...somebody took a bright and shiny LA powerpop band and made them sit nekkid in the Ohio River for a couple weeks.
...the spawn of a one-nighter between The Who and the Allman Brothers Band.

Rather than write a bunch of boring words that don't really describe us that well, we're gonna show you a clip of us playing "Numb" at the Mad Frog last year, from the live DVD we just finished.
And here's another little treat for you... "The intro to the DVD, as well as the first song, "So Far Away.
Press for the 'Tones:
Fans of Supergrass(lots), The Churchills, The Nines, Digby and The Argument have to jump on this one a it..s a great debut for most pop fans here! WOW! The Vinyltones shamelessly display all things great, endlessly endearing about cool pop: instantly digestible melodies; short and tuneful solos; bottom-heavy distorted fuzz bass; a pounding backbeat; multiple layers of guitar crunch; harmonic bliss. Want more? Okay, we..ll let the superlatives spew on about the smart production flourishes, willowy, floating melodies, just the right amount of guitar bite that gets wrapped around caressing vocals, Memoirs Of A Songbook is just simply fantastic! . -notLame.com
Everything about the band's performance, from its vintage, beards-and-flannels aesthetic to its quick turns between gruff Rock and sweet Pop, is a seemingly effortless embodiment of the Indie ideal. Playing the largest of arenas or the smallest of festivals, the Vinyltones, in their mission to deliver visceral, "slow-burning" Pop music to the world, sport cool accessibility throughout. -Hannah Roberts, CityBeat
"Memoirs is a revelation, showing the 'Tones to be one of the most talented new bands in the city. The album moves from more bouncy Power Pop fare to balls-out melodic Rock, with some amazing mid-tempo and ballad-like numbers tossed in for a well roundedness that makes the band sound like they've been together for a decade." -Mike Breen, CityBeat
"The album is full of modern power pop songs with urgent hooky melodies. The group, little known to most locals, immediately checks in as one of the best new bands on the power pop scene in town." -Rick Bird, Cincinnati Post
"The band's songs are peppered with just the right amount of studio tweaking. Despite the fact that this is a slick and polished album, many of the tracks still have quite an edge. These songs might best be described as hard power pop. The playing is spirited and ballsy at times...but the melodies are ultimately hummable and catchy." -LMNOP.com/Babysue
"On Memoirs of a Songbook, the Vinyltones are already playing world class music, so here's hoping the world starts paying attention." -Amplifier Magazine
you probably don't want to read a long and boring history of how the band came together, blah blah blah. and i don't feel like writing one of those long boring things either. so let's see if we can trim it down a bit:
-we play rock'n'roll
-some people think we're pretty good at it
that's about it... everything else is just details. if you really feel like you need to know more, go to our website and read the rest.
