It’s always sad to see a band with so much potential split up, especially when their label has no idea how to market the band and ends up throwing them on tour with mediocre emo bands. Codeseven would’ve had a huge fanbase if it wasn’t for just that. However, two bands have spawned from the wreckage. Ex-lead vocalist Jeff Jenkins emerged with the spacey Sundrone while the rest of the band started the cinematic-rock band Telescreen with ex-Classic Case vocalist Jared Draughon. Sundrone, however, seems to be the superior of the two. I know comparing a band to Radiohead is kind of dangerous but Sundrone draws obvious influence from them as well as being able to establish their own synthy atmospheric sound. But it’s kind of difficult to determine what Sundrone has in store with only two demo songs up and one Portishead cover. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what’s in store; I know I’m excited…

I kind of laugh to myself when people ask me, “Hey what are you doing this Columbus Day weekend?” When I say I have to work, they usually give me that look like I just dented my car. “Oooo, bummer dude.” It’s no big deal when it comes down to it. Weekends lose their meaning when you have a schedule like mine. I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’m not even sure how to ‘observe’ Columbus Day. Well there’s always Indigenous Peoples Day. Hooray oppression!

Telescreen was formed in the spring of 2007 by members of Codeseven and vocalist Jared Draughon from Classic Case. Both bands went on hiatus and but by some alignment of the stars, they met and started Telescreen. The band transmits the same space rock sound as Codeseven once did, but something sounds calmer and stranger, in a good way of course.
In October of 2007, Telescreen released “The Solar Sea” as a digital EP. But they had an odd way of distributing it. Fans of the band can got a personalized Paypal link that allowed them to make money by offering the EP (7 songs) to their friends. When one of their friends used the link to buy the TELESCREEN EP, that fan made 100% of the profits from the sale.
The EP is a DRM free digital download and goes for just $5.99. After Paypal takes its cut of 47 cents, the remaining $5.52 goes directly into the fan’s Paypal account. The band never sees or touches the money. Also, their new split 7inch with Damn This Desert Air (ex-Nora, Instruction, Ex-Number Five members) is now available. Its part of the KOI splits series and it features the song “The Solar Sea (Asteroid Remix).”
To purchase the EP, go here. The purchase the 7inch split go here. To see live footage of Telescreen, go here.
If you want to catch Telescreen live. Check them out with the mighty Jonah Matranga at Mainstage in Pompton Lakes, NJ with split-mates Damn This Desert Air on the 5th of September. If you can’t make it, check them out supporting dredg this fall on their upcoming tour.
Enjoy!
