Band Review: STEREO IS A LIE
With the release of their self-titled debut album last month, STEREO IS A LIE is making moves.
Set to play MR Fest next month, this dynamic five-piece band comprised of local Austin-Brit rockers, attacks classic alternative rock with a touch of rejuvenation. Lead singer Glynn Wedgewood’s vocals are distinct and memorable. The band’s sound is simple yet intricate, close to the iconic 90’s music that still lives on today. In fact their singles, “It’s Too Late” and “Last Call,” are reminiscent of influences ranging from R.E.M. to Sonic Youth to Oasis, with the exception that STEREO IS A LIE creates a more contemporary, personal sound.
Coming out of a breakthrough year, STEREO IS A LIE won Austin’s portion of The Deli magazine’s “Emerging Artist of 2009,” beating out competition from acts like Neon Indian and Black Joe Lewis. Last summer the band completed the recording of their debut album, mixed by Chris Cline (…Trail Of Dead, The Society of Rockets, etc.) and mastered by John Golden (Sonic Youth, Film School, etc.). With a helping hand from the best of the best, it’s no wonder that after watching their performance at KTSW’s Third Thursday concert series last fall, STEREO IS A LIE deserves all the attention they get. If San Marcos loves them, so will you.
STEREO IS A LIE will play MR Fest 2011 at Texas Music Theater on Saturday, April 30 during the afternoon set. Come by and say hi!-Sonia Onescu
