Austin Brit-rock band STEREO IS A LIE will blow your eardrums.

Laughing with Glynn Wedgewood from Austin Brit-rock band STEREO IS A LIE.

Funny as it may sound, Austin has our own Brit-rock band. Their name is STEREO IS A LIE, and they’re legit. One listen to frontman Glynn Wedgewood’s accent in the video, below, and you’ll know it’s true.

STEREO IS A LIE is loud and they rock, so it’s easy to compare them to Muse-but I wouldn’t say that’s accurate. To me, they’re more closely related to the 90′s alternative British pop scene, kinda like if Damon Albarn from Blur grew a pair, or if Noel Gallagher from Oasis stopped whining AND grew two pairs. And I dare you to go to one of their shows and try to leave with your hearing still in tact.

For the last 7 months, STEREO IS A LIE has been in and out of the studio working on their first album. They finish laying the tracks this week and then send it off to Chris Cline for mixing. Chris has done a great job at reigning in stage rockers Trail of Dead, so it will be interesting to see how well he can translate STEREO IS A LIE’s stage show in the studio.

Although I’ve only heard one track off the album [Scroll down for a listen!], I like what I’ve heard. More mature, it’s filled with more subtle layers than a rocking stage show will allow. I can’t wait to hear the full album!

WATCH: Earlier this week, we chatted with STEREO IS A LIE’s lead vocalist and guitar dude Glynn Wedgewood. In the 3.5-minute video, Glynn tells us a little more about working on the new album and how it sounds. You also get to peep some kick-a shades and hear Glynn’s killer accent.
