New Method Rocked At Universal Studios
Orlando Tour Stop Supported the Band’s new album "Old School"
Jan 5, 2009
New Method, the pop-rock quartet out of Ohio, shared a stage with the musical powerhouses such as Switchfoot, Relient K, and Jars of Clay at Rock the Universe at Universal Studios on September 5, 2008.
Rock the Universe is an annual Christian music rock fest that features dozens of the most persuasive, intelligent and cutting-edge musicians in the country.
New Method performed on the Boneyard Stage.
Summer 2008 Tour
The band was fresh from the heels of its summer tour to support of the group’s album, “Old School,” and continued to tour regularly to promote its second, nationally-released single, “A Safe Distance.”
New Method has been called fresh, inspiring and innovative; their music has encouraged thousands of people for the last half decade. On the verge of becoming one of the next great mainstream-scene pop-rock bands, New Method’s appearance at Rock the Universe was testament to the quality of the band’s shows.
Thousands of people have been entertained at each of New Method’s shows. The Columbus, Ohio band founded the tour known as the Faith and Family Night Tour. Faith and Family Night has taken New Method across the country several times where the band has performed at events such as Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers basketball, Los Angeles Galaxy soccer, the Dallas Stars hockey and more than 50 other professional sporting venues.
National Release and First Music Video
The band also celebrated the recent national release of its previously released debut, self-titled album that is now available nationally in Lifeway stores and Family Christian Bookstores.
Also while in Florida for the concert, New Method filmed its first music video for the song “A Safe Distance.”
“This an extremely exciting and positive time for the band,” band founder Doug Meacham said. "Musically, the new album, “Old School,” took us to a new level and the dividends of our work and patience are beginning to pay off.
“It’s taken a few years to get to this point professionally, but it’s been wonderful playing for the thousands of people that have supported us since the beginning,” Meacham said. “Playing Rock the Universe is another great blessing we’ve received and an opportunity to meet and make some new fans.”
