About the Artist
The Working Hour is an indie-pop band from Los Angeles, CA that plays music similar to artists like Weezer, OK Go, and Vampire Weekend. The band’s sound can been described as glowing, melodic power pop with big hooks and clean arrangements. The California quartet is helmed by lead singer Andy Riesmeyer's earnest day-in-the-not-so-normal-life musings of a smart-ass kid in a grown up world. Explosive melodies bookend storytelling with pointed references to daily life - the loudness of a stereo relating to the intensity of a romantic encounter. This is a band for driving with the windows down, beach side campfires & dreaming about that girl who lives at the end of the neighborhood cul-de-sac. -Jack Primavera for Bell-Roundel Press Download the newest EP for Free! http://soundcloud.com/epphonehome New music video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LekgoO_83_4Achievements

Unbreakable (1st Studio Album) is a remarkably polished, cohesive album... the record offers a variety of power-pop arrangements that are catchy and well-developed, complex and rich."
