A new rock ‘n’ roll force has been unleashed from the South.
Pop Break is pleased to premiere the video for ‘Opinions’ from the band SondorBlue, who hail from Charleston, South Carolina.
The live performance video features soaring vocals, a tight sound, and big guitar work — a sound that has garnered the band praise from The Guardian, and TIME Magazine.
The band is comprised of three vocalists – Connor Hollifield on lead guitar, John Sheehan on guitar and keyboards and Andrew Halley on bass, and drummer, Drew Lewis.
Here’s more on the band via press release…
The members of Charleston, South Carolina’s SondorBlue have the markers of the so-called ‘New Bohemian’ movement – with focus on a healthy lifestyle, brotherly love, and individuality. From TIME Magazine in the US to THE GUARDIAN in the UK, people are talking about the return to this free-thinking way of life. While SondorBlue is a rock band writing tight pop songs, they share the relentless touring schedule, the fan culture and the raw musicianship of artists on the ever-expanding jam band scene.
They come together to create harmonies unlike any you have ever heard. Connor explained of the arrangement “We had all had our own songwriting side projects when we were younger, but when we came together to play music — that’s when we were the happiest.” Sheehan added “I wanted to share this experience with my best friends. I knew we could go a lot further together than any of us could alone.”
If longevity for bands is determined by their ability to pull off their recorded material in a live setting, then SondorBlue is set up for a long, fruitful career. They have been aggressively touring all along the East Coast and make pulling off their complex harmonies and playing their intricate arrangements look easy. The band loves to play live. “It is one of my favorite things,” says Lewis. “It has been great to watch the songs develop as we take them out of the studio and onto the stage.”
“We’ve been lucky to connect with some great people on the road and they have been enormously supportive,” explains Halley. “We’ve been able to replicate some of our experience through social media, and it has been rewarding to engage and keep in touch with everyone we’ve met along the way.” It shows – the band’s single, “OPINIONS,” has over 173k streams on Spotify and a track off their 2016 REALOMETER EP release, “The Moon And You,” has over 194k streams.
