What would west coast pop art experimentalism sound like filtered through an industrial midwest prism? No clue, but perhaps Secret Colours can shine some light on that. The newly minted Chicago quintet channels the finest in the greats of late '60s psychedelia, '90s newgaze reverence, and a touch of driving, bucolic, no frills RnR straight from the greasiest of garages. Secret Colours at their most beautiful help you to turn on, tune in, and drop out. Secret Colours are bad dudes, and in a day and age where Anton Newcombe is making dance beats and Syd Barrett was long assimilated by the Borg, Secret Colours are a Kodachrome tinted breath of fresh air.

After a fruitful 2011, Burning Hotels have a clear vision for the future of their music and it's evolution. Key members Chance Morgan and Matt Mooty's 2011 self-titled LP (Burning Hotels) shines through with a Texas flare that fuses Old Wave Pop with Dance aesthetics. Burning Hotels have created their own distinctively pop and oblique brand of music, rightfully dubbed by Mark Schectman from KDGE as 'Sex Wave.' Make no mistake about it; this is no stab at a trend. This is Pop music. The songs sound exactly as the band wants them to... Full of energy with electronic textures, danceable rhythms and catchy hooks.

Burning Hotels are currently working on a remix and b-side EP to be released during the summer of 2012 and supported by a national tour. The band has supported Class Actress, Surfer Blood, Ladytron, The Horrors, White Rabbits, The Cribs, The Hood Internet and more. Burning Hotels are currently signed to Kobalt Music Publishing.
