Televandals

They take the stance of representing an end to the apathy of a generation. Sounding kind of electro, a little punk, dabbling in indie, in the vein of new-rave, and inspired from everything you've heard over the last 20 years yet sounding nothing like any of it, Televandals continually seek a truly original sound with seeming disregard to any one genre or style. According to the band, "the inspiration behind Televandals was to create music that forces you to think, touches your soul and makes you want to dance like hell. In an industry of soulless pop and cliché genres, no idea is too radical and no sound is off limits. Though we’ve been inspired by everything from old school punk to synth-driven electronic dance music to 80s British dark-wave, we aspire to an epic, edgy, hypnotic and apocalyptic sound that transcends the stigmas of genre. Along with that, our music incorporates a social insurgency with politically charged lyrics that confront societal inequities and demand that listeners think for themselves." The end of they're bio sums up what they have set out to do: "In the end, we want to make you believe you can rise above disillusionment and despair to truly make a difference with your life. And if you feel a sense of grandeur, hope, inspiration, or even immortality when you hear our music or see us live, then we have succeeded. This is music for the apocalypse, or to prevent it." To date, Televandals have shared the stage with acts such as Medicated Kisses, BM Linx, The Campaign for Real Time, and Stella by Starlight. their music has appearred in plays in New York and several independent films. They are currently finishing up their debut LP and will be touring the Eastern US with the UK bands Killaflaw and Yo! Majesty in late spring.
