Abandon has signed a record deal with Forefront Records. The band released its debut self-titled five-song EP July 22. The five-song EP is a preview to the band's full-length release scheduled for an early 2009 release. With a sound that has been likened to U2 and The Killers, Abandon comprises brothers Josh Engler (vocals) and Justin Engler (rhythm guitars), cousins Dave Vela (drums) and Stevan Vela (lead guitar) as well as Bryan Fowler (bass). They formed as part of their church's worship band, eventually moving on to play local shows.
"We are extremely excited to be a part of the Forefront family. We know we are in good hands and are humbled by the opportunity. Also, we cannot wait for everyone to hear what we've been working on for the past year. It's an exciting time for us," says frontman Josh Engler.
