Already deemed by Alternative Press as “One of The Bands You Need To Know in 2010” Abandon Kansas is making their presence known and helping to create change through music.

“As far as long term goals, none of us have any desire to be rich and famous. If we can keep connecting with people through music then we'll be content. There are way too many bands out there already so we're trying to make what we do a little bigger than music.” – states Jeremy Spring, vocalist for Abandon Kansas.

And deliver something larger than just music is exactly what they do on their debut EP release from Gotee Records, We're All Going Somewhere out now. With fearless hearts, ingenious songwriting, and poignant wit, Spring and company shine.

Looking for ways to reach out and give back beyond their music a few band members recently embarked on a journey with Compassion International - www.compassion.com.

“If you know our band at all then you know we've been working close with Compassion International the last two years. We're visiting the Compassion projects in Ecuador so we can see what Compassion is all about first hand. Brian sponsors a boy named Darwin who is from Ecuador and we're going to have the chance to meet him” – explains Spring

The band has posted video updates from Ecuador on their youtube page, check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtZRGcpYFSA

This is indie pop/rock that will surprise you with its candor and cause you to contemplate the deepest recesses of your heart with every listen to the We're All Going Somewhere EP. Consider the track “The Harder They Fall,” for starters. If Abandon Kansas were just simply seeking to ingrain a melody in your head while simultaneously appeasing the music elitist in you, this song would more than achieve their goals. A bed of tasteful, yet compelling instrumentation snaps you to attention, as you say to yourself these boys can play. Then, Spring's vocal turns attention to attraction with obvious charisma and charm.

An exhaustive touring schedule and work ethic has built a steady, resolute following. The band played over 300 shows in 2009 and will embark on non-stop touring through out 2010. One heart at a time, one city at a time, day after day the band plans to bring their music and their message to the masses.
