InfluencesToo many to mention, but if it helps, we have covered songs (at least once) by the Church, the Byrds, the Pretenders, Warren Zevon, the Mothers of Invention, Pavement, the Plimsouls, Stiff Little Fingers, the Replacements, the Ramones, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Heartbreakers (as in Johnny Thunders), Cheap Trick, the Undertones, Joy Division, Flamin' Groovies, David Bowie, Jesus and Mary Chain, Status Quo, INXS, REM, Hoodoo Gurus, Gin Blossoms, Icicle Works, Rolling Stones and Pulp. We also did a Little River Band song once, but we wouldn't say that we're influenced by them.
Sounds LikeWhat we say:

Post-punk power pop from Deep in the Heart of South Austin, Texas

What others have said about us:

"Without overplaying the Daylight Titans' hand at only eight tracks, Boom and Chime broadcasts Andy Smith's commanding vocals and the band's 1980s-esque hard-roots drive, which conjures R.E.M. on a True Believers bender. Standouts include the early punk rattle of "Between Joy and Faith" and the wasn't-that-an-MTV-video? sound of "Bathed in Light." - Austin Chronicle

"Terrific rockin' trio from Austin, TX who have an overflow of pop smarts and hooks to match. They don't forego the songwriting one whit on this sophomore effort ... 8 tunes here and there is a relentless punch and drive to these tunes that keeps me coming back to them."- Daggerzine

"I don't know if there's such a thing as "hard roots rock", but if there is these Texans fit the description. With a driving power pop undercurrent, they call to mind early REM, The Hoodoo Gurus, The Church, and The Replacements ..." -Absolute Powerpop

"I Daylight Titans propongono un'americana molto energica e muscolare che riserva eguale attenzione alla potenza e alle soluzioni melodiche sempre di primissimo piano ... Il disco è parecchio pensoso e privo di momenti frivoli, breve (appena otto brani), molto molto intenso e incolume da riempitivi."- Under the Tangerine Tree

"An album that just compels you to put up your hands and rock!" - The Rock N' Roll Report

"I've listened to this five times in the last week and it gets better and more crucial with each listen." - Not Lame Recording Company

"This is the kind of magnetic guitar rock that has sadly dissipated over the years since the 80's indie American scenes fostered by Minneapolis, Athens, LA, and Austin- driving rhythms, raging, slashing guitars, and grayscale melodies that just seem to go well with a foul mood and a six-pack of PBR." - Pop Culture Press

"Don’t you just like it when you ‘discover’ a band and they are like some cool secret that you have to share with everyone? Well I’ve just found that band." - Alternative Malta

   About The Daylight Titans
The Daylight Titans make mighty rock music for the people of Earth.

Our name is taken from a song. If you type our name into any search engine, you will find out which one. The band has existed in one form or another since 2002 and with its current four members since April 2009.

Our newest record is called Boom and Chime. It is available digitally through iTunes, eMusic, Rhapsody and others, and on CD at Waterloo Records in Austin and online through such sites as CD Baby, Amazon, Not Lame, Kool Kat Musik, and others. We are hoping to record another one soon.

Our discography includes two EPs and a couple of compilations (which we haven't completely disowned, yet). In 2005, we presented our self-titled full-length debut to the world, and there was some rejoicing.

Also, our song "Dangle" was also heard in an episode of the acclaimed and sadly departed television show Veronica Mars (air date: April 5, 2005).

We accept any and all friend requests but we'd appreciate it if you didn't take advantage of our generosity and use our page to post a bunch of advertising or porn or other impolite crap.

Peace, DTs

I wonder, considering your style and influences...does your band name come from the song 'daylight titans' by the great british band The Vapors?
