Hipsy's View: The New Electric Sound

Though this band can be found on Reverbnation.com, I first heard of it on Facebook. It was a linked video a relative of mine had posted. The name of the video was Crimson Sky (Acoustic). After that, I listened to the song more than six times, literally. On just another day of randomly clicking links to music, I heard and soon became a fan of a band called The New Electric Sound.

This is an Indie/pop-rock band -- formed in 2011 -- and is from Provo, Utah. It was created by Scott Vance, who is a singer and songwriter, as well as a pastry chef. As I read more about The New Electric Sound, I noticed how many compared NES's sound to older bands such as the Beach Boys, the Surfaris, and singers like Buddy Holly. Though I agree, I would also add the Crew Cuts to the list. When listening to NES's version of "I Only Want To Be With You", the Crew Cuts "Sh-Boom" came to my mind. NES also has a vibe about it that reminds me a little bit of Jack White and Iron & Wine mixed together. All I really have to say is that this band is great and is captivating. If you want to hear some new music from a new Indie band, I recommend the New Electric Sound. In my opinion, you would not be disappointed to give them a listen to.

The New Electric Sound can be found on Youtube, Facebook, Reverbnation, and their own website. Below are the links. Until next time, I hope you enjoy this band.
