While the rest of the music industry has found a new best friend in the vocoder and merely continues their long-standing alliance with the synthesizer, The Perfects are one of the few bands that seamlessly meld those futuristic sounds with the melodic core of yesterday. Echoing the works of Duran Duran and The Cure, The Perfects are quickly cultivating a fan-base as rabid as those in the early days of music videos, when their inspirations ruled the airways. Heading into the studio with Nic Hard (The Bravery, The Church), The Perfects came back with the self-titled EP that won over critics and new fans alike. DJ Richard Vission, whose work often appears on the top of the Billboard charts, did the remix for the song "Shipwrecked." Following the EP, The Perfects released their debut album Future Automatic, which was praised by critics and hailed as “pop genius” by Revolt Magazine. Coupling strong records with exciting, frenetic live shows, The Perfects proved themselves to be more than just another studio act.Following the disasters in Japan, The Perfects, along with prolific stars like Sara Bareilles, Tori Amos, Josh Ritter and Ani DiFranco were chosen to take part in the Songs of Love for Japan compilations, with proceeds donated to Shelter Box to aid in relief efforts. The featured track in the compilations, “New Life” is part of The Perfects new album Many Nights, released in the summer of 2011. The first single "Girls That Dance," digitally distributed by Interscope, shot to #1 on the Indie Charts for Top Song and maintained a position in the Top 5 for 4 months in a row. With Nic Hard returning to man the boards, Many Nights has introduced The Perfects to a new wave of fans. In addition, the new album offers remixes from Grammy award winning producer Chris Vrenna, DJ Richard Vission, Lucian Walker, DJ Jen Lasher. Pete Jones from Public Image Ltd. makes a special appearance on guitars for the track “The Hidden.”With all the fervor surrounding The Perfects, it’s no surprise that Kings of A&R, an industry leader in finding hot new talents discovered them. Shortly after, Bunim/Murray Productions reached out for a licensing deal in 2010 and renewed in November 2011 for a plethora of current and brand new shows, including Keeping Up with the Kardashians , Khloe & Lamar (working title), Kendall Kardashian's Sweet 16 Special (MTV), Kourtney & Khloe Take NYC , The Real World , The Bad Girls Club , Love Games (Bad Girls spinoff) , Best Ink, and The Controller (From EA games). The Perfects also debuted their first music video to high praise from their fan base & critics during October 2011 at CMJ, with a worldwide debut on MTV.com on January 5th, 2012 for their smash single "Girls That Dance" directed by Jacques Cook.
