Reading

Merging the tastes and talents of four diverse and seasoned musicians, READING builds an eclectic mix of Rock and Pop on a super-solid Indie foundation that holds it all together and keeps it interesting. I'll spare you the tired comparisons to other bands and the "it's like 'so-and-so' meets 'so-and-so' analogies... it's better than that. The music is smart. It lures you in with its synthesized melodies and back-up vocals and it keeps you there with well-developed hooks, complex rhythms, and lyrics for the thinking man. It is poppy without being trite. Challenging without being mathematical. Emotional without whining. It's got everything you love about American Music- artful urban sophistication blurring into Mid-Western blue collar work ethic that feels just as comfortable on your iPod as it does on your turntable. Somebody smart said that READING is like the Louisville music scene of 10 years ago. I say their music is more than that. It's all Louisville has learned in her decade off, and it's ready to take on the world again.
