No Second Troy talk to Absolute Punk about Led Zeppelin, Kings of Leon and being a giant rabbit

Absolute Punk puts No Second Troy through the musical ringer with their usual bevy of questions, always entertaining and informative.

Among 20 questions AP asks, "Why should people listen to your band?"

"Because we honestly think you'll like it. Not that we're aiming for it, but with three songwriters in the band we think there's something for everyone. also because this new record is not an effort to sound like anyone but ourselves, you're not going to hear a bunch of autotuning, and we hope the songwriting and the lyrics go hand-in-hand in a way fans of both pop and indie rock will relate to."

No Second Troy Shares Tone with Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill

Bill's Music Forum reviews No Second Troy's upcoming release, Colors saying, "No Second Troy is out to blur the line between indie rock and pop.Surrounding classic introspective indie rock lyrics with melodic sensibility, No Second Troy is in position to make this a successful merger."

He goes on to say, "Another plus for the band is vocalist Jeff Wharen, who has that perfect tone for a rock singer - reminds me somewhat of Anthony Caleb Followill (Kings of Leon). The rest of the band is tight, effortlessly threading elements from across multiple musical genres into a fresh new tapestry."

Bill goes into detail about on of his favorite songs on the record: "'The Black and White Movie', both musically and lyrically. Keyboardist Mike Beach explains, ''The Black and White Movie' is an acknowledgment that we overanalyze our relationships and foolishly seek the perfection we see in Hollywood movies, thereby having our relationships fall into one of two categories - bliss or something inadequate, in other words, viewing the world as a black and white movie and failing to see all the colors and nuances.'"

He thinks you'll like them if you like Coldplay and U2. We'd like to hear what you think. Listen to streamed audio of "The Black and White Movie" here. Click Here to Read More..
