Coming up with a fun, original and memorable band name is – in a word – torture (been there, failed at that many times). 1-800-BAND is not just all of the above, it’s… a genius idea for a band name! Also because it perfectly fits the Brooklyn quartet’s slightly synthetic retro-pop, reminiscent of the Cars and other bands that were in vogue at a time when the good old land line phone was still inspiring hit songs (think Blondie). The band will be releasing their debut EP in April on Almost Ready Records (home to Liquor Store, Nobunny, Atlantic Thrills, etc), check out the title track ‘Diver Blue,’ streaming below.
