El Camino Media is the new venture of Matt Messer. Prior to launching the company, Messer spent nearly two decades working in A&R at EMI Music Publishing, where he signed artists like Augustana, Avenged Sevenfold, and Blink 182. It was also during his tenure at EMI that he played a significant role in the formation of Digital Daggers – members Andrea Wasse and Space were both writers with the publisher, and it was at Messer’s suggestion that the two connected for a writing session. They worked so well together that they decided to take their relationship beyond just songwriting, and Digital Daggers was born.
The band’s new album and first release under El Camino, “Close Your Eyes,” is set to drop on 06/11/13. Until then, enjoy the official lyric video for the album’s lead single, “Out of My Head,” below!
