visit from MTV crews in their hometown and filmed in action for segments on air! The Top 3 Finalists that make the cut will be flown to New York City to perform during the Dew Circuit Breakout Finale, LIVE from Times Square, where the grad prize winner will be announced. The winning band will be thrown back on stage to star in their very first MTV music video for rotation on-air with exposure on MTV and MTV2, including being strongly considered for MTV's Artist Of The Week. In addition, they'll grab some air time on Discover & Download and Unleashed, where the latest, most anticipated, most cutting-edge work from the biggest players in rock and hip hop premiere on MTV2. Past winners of the competition include: Taking Back Sunday, Yellowcard, Hellogoodbye, Halifax and Thursday.

Backed by a new label and armed with a hotly-anticipated new record, 2008 promises to be a landmark year for The Myriad. In addition to their recent MTV success, the band released a special limited edition EP on October 9, 2007. The six-song EP on Kosmos Records/KOCH bridges the gap between the bands 2005's critically acclaimed You Can't Trust a Ladder and next year's highly-anticipated With Arrows, With Poise.

The Myriad’s highly-anticipated 2008 project, With Arrows, With Poise, was recently mixed at Hansa Studios in Berlin, Germany by Michael Ilbert (The Cardigans, Kent, The Hives) and mastered at historic Abbey Road Studios in London, England by Adam Nunn (Air, Radiohead, Franz Ferdinand, George Martin, Mogwai). Kosmos Records, a division of KOCH Entertainment--the largest independent distributor of music in the world will release With Arrows, With Poise on March 4, 2008.

Currently on a sold-out national tour with The David Crowder Band, The Myriad is made up of Jeremy Edwardson, John Roger Schofield, Steven Tracy, Jonathan Young and Randy Miller
