Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, Vinyl Station is an up and coming indie rock band who bring an intimate introspective feel with epic songs that draw you in, and bloom to fill stadium stages.
Vinyl Station kicked off 2024 by steadily releasing singles – “Here Comes Your Ghost,” “Why Do You Wait,” “End of the World” and “Nothing Yet” – which have all been added to more than 3,983 Spotify playlists collectively (as of April 2024). The full EP ‘ANSWER SLOW’ dropped April 19, 2024 to rave reviews. More singles and a full-length album is scheduled for later in 2024.
In February 2024, they won a Cover Nation contest, beating out hundreds of other acts with their cover version of Matchbox Twenty’s “Push.” They even received a shout out on X (formerly Twitter) from Matchbox Twenty themselves.
Beginning in 2010, this band has maintained a blistering pace. They play live constantly, one year topping out with 394 live shows. They increased momentum when they were selected to open for Counting Crows and Rob Thomas on their tour, playing to audiences of up to 10,000 people.
Their unique and epic sound evokes the best elements of U2, The National, Coldplay, Band of Horses, and The Killers.
Vinyl Station Are:
Matthew Thornton – Lead Vocals, Guitar
Roy Cameron – Drums
Sturgis Waters – Guitars
Patrick Andrew – Bass, vocals
“Vinyl Station prove they are a musical tour de force who have delivered an absolute work of art with “Answer Slower”
Vinyl Station not only captivates with [their] music, but also with [their] ability to tell universal stories. The band promises to be an authentic and strong voice in indie rock, inviting listeners to a world where music connects and expresses.
“A bona fide epic that ventures from subdued intimacy through to larger-than-life vigor, “Why Do You Wait” is an Odyssey that covers the full spectrum of sound from muted to mighty. Reflecting its titular lack of a question mark, “Why Do You Wait” is a statement: this AZ-based ensemble is a force to be reckoned with in the world of indie rock.”
“Armed with a huge vocal and the kind of melody that slowly breaks its way into the listeners’ collective counciousness, this is near perfect pop/rock – Timeless adult oriented sounds that present a band about to eclipse their previous work.”
“Vinyl Station has this real special almost otherworldly energy about them, and it is certainly present in their latest single “Here Comes Your Ghost ” which, is out today, (December 8th ) via H1 Massive. … [It’s] a solid well written rock song that you can’t help but want to hear again and again . Definitely a song you need to hear … trust us your ears will thank you.”
“With more new music just around the corner as part of the Answer Slow EP and beyond, “Here Comes Your Ghost” is just a tiny taste of what’s to come and one that, at least on this single, exquisitely embodies both Sam’s Town-era The Killers and U2 circa The Joshua Tree within its’ four minutes and change.
Patrick Andrew and Roy Cameron’s bass and drum work respectively is utterly enrapturing and practically hypnotic with the way it encircles Sturgis Waters and Matthew Thornton’s guitar refrains with Thornton delivering an earnest and impassioned vocal performance on a song that’s a fitting introduction to your new favorite band…”
“Vinyl Station, with its arena-ready, cerebral indie rock that harkens back to the songwriting ambition and grandeur of the likes of U2, Coldplay, The National, Band of Horses, and other luminaries, is ready to take that next step into our hearts and playlists.”
“[Rob Thomas’] opener, Vinyl Station, had the cool kind of indie-rock sound you hear on series on The CW or young adult-oriented films. ”
