THE COLOR WHEELS – ON TOUR!

The pride of Poughkeepsie, THE COLOR WHEELS, will be hitting the road today for a short tour across the Northeast in support of their Self-Titled debut full-length on Viper Bite Records.

Made up of husband and wife duo of Jon and Psalm Sebastian, the band has put together a batch of cunningly addictive songs about pirate ships, playing house and pitching tents. Don’t be fooled though – therein lies the undeniable heart and contagious innocence of The Color Wheels. Still, behind the infectious guitars and sparkling melodies there are bursts of perfectly crafted power pop with a surprising attention to detail. If you rocked out to The Promise Ring’s Very Emergency back in the day, The Color Wheels Self-Titled debut is a must have.

LANTERNS NEWS

LANTERNS rise triumphantly from the hollowed indie rock grounds of San Diego with Apocalypse Youth, a fiery collection of noisy pop songs. Beginning tomorrow, the band will take their show on the road for a quick West Coast swing in support of the new five-song EP.

As the opening chords of distortion ring from Apocalypse Youth and the drums build to a sharp climax, there is a genuine feeling of excitement. The four young men of Lanterns do nothing to quell that anticipation across the EP’s raging sound. The band washes its songs in waves of glorious feedback, yet buried right beneath the surface lay shards of penetrating melody. With anthemic guitars and powerful, thought-provoking lyrics, Lanterns is a beacon of hope in this crowded musical landscape. Imagine if you will And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead without all the pretension weighing them down.
