It all started here in Greece, in the island of Crete. A year later, GROUPLOVE couldn't resist fate and all moved to LA to record their debut EP and start playing in the local venues. "Their debut EP, including the single 'Colours,' which sounds as bright as its name -- buoyed by the elegant simplicity and Generation-X-NRG of the band's primary inspirations: Nirvana, Pixies, Modest Mouse, SoCal punk rock. A sound they cheekily refer to as 'funge.'" --Radar
Reptar
Reptar
"With a sound that's as exuberant as it is infectious, Athens, Georgia dance-pop quartet Reptar have been scuffing up dancefloors since they formed in 2008. Featuring the talents of Andrew McFarland, Ryan Engelberger, Graham Ulicny, and William Kennedy, the band brings danceable electronic rock into the modern era with a sound that evokes the classic synth-drenched funk of Prince and densely layered dance-pop of bands like Passion Pit. The band toured for a couple years, delivering buzzworthy performances at showcases like South by Southwest, before bringing the party to the masses with its debut EP, Oblangle Fizz Ya'll, in 2011." - Gregory Heaney, AllMusicGuide
