In 2011, an escalating rock band will have released a new album
called Casino Heart, opened for Blink 182 and My Chemical
Romance, and been reviewed in numerous magazines. They will have
found a home on major Midwest radio stations and put on a benefit
concert called Rock-It-To-A-Cure to raise funds for JDRF
(Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). This band is
Réaul, out of Indianapolis, and is made up of Rick
Connell (vocals), Nate Metzler (drums), Michael Neeley (bass), and
Dave Kriebel (guitar).
Réaul is turning heads and attracting press with their latest
five song album, Casino Heart.The tracks found on Casino
Heart are best defined as intelligent pop rock. Lyrics are
deep and often engage metaphors in unique ways to describe
relationships and life. Catchy hooks and strong melodies paired
with complementing instrumentation will keep this album playing
over and over again. Front man Rick Connell explains, "We literally
spent over a year of literal blood, sweat, and tears writing and
recording our new album and there is a lot of anticipation from us
and our fans for this release." Casino Heart was released
May 24, 2011 and can be found on iTunes and Amazon.
JDRF became a strong passion for Réaul through the family of one
of Nate Metzler's drum students named Ian McCollum. Ian happened to
be living as a Type-I Diabetic. His family took the time over a
dinner to help Réaul understand the struggles Ian faces. This
pivotal moment was the start of Réaul's support of JDRF. Together
they planned an annual JDRF benefit event in Indianapolis called
Rock-It-To-A-Cure. In 2011, this event takes place on
November 5th at the Old National Centre's Egyptian Room in
Indianapolis.
2011 is only the beginning of what is to come for this
exceptional band out of Indianapolis. Réaul has begun their next
music project and is preparing for two Rock-It-To-A-Cure
events in 2012. Follow this band on social media and their website
to find out what they are doing next to produce new great music and
support JDRF.
