"Smart catchy lyrics make the music able to appeal to a wide crowd. The vocals are intoxicatingly smooth and clear drawing you in and keeping you interested... Keep an eye on these guys they're capable of doing great things and making great music." -Artsy Noise
"The band’s most recent release, entitled “Lazy Atoms EP,” is a dreamy ride...Barebones instrumentation lets the band flex their rhythmic muscles as an aloof melody weaves itself into a number of their songs...Stripped down, honest and rhythmic indie rock." -pluginmusic.com
"Lazy Atoms revolves around dreamy pop-rock. The first four songs are slow numbers…rhythmic and soft, but pretty. The lyrics are artsy and the singer’s voice is subdued enough to mesh well with the sound Broadband Shortwave seems to be aiming for." - Delusions of Adequacy
"Broadband Shortwave’s “Lazy Atoms” EP reaches a lot of places. It's like a running account of trying to find inner peace, a lifelong struggle to reconcile the mixed blessings of worldly fame with a consuming desire to reach a higher, purer state of grace, all the while creating some very catchy alt. pop tunes in the vein of Radiohead or Spoon. The band has a way of gently intoxicating the listener with big questions about guilt and transcendence with zero irony. Fear and acceptance run together in these six songs, as well as anger and serenity... There is little bitterness or regret in this music - mostly acceptance, anticipation, and big, colorful stories." - Phil Rainone, Jersey Beat
"Broadband Shortwave has a little bit of something for everyone... dreamy ascensions and build-ups add the perfect amount of momentum without sacrificing the mellow mood." - Independent Clauses
Broadband Shortwave has been playing a dynamic blend of indie rock in the Northwest scene since 2001. Hailing from Helena, Montana, the group has managed to surprise audiences in the Northwest with their distinctive sound. Having shared the stage with other revolutionary acts like Seattle's The Myriad, the band has developed a strong following among local listeners. After releasing the So Unknown EP in 2002 and the expanded album I Died Last Night in 2003, the band regrouped in 2006 with a new lineup and began work on an entirely new batch of songs, some of which are highlighted on their most recent release, the Lazy Atoms EP. Self-produced and recorded over New Years in the remaining minutes of 2006, Lazy Atoms captures the band in their most creative stage yet, crafting intelligent and deceptively catchy music for their growing audience of discerning fans. Broadband Shortwave plans to tour extensively behind the new release and will soon begin work on a new full-length.
I'd love to play some of your tunes on my downloadable radio show... I just need your permission. I was given the EP as gift. Can I? Hope you're doing well, say hello to my favorite mountains for me.
I didn't get a txt back but I saw the pics on myspace, and she is amazing! you have a beautiful little girl on your hands. I think maybe my folks got some, but I know that Michal camara broke but she got one of all of us. You enjoying the dad scene?
We all know it is tacky to comment on somones page so frequently that there isn't another persons comment between your comments to split them up...this would make the perfect "Oreo" of comments where two solid choclate comments are divided by a creme comment...but at the risk of being tacky I congradulate you four on a great show in Missoula, you came and the bad weather came with you...in a good rockin kind of way.
I dont know why you guys have people modelling your shirts if you can't even show their faces, were they burnt by acid or something ? But seriously, I have these metallic blue shorts and when I have purchased a choice bbsw t-shirt to sling over my sexy back (...yeah...) then all I'd need is a camera man. You can do the math and it = some serious, sexy, upfront t-shirt selling photographs (...yeah...)
