Polaroids

Who are all the members of your band, and what do they play?

Jon Hernandez - Vocals
Josh Garcia - Lead Guitar
Garrett Stout - Guitar

When did the band get together, and how?

Adrian and I (Josh) started together around 2008 - 2009, and we went through a few people. The band we have now has been together for less than a year, but it finally seems to be a perfect match.

How would you describe your music to someone?

For me its like asking someone to describe the color red... I just say come check us out at one of our shows or online.

Who are some of the bands that influence your music?

Too many bands, but we mostly listen to old jazz and blues records for inspiration or influence.

From people that have seen our shows, we usually get:

The Strokes
The Walkmen
Brandon Flowers
Kings of Leon < (Really not trying to go for that, but thanks?)

What is your most memorable gig so far?

The night we played at Lowbrow for a friend who had passed away. It was the most people we've ever played for, and it was nice to see so many people come out and raise money for his family. To me that is the most memorable gig we've had so far.

Are you currently signed to any kind of label or management?

No we are not.

What other bands have your members been/are in?

Garrett has been in Enemy 13 and Westbound, which later on turned into The Dirty River Boys.

What other local bands would you recommend people check out?

The Lusitania
The D.A.
The Royalty
Nalgadas
Alabama Deathwalk
Call for Candor

etc...

I don't know, we are fans of a lot of the bands we have played with or have seen.

Where can people contact you to book you for shows?
