Bio
Formed in 2005 by brothers Alex and Austin Ward, The Noise FM's music has earned favorable comparisons to the melodic, beat-driven alt-rock of Muse, The Killers, and Bloc Party. The band released the full-length “Dream of the Attack” in 2008 and immediately received critical and commercial success. The song “Simple Simone” found its way onto the soundtrack for the videogame SBK 09, songs “Iron Lung” and “Simple Simone” were featured in Fox College Sports Best of 2009, and “Only Human” was placed in the world-wide smash game Tap Tap Revenge 3 for iPhone. In 2010, the band was named one of the top 25 artists to watch by influential music site Indie-Music.com and received the award for "Best Indie-Rock Band" by Kansas City, Missouri's premiere entertainment magazine, The Pitch. Touring relentlessly, The Noise FM has developed a can’t-miss live show that has resulted in performances at Summerfest, South By Southwest and support slots for Presidents of the United States of America, VHS or Beta, Ludo, Iglu & Hartly and countless other bands. “Enclave” is the band’s latest release. "Dream Of The Attack...rivaling anything released by The Bravery or The Killers..." from KC Ink "I would give these guys a big stack of speakers, sit back, and watch them explode..." from KCConfidential.com "Though informed by the FM radio euphemisms classic rock and modern rock, the Noise FM strives for a considerably more intelligent sound. The Lawrence trio does, however, maintain rock radio’s polished accessibility. Tight and technically proficient, the Noise’s music is often aggressive but always closely calibrated, with equal attention paid to searing melodies and killer riffs..." from Pitch.com "What sets The Noise FM apart from other area rock acts––bands with impressive music chops––is a vocal prowess that leaps out of the speakers, that leaves no corner of a dark rock club untouched..." from Presentmagazine.com "The Noise FM is a polished trio that moved to Lawrence last year after spending their teenage years in Fort Scott, KS. The group's melodic, kick-ass rock tunes take inspiration from top-shelf woodshedders like Muse and Queens of the Stone Age..." from Lawrence.com "These new kids on the scene play an emotive indie-pop informed by the likes of Placebo, Muse and David Bowie..." from Therecordbar.com. "Enclave contains catchy hooks, clean riffs, and easy-to-digest vocal and lyrical content, all accessible to a casual, mainstream listener. But rather than simply appealing to a mass audience, the group’s incorporation of different musical elements adds much more to the mix..." from InkKC.com "Enclave may be accessible and radio-friendly, but it’s also a crisp document of excellent songcraft..." from Pitch.com "The Lawrence, Kansas trio...make rock noise that’s interesting, muscular, and unapologetic for its proficiency at laying down a groove..." from Presentmagazine.com "The Noise FM’s lyrics brought to mind Kings of Leon, which is never a bad thing in my book. 'No End' was of particular note, with the repeating, 'Why don’t you tell me that you want somebody? That you want somebody.' There aren’t too many bands that manage to catch my attention lyrically when live, so kudos to these guys for being a standout..." from Popwreckoning.com
