   About The Definite Articles

We are a 5-piece rock band from central California. In May 2008, we released our first EP, Boy Wonder. If you come to a show, you can buy one from us, I promise!

We're starting work on our full-length record. If it's not done by the end of 2009, you know who to blame. (Hint: the answer is probably video games.)

..What's that? You say you'd like to join the 21st century by just buying Boy Wonder off of iTunes? We can hook you up!

The Definite Articles


And we made the July 2008 Monthly Mix podcast on The Bay Bridged:

The Bay Bridged


"The talent is obvious, but what I like is that the band don't depend on the kitsch factor; their music is catchy, complicated, adventurous, and most of all, really good. With a sound akin to Final Fantasy, Joanna Newsom, and the Shins, this music is the right step forward for indie rock. It's almost entirely unpretentious and genuine; and by that, I mean that these aren't college kids showing off how cool they are because they can play instruments (I'm looking at you, Vampire Weekend). This is a collective of talented musicians writing great songs and forgoing the guitar for a much better sound."

Navega en el espacio junto a un robot con la nueva promo de Mayo de Old Future Crash...I'M A ROBOT.
Una canción donde puedes escuchar la voz narrativa de NANCY BETANCOURT y cuenta con la colaboración de MARIAN LOPEZ en la voz del estribillo.

Sail away out in space next to a robot with the new Old Future Crash promo for May... I'M A ROBOT, there you will listen to the narrative voice of NANCY BETANCOURT. It also counts with the special collaboration of MARIAN LÓPEZ with her voice in the chorus.

My buddy and I already planned on seeing you guys on the 25th in San Francisco. You guys blew me away in Modesto and I wanted to shake one of your guys' hand and say how unreal you guys were, but I was too much in awestruck.


Maybe I'll get enough courage on the 25th...
