Destine

说他们是新晋乐队也不为过,虽然在06年发过一张EP,但是成绩一般.曲风跟Fall Out Boy, Simple Plan and Paramore颇为相似,四首单曲都非常不错.07年之后做过不少暖场,因此后两年在美国和欧洲等地逐渐收拢了一批粉丝.
Destine is Holland’s response to bands such as Paramore, Fall Out Boy and All Time Low. With its distinctive American sound, it seems like only a matter of time before Destine becomes an established name. The debut album ‘Lightspeed’ was released in the Netherlands in February 2010 and was an instant success. The album and singles reached the charts, had lots of radio airplay and the band played the country’s most well known festivals Lowlands and Pinkpop. In November 2010 the album was released in thirteen other European countries. The single ‘Stars’ is on the playlist of all of Holland’s biggest radio stations for over 9 months. Radio station 538 also acknowledges the band’s potential by picking ‘Stars’ as radio smash hit of the week in September 2009. The band’s first two music videos, both recorded in San Francisco, are Youtube-smashers with both more than a million views; ' Stars' has also been nominated for 'Video of the Year' at the Dutch MTV-channel. All this attention translates to the ticket sales for their first headlining tour in early 2010, with 12 sold out shows. Back in time. Destine kicks off in 2007 with the ambition to play and work their asses of. They release their first EP and play over 200 shows in 3 years, both domestic and abroad. Besides that they invest a lot of time in their online activities on social and digital media, underlining the direct interaction with their fans. In December 2008 Destine signs with record label Sony Music and travels to Orlando, Florida to record the debut album with producer James Paul Wisner, who worked with bands like Paramore and New Found Glory. He is impressed by the songs and is convinced that the band has the potential of achieving international success. Aside from their domestic shows, the band has a wider focus. They've toured in more than 15 different European countries, played with bands like Green Day, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, All Time Low and New Found Glory and have done two full European tours with The Blackout (UK) and Attack! Attack! (UK). When the song ‘In Your Arms’ got featured in the popular computergame ‘Pro Evolution Soccer 2011’ the response from people all over the world increased rapidly. Summer 2011 the band embarks on a tour in China and Japan, with bands such as Mayday Parade. Followed with a spot on Czech Republic’s biggest festival Rock For People. In 2011 the new singlse ‘Stay’ and 'Thousand Miles' get released, produced and mixed by James Paul Wisner and David Bendeth (Paramore, Papa Roach, All Time Low). 'Stay' gets chosen as powerplay song of the week on the biggest Dutch radio station 538.
