context_page_description: The New Electric Sound is an American rock band from Provo, Utah. The band draws inspiration from early rock and roll and surf rock bands like The Surfaris, Dick Dale and Buddy Holly and modern influences like The Strokes and The Kooks. They are recognized largely by their vintage musical approach and visual aesthetic.
context_section_description: The band formed in late 2011 in Provo, Utah and began touring the Utah and Idaho regions. They released their self-titled debut album in August 2012 from June Audio (Neon Trees, Fictionist). The album was mastered by Reuben Cohen (Slumdog Millionaire, Snoop Dogg, The Cranberries, Bruno Mars). By late 2012, the band gained notoriety as one of the most notable Provo artists.
  In July 2012, the band took first place in Provo's Rock the River contest, judged by notable figures of the music industry such as Quinn Allman of The Used, Megan Joy of American Idol, Jimmy Chunga of X96, Ryan Innes of American Idol and Amy Whitcombe of The Sing Off.
  In September 2012, the band performed in Provo's Rooftop Concert Series with Provo band Fictionist. They have also performed with other notable artists such as Imagine Dragons, The Moth & the Flame, Fictionist, Vacationer, Con Bro Chill, Desert Noises, The Neighbors and Can't Stop Won't Stop.
  In September 2012, The New Electric Sound's song Dream Interlude was placed in one of the episodes of the web series Tailgate 32, and the next month, the song Suitcase was placed in a Smart Car advertisement. Lindsey Stirling has also used The New Electric Sound's songs in her YouTube videos.
