Intercept have announced a September 14th digital release of their new album, Symphony For Somebody Else. Here is the announcement:

Intercept is not just a fitting moniker for the Los Angeles outfit whose sonic landscape meets in the middle of rock and folk-tinged indie-pop. It's also descriptive of a band in the right place at the right time, anticipating the September 14 release of their third full-length album Symphony For Somebody Else.

At a time when artists are enjoying unprecedented access to fans�but having trouble finding a way to turn it into gas money�Intercept is carefully navigating the new market.

"The industry hasn't changed as much as people think," notes frontman Christian Knudsen. "Songs are still the focus. You have to work to develop great material. But you must also match that with finding incredible people to work with and treat them professionally."

With this philosophy, Intercept has cultivated opportunities for themselves with pure hard work and tenacity. Enlisting the likes of producer Erik Ron (Panic At The Disco, VersaEmerge, Foxy Shazam), Capitol Mastering, and the digital distribution arm of Universal, the band has Symphony For Somebody Else as the record of their lives. Drawing from a range of stylistic inspiration, the album's 10 tracks span brooding modern rock and folk-tinged indie-pop, shaped by diverse musical elements.

"It's easier to get heard today," adds lead guitarist Jeff Knudsen, "but that means you have to do more legwork, pounding the pavement. Finding people who believe in your music, following through on every little opportunity, and investing your life in the band � these are the critical things that must be taken seriously."

For Intercept, that approach is working. The band's previous releases (2005's Yellow Dog and 2009's Magnolia Road) have delivered chart-topping singles at college radio, placements in television and live dates throughout the US, building the band a consistently growing fan following.
