Neon Trees is a rock band from Provo, UT. (Something good actually came from Utah? Surprising, I know.) The members include Tyler Glenn (lead vocals/keyboards), Chris Allen (guitars), Branden Campbell (bass), and Elaine Bradey (drums/vocals).
Apparently the band was well known in Provo. However, it wasn't until late 2008 when Neon Trees was chosen as the opening act to The Killers that they gained nationwide exposure. Shortly afterwards, the band signed with Mercury Records in early 2009.
On March 16, 2010 they released their latest album Habits, which includes eight tracks. It's a really good, up-beat collection of songs, but I do wish that there were more than eight. I've kept this CD on repeat for the past couple days. It really is just so good! Very catchy. Way to go Utah!
The first track released was Animal.
"Music is a sacred act of communion for me, offering hope and love,” says Tyler. “That’s the heart of this band. Just like in life, though, you need to have fun, too, you have to laugh and dance and sing. The songs that last and get people to feel something are the ones they can sing along to and really identify with.”
“There’s so much breath to what we do,” adds Elaine. “Every song represents a different aspect of our sound. We don’t stick to a single formula. And we have the goods to back it up live.”
“Our favorite thing is playing live shows, traveling, seeing new places, meeting new people,” adds Chris. “We just want to share that feeling we got from the bands that inspired us, and then We want to pass the torch.”
The band is currently on tour with Mute Math (yay!) and 30 Seconds to Mars (ew). Check out their myspace for the tour dates. Click here to download their song 1983 for free.
I'll be going to their April 25th show in Charlotte with my husband! So excited!!
