Sounds Like
Think the hook-heavy pop and eternally good disposition of The Beatles in an indie haze, laced with the alterna-rock of The Strokes.
We're opening for Vampire Weekend on July 29th at Pipeline Cafe!
LINUS! has been a diehard Hawaii based art rock band for the past 8 years, and we have no intention of turning our amps down any time soon. If you like what you hear, please let us know in one form or another. We love making new friends, keeping old ones, and playing our brand of music. The reason we've been around for so long is simple: we believe in our songs, and we think you will too.

The Reviews:
"This first full-length CD puts Linus right on the money. All tunes have a raw edge of hope and optimism. Earnest rock that's easy on the ear, with structure and focus."
-- Wayne Harada (Honolulu Advertiser)
"This is smart music in terms of texture and construction, ranging from simple, stark arrangements to fuzzed-out noise. It's the Cars meets My Bloody Valentine, with an occasional nod to Radiohead."
-- Gary C.W. Chun (Star Bulletin)
Thank you. Your tunes are pretty groovy too. If you're ever in the New York area & need another band or some fans, let us know. Hawaii is a bit too far for us right now. By the way, your photo gallery is amazing. It's a virtual trip to the musuem.
