Hey Rosetta! signs with ATo Records and on tour

ATO Records is pleased to announce the signing of Canada's
breakout success story of 2011, Hey Rosetta! ATO Records will release the
critically acclaimed, 'Seeds', in the U.S. in February, 2012 preceded by an
acoustic EP featuring several songs from the record surrounding their North
American fall tour.

Hey Rosetta! experienced massive growth North of the border with the release
of their album, 'Seeds', (Produced by Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Belle and
Sebastian, Wintersleep), scoring a #3 debut at iTunes Canada, and recently
shortlisted for the prestigous Polaris Music Prize, awarded annually to the
best Canadian full-length album, alongside Arcade Fire. Both singles ("Yer
Spring" and "Welcome") reached the #1 spot at Canadian radio, helping to
propel the album to sell over 20,000 units (U.S. equivalent of 250,000
albums).

'Seeds' employs some of the most poetic and profound lyrical offerings from
Tim Baker (vocals/guitar), and grasps the full sonic expression of the band,
including cellist Romesh Thavanathan, violinist Kinley Dowling, bassist Josh
Ward, drummer Phil Maloney and guitarist Adam Hogan.

In a short amount of time, the band has amassed a loyal and devoted
following from their unique brand of alternative/indie/folk/rock music
drawing comparisons to early Sufjan Stevens, Mumford and Sons, and Snow
Patrol among others, fueled by their passionate and compelling live
performances. Earlier this year, Paste Magazine named Hey Rosetta! among
the "Top 5 Bands to See at SXSW," and Billboard named them as one of the
"Top 5 Canadian Bands To Watch."

As displayed by their tireless work ethic and international touring over the
past several years, Hey Rosetta! have proven that they not only deliver on
record, but have earned a reputation as one of the most dynamic live bands
Canada exports. The band played over 300 shows in support of it's last
album, including tours of North America, Australia, China, Europe, the
U.K.- an even more impressive fact when taking into consideration origin of
the band's travels from their home in remote Newfoundland.

Hey Rosetta! will embark upon a North American headline tour, including a
major market run across Canada including two nights in Toronto at The
Phoenix and select stops into a handful of U.S. dates including Los Angeles,
Chicago, and New York among other notable cities.

Preceding the fall run, the band will return to Australia as direct support
for Aussie favorites, The Jezabels, after a tour there earlier this spring
with City and Colour. Hey Rosetta! has shared the stage with Bright Eyes,
City and Colour, Broken Social Scene, The Tragically Hip, Weezer, and more.

Surrounding the album release earlier this year, the band sold out their
Canadian tour, moving 14,000 tickets over 14 shows.
