notes

The Information is a band that is dependably wide awake in the middle of the night, hatching schemes and obsessing. Their debut LP, Mistakes We Knew We Were Making, provides the dark, frenzied, and futuristic soundtrack for a lifestyle that perpetually races through neon-lit streets at 4 AM. The jet-engine roar of Stooges-style guitars tangles with Japanese video game synth hooks while vocalist Max Fresen gives you a piece of his insomnia-addled mania. With a bratty and volatile mix of attitude, chic, and provocation, Mistakes caps a year of nonstop growth for this band.

The Information started 2004 as one of a handful of noteworthy newcomers in the Boston music scene, and closed the year at the head of the pack. Their following grew with support engagements for national acts like Hot Hot Heat, Louis XIV, Stellastar*, Razorlight, Kaiser Chiefs, Les Savy Fav, Swervedriver's Adam Franklin, and Dear Leader. When their two tracks on The Pill's Tomorrow Never Happened CD began to get commercial airplay, The Information headed back into the studio with a brace of ideas for a new record as visceral as and raw as their manic ambition, while remaining as sleek as and as smart as their collective stage persona. The resulting album is now in your hands.

    Since I purchased this CD I have listened to it an average of 2x a day. The music is simply addicting. Great lyrics, great beat, excellent guitar work, especially the bass. This could very well be the "next" band! I highly suggest you purchase this CD!

  • mesmerizing.

    i got this cd on monday. it's now wednesday, and i have listened to it, straight through, about 20 times. good grooves, great lyrics, catchy, but not too sugary, rock. seriously, it stops playing, and i press play again to start it over again. it's a smart, emotional album. thanks for making such a great album. i am recommending it left and right.

    Grab a mixin' bowl. Start with whipping a little new order. grind in some men at work. add a little pinch of bangles...JUST A LITTLE...don't spoil it. Stir in 3 cups of pan seared Franz Ferdinand. Now add the cream of Snow Patrol and blend gently. Garnish with Interpol lightly. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Set out to cool. And I mean COOL! Spread a thin !!! glaze and powder lovingly with joy division, wrap with white belt for table presentation and you've got THE HOTTEST ENGLISH BAND FROM BOSTON OF THE SPRING!!! And Kurt Russell agrees that this "Blend 'O Trouble" is the perfect opus to blow lines off a dead hooker's ass to. So put on your sunglasses, crack open a PBR and go buy The Information record today. On vinyl. Then go to The Model.
