From Minneapolis

From last.fm:
The 757s: Can you really record two albums worth of material just a week after forming a band? For the four members of Twin Cities-based The 757s, the answer is “yes.” The 757s departed from the norm by recording their debut album after their very first practice session—with no written songs or extensive rehearsals. “Our model quickly became writing songs in the 10 minutes prior to recording them,” says the band’s founder, Seth Zimmerman. “The idea was to put together a group of friends that could play and get along, which seemed reasonable at the time.” Read more about The 757s on Last.fm.

From last.fm:
The drums smack you in the face first, like a hailstorm with no sign of letting up. Then, as waves of harmonies emerge unexpectedly, a joyous sensation sets in, as if someone just snapped you out of a fever dream. The beat-driven, orchestral-pop epics unfold like an audio scrapbook of memories from the life of Grandchildren songwriter Aleksander Martray. “I was restless from a really young age,” explains Martray, the son of a high-ranking military officer, born on an Army base in Germany and raised on both sides of the Atlantic.
