From www.ryanssmashinglife.blogspot.com:
"Portland's Another Cynthia is my official overlooked artist of the year. That's a mighty big compliment and they deserve ever letter in the sentence. What's so special about them? They mix beats, strong and sometimes fun lyrics with excellent musicianship. They produced their own album (great job!) and are practically giving the album away it's so cheap. Do yourself a favor and get this one!"

Weekend Artist Series: Portland's ANOTHER CYNTHIA

It's Friday evening and wanted to leave you with some great music. The profile artist for the weekend is Another Cynthia. I first wrote about them last August and I actually ended up naming them the Most Underrated Band in 2006. Yep - Definitely Worthy of a listen and a place in your collection. Just remember you saw it here first (again.)

ANOTHER CYNTHIA - the band you'll leave your current favorite indie CD for. A 2006 must have for your collection! This is the amazing new band from Portland. They are sporting the best new sound and some truly amazing production values. Together it makes for an amazing new sound.What else can I possibly say? Read on friends, read on.



This probably won't be the last time I tell you how much I am enjoying Another Cynthia's latest project or flash back to what they have already done (numerous accolades including RSL Underrated Album of the Year 2006. I mean, everyone loves an underdog especially one that's this talented.) But this might be the last time I need to tell you about Another Cynthia because being good eventually gets you noticed - even amidst a wide dark sea of contenders.

Both VH1 and MTV (believe it or not) are waking up to their sound. Both are using snippets of AC's catchy tracks on their television shows in addition to playing their songs. MTV showcased two tracks during their last Music Awards. The fan base is growing. It's good to see good things happen for this talented, hard working bands. This level of attention will likely result in a tour sometime soon. Only time will tell.

The Mannequin EP is available for Free Download.

You want it - It's Good.

First Single from the New EP
Another Cynthia - Let Down
Let Down is getting airtime on KNRK 94.7fm Portland

So get in on this multi-faceted talent factory. They are super DIY, playing instruments themselves, running their own boards and producing their own records. This is what indie is all about. Here's your chance to grab a free album's worth of material, listen to the songs and tell your friends that you knew about them before they broke it big. It could happen here in '08.


From www.portlandmercury.com
(Hawthorne Theatre, 1507 SE 39th)
Wow, Another Cynthia, I totally didn't expect to love you when I first saw your name on this bill. There's just something about your band name that screams "screamo." But you are, like, soooo not screamo. With sample drum noise and live beats backing up new wavy keys and a ton of vocals swirling around each other, you're super awesome in a dark new wave kind of way. It's the same kind of thing that made me drool retardedly over the second Faint record, only you guys have waaay better vocals, and not so '80s-ish arrangements. I'm totally going to be at your Hawthorne Theatre show. Can't wait to buy a copy of your self-titled CD. Sweet! Oh, I won't be surprised when I hear you for the first time on the radio. It'll be like, "Dudes! Told ya so!" GM

Another Cynthia[Guitar Heros]
This six-member, all-male brunette Bridgetown band looks and sounds like totally classic indie-garage-dance rock. I'll unpack: Fresh-faced and occasionally outfitted in Beatles-esque suits and skinny ties, Another Cynthia creates a happy hybrid of super catchy electropop melodies, cheeky choruses and punchy pop bass lines to remember-it's the kind of thing that usually catches on big.

   About Another Cynthia


Another Cynthia has been recording and performing for five years. Not only do they have a strong following throughout the northwest, they have established themselves as a sought after supporting act for major label touring bands. Their songs have been featured at the MTV Video Music Awards as well as on several Television stations including MTV, VH1 and independent films.

Drawing on the sounds of pop music from the last four decades, Another Cynthia presents something different neatly disguised as something familiar. A musical laboratory of chimey guitars, danceable drum beats, synth sounds, pianos, and fuzzy bass tones frame their earnest lyrics and melodies. Even after minimal exposure to their music, listeners can hear that Another Cynthia is leading the way into a new era.

THANKS FOR ENJOYING THE AMAZING VIDEO FOR OUR SONG "OBAMA"! - Love, Pistol Opera



"OBAMA" by Pistol Opera

Listen up, people, it's a brand new day
It's time to sweep the dim, dark past away
Hear what I say!
Coming soon to the U.S.A.
The Technicolor sequel to J.F.K.
Barack Hussein Obama
No relation to Saddam or that jerk Osama
He's a man on a mission
A visionary poet slash politician
Separate the chaff from Obama the wheat
In a whitebread world, he got the meat
Makes the present state of politics obsolete
From Chicago, where fog comes on little cat feet
So haters stop running your trap talking smack
Get on the O train; stop acting wack
Like Abraham Lincoln crossed with The Mack
Once you go Barack, you never go back Check it!
Botswana to Ghana / Nobu to Benihana
Run go tell your mama about / Obama, Obama
Iraq like Vietnam-a / Barack gonna end the drama
I think youre gonna wanna vote / Obama, Obama
Got charisma and style; smart as a whip
The child of a mixed-race relationship
Born in the 60s when everything was groovy
Heidi Klum and Seal can play his parents in the movie
Came from next-to-nothing; he's a self-made man, so DAMN
Stand up! Give the brother a hand!
He got a grand slam plan to save this land
And if he can't do it, nobody can!
