Antennas Up is a band that lives where high-tech audio meets organic, honest songwriting. Formed in 2008, with a sound that uses vocoder, synths, computers, and guitar effects and is often compared to iconic pop bands like Phoenix and OK Go, the Kansas City foursome deliver songs with high-energy hooks and soul-bearing twists on the human experience of clumsy moments and broken relationships.

Composed primarily in a remote cabin in Maine, The Awkward Phase captures the dance-driven, high-energy live shows the band is becoming widely known for and introduces a new set of musical themes and textures previously unheard from the electro pop-rock quartet. Says lead vocalist Kyle Akers, "Up in Maine we wrote songs in about every way possible--just a guitar and a singer, the full band playing together, individuals writing parts and bouncing them around, and they all worked in their own ways.

From the blues-influenced anthem "Untitled (How Will I Know)" to the orchestral rock swells in "My Brain" to driving beats and space-reaching vocals in "Lose It." .. ...... .. .. ----------------------------------------------------------------- .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .......... .. .. .. ----------------------------------------------------------------- .. .. ..Please visit at our friends at Sennheiser...... ...... .. .. -----------------------------------------------------------------.. .. ..Moving Pictures:...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... -----------------------------------------------------------------.. .. .."Let Me Ride You" - ..Keep The Heat.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
