Rocking on the Telephone to NYC.

Who doesn’t like a bit of classic American Rock?

I have to say, easy-listening rock is not really my thing, but I can see myself chilling to The Telephones with a beer this summer more than once.

The Telephones are a four man indie-rock band from New York. They started out with just Jesse Adelman (guitar + vocals) and Bradley Albert (keyboards), who in 2002 released their first EP entitled “Music for Babies”, following it up in 2005 with the full-length album “Fight Night at Rodeo Dodo” before Anton Kreisl (bass) and Mike Reed (drums) joined the band.

Their latest work, Volume 1 (EP), 2009, includes the tracks: ‘Libertine’, which is the EP’s leading track, and ‘Life is Great’. The Latter of which I just cannot stop listening to

Here they are…

“Life Is Great” -The Telephones Vol. 1 by Vintage Hustle Inc.

“Libertine” – The Telephones Vol. 1 by Vintage Hustle Inc.

Some of their tracks are a bit of a throwback to old American Rock, particularly “Libertine”, which has a very bluesy, almost southern-style sound.

That might not be absolutely every-one’s cup-of-tea, but what no one can deny is the quality of Jesse’s song writing and, for an unsigned band, the quality of the production of their tracks.

If that isn’t enough reason to look them out, take a look at one of their live performances, which are obviously very well practiced. A very accomplished live sound…

Definitely one of those bands that are worth going to see live. Even if easy-listening American Rock isn’t really your thing.
