Veteran Rocker Mark Davison, Lead Singer/Songwriter Of Nuke The Soup, Offers The Perfect Solution to Being 'Filled With Dread' On His New Band's Debut Album: 'Make Waves Not War'

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Luck Media & Marketing) - Every day in the paper or on CNN, there's another gloom and doom story about declining home values, disappearing jobs, corporate bailouts, terrorism, political extremism, you name it.

The big question is, are you 'Filled With Dread'?

Maryland based veteran pop/rocker Mark Davison isn't-mostly because that's the name of the first single from his hot new indie band Nuke the Soup, and it's already making a big splash on the radio charts.

The feel good, summery ska-fired song was the fourth most added track on FMQB's Triple A chart its first week out of the box. It's a high energy intro to the exciting and eclectic mix of clever pop/rock tunes on Nuke the Soup's debut album on Meteor Records whose title offers up the perfect surfing inspired solution for our crazy times: Make Waves Not War.

Davison credits the jangling, infectious final track 'Our Song' to none other than Eddie Vedder, who mysteriously appeared in a dream singing the catchy refrain in his very low voice.

Driven by his unique and optimistic vision as a singer/songwriter, the eleven track collection features a host of top flight East Coast musicians (keyboardist Brian Simms, bassist Mike Mennell, guitarist Rennie Grant) as well as drum legend Chester Thompson, who has played with Weather Report, Frank Zappa and on and off with Genesis for more than 30 years.

Make Waves Not War was produced by Pete Solley, who is best known for his seminal work with Oingo Boingo and The Romantics and who produced several albums for Davison's former band, the popular Cubic Feet, which performed regularly in Baltimore, Washington D.C., NYC and Philly and scored numerous college radio, Triple A and Hot Modern Tracks airplay hits in the 1990s. Their last album was Superconnector in 2001.

Davison did his first Nuke the Soup live performance at Delaware's Dewey Beach Music Conference in 2006 and is currently planning a debut tour.
