The 'Band Bio' is where we are supposed to tell you about how the band was formed (we met in various ways and started playing some music), what the band sounds like (Rock.....Pop Rock), our accomplishments (we've managed to record an 8 song record...which we're rather proud of), and what our goals are (to play....and play often). After reading these bits of details you are supposed to have an overwhelming urge to hear our music. Did it work? We're not very good at talking ourselves up...so......

After reading these bits of details you are supposed to have an overwhelming urge to hear our music. Did it work? We're not very good at talking ourselves up...so...for better or worse...this is where we will put all press clippings: Creative Loafing - Published 11-21-07"Crafted with a strong ear for multi-part harmonies, and an obvious fondness for gentle synth and keyboard baubles, the T-Fields' user-friendly melodies land somewhere between Beulah's quirk and Coldplay's orchestral swoon on the sounds-like meter." - SchachtCharlotte Observer - Published 12-16-07"The debut 8-song album by Charlotte foursome Transmission Fields aptly introduces itself with a memorable melody and strikingly poetic lyrics. It remains consistent throughout. Balancing whimsy and aching, the group’s hummable pop-rock hooks recall classic R.E.M. or ‘90s alternative pop such as Matthew Sweet. “Hero,” on the other hand, veers towards Superchunk-style indie-rock. “Days of Waiting” builds a beachy-bluesy intro into a melancholy rock chorus reminiscent of Verses. Neitzel’s voice glides easily into his upper register while flanked by nicely understated harmonies. The band maintains its own sound throughout, yet “Words” is laced with shades of Americana due to Neitzel’s slightly twangy phrasing (especially on “Run”) and the warmth of dreamy shoegazer pop." - Courntey DevoresCreative Loafing - Published 1-12-08"The Transmission Fields' mood-laden, echo-harnessed, harmony-laced and melody-tinged power pop has been evolving nicely over the past year. The Charlotte collective's music gels like they are long-running veterans, as exhibited by the quartet's loosely-wound yet strong 8-track debut Words, Numbers, and Phonetic Sounds released last fall." - Shukla
