RETISONIC Levittown EP

Description

Retisonic share a diverse set of influences (The Damned, Cheap Trick, Queens of the Stone Age, Gary Numan, The Police, Minor Threat) and write songs that keep up the intensity of their previous bands with an added emphasis on melody and harmony. The NYC trio kicked off their existence with a headlining tour of Europe in 2002, and though the strength of their previous bands (Bluetip, Swiz, Garden Variety, J Majesty) certainly helped open the door for such a feat, their debut EP Lean Beat (produced by J. Robbins) took it off its hinges: NME, Alternative Press and Rocksound each gave it 8/10 stars while Kerrang offered 5/5, calling it 'a classic'. Retisonic have spent 2005 writing and recording their best material to date: 18 new songs showcasing their angular take on punk, rock, melody, harmony, aggression, beauty, frustration and love. The Levittown EP will give the world its first glimpse of their efforts. With several 16mm film projects in the works, 2006 will prove to be the defining year for Retisonic.
