O.K., I'll admit upfront that headline is a bit histrionic. But
The Phonographs don't shy away from hyperbole. Anyone who drops Big Star and The Redwalls in their pitch to listen to their music is either delusional or really, really good. The Phonographs fall into the latter camp.
On their debut
Shattered Lenses, this Chicago band winds the hooks so tight they can't help but fly off in so many directions, snaring the attention of anyone within listening radius. Check out one of the tunes from the album below, because honestly it's your ears that will convince you this group is worth your while. And then check them out when
they play Record Breakers this Saturday, July 28.
