Fearless Records has signed Eye Alaska. You can read a message from the band below.

Signing to an independent record label has been a dream for bandmates Brandon and Cameron since they started playing together at age 13.  “We are excited to join the Fearless family.  We have been following Fearless Records and their artists for a while.  We are excited to be part of a label so close to home,” says Cameron.

“We are proud of Yellow & Elephant. We have put a lot of hardwork into this EP and are eager for our fans to listen.  We have spent 6-8 hours a day working on tracks that are innovative and musically exciting.  This album is best described by its title, Yellow (Pop and Jazz) and Elephant (Big Cinematic Beats),” says Brandon.
