Gentlemen Hall is an American synthpop/electropop band from Boston, MA. Considered one of the best bands of the Boston area, GH debuted with the self-titled EP in 2009, followed by the first full-length album "Give Us Roots, Give Us Wings" in 2010.

Gentlemen Hall became widely popular a couple of weeks ago, when they launched an online campaign with Microsoft to promote the new Windows Phone. The clever, three minute "demisode" video features the band on set making a music clip for "Gravity Will Break Our Bones", a song off their second album, "When We All Disappear", released last September.

Son Of A Bad Man released their debut full length album last Saturday. It's titled "Here's To The Falling In…" and is the follow-up to the band's self-titled EP that was released in 2010 through Universal Republic Records. Since then they got dropped from the label and launched a Kickstarter campaign to get some help for the making of the album.

This is what band leader Shawn Fisher had to say to AlternativeAddiction.com about the sound of the band: "I feel like "southern pop" fits, because southern rock… all of these mainstream rock radio bands have kind of taken their own spin on southern rock. That’s just hard rock and we’re not a hard rock band. But we’re not a pop rock band either. So I feel like adding a southern twang with a Matchbox Twenty type sound, that’s the best way to describe us.”

From the bio of the band: "The Violet Lights are a rock duo based in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, California. Recording their debut EP, "Sex & Sound", at the legendary Hollywood studio Sunset Sound, they emerged with what is being described as a "Velvet Underground descendant collection of songs more befitting of the garage label than, say, The Strokes" and a sound labeled "a mash-up of Britpop, NYC garage rock and West Coast guitar musings."

Well, I'll just call this quality, radio-friendly pop rock with traces of what mentioned in the bio. However, judge by yourself by listening to The Violet Lights' 5-track debut EP "Sex & Sound" at their webpage. And while you're at it, subscribe to their mailing list and a get a song for free!
