Meadowlands, NJ - March 3, 2017 - Four-piece alternative rock band Wyland has officially released their new Snake HillEP today! This highly anticipated EP was produced by Pat Noon, known for his work with Brick + Mortar, The Front Bottoms, and River City Extension. Snake Hill is now available for purchase via iTunes and streaming via idobi Radio and Spotify.

Wyland is made up of Ryan Sloan (vocals/guitar/piano), Mauricio Salazar (guitar), Zach Calidonna (bass) and Chris Luna (drums). Their sound, which has elements of atmospheric rock and indie singer-songwriter influence, has received praise for being "Coldplay-esque" and "intense and tasteful melodic rock [that] will resonate with the most endearing Lumineer fan." CMJ said, "Wyland has an instantly digestible sound".

In 2015, the band released a couple demos which eventually led them to appear alongside bands like Mumford & Sons, Alabama Shakes, and the Vaccines, to name a few. Their latest EP, In a Sea of Things Unsaid, which was released at the beginning of 2016, was received as "one of the strongest releases from a New Jersey band in 2016" by NJ.com. The album was also praised as one of the best of 2016 by publications like Clash Magazine and NKD Magazine.

"Without You", the first single from In a Sea of Things Unsaid, went viral in the first month of its release with over 150k streams on Spotify. The song was also chosen as the grand prize winner in theJohn Lennon Songwriting Contest, for which the band received over 8k dollars in prizes and an opportunity to record a song live on the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus.

With excitement towards the release of Wyland's EP, they explain, "'Snake Hill is a group of songs inspired by travel. We began writing it while touring down to SXSW in Austin, TX and didn't finish it until the summer while touring in California"

Wyland has officially released their new Snake Hill EP today, March 3rd, 2017.
