ATTENTION SYSTEM

About ATTENTION SYSTEM

ATTENTION SYSTEM have managed to fuse electronics, post-punk and '80s synth pop creating a sound that is fluid and marketable, familiar yet different, sinister yet playful. Created during the sweltering Atlanta summer of 2008, Attention System is a band synthesized from free radicals of rock and electronica bonded together in a tight, durable polymer. They released their first album, Wait for My Signal, in the second quarter of 2009 to general critical acclaim. They were awarded the “Best New Rock Act” that same year by the readers of Atlanta music and lifestyle magazine Creative Loafing.

The band spent 2009 and 2010 performing regionally in the southeast, rapidly developing a reputation for dynamic, energetic live shows replete with a full, home-engineered modular robotic light and sound apparatus.

Their second effort, the EP Four Days at the Speed of Light, was released in 2011 to general and critical acclaim in concert with Atlanta’s Dragon*Con festival and celebration. The band’s sound grew and changed with the sophomore release; soundscapes and textures began to play a larger roll across the four tracks, even while retaining a punchy, rhythmic, and danceable core.

Their second full-length album, Incoming!, is slated for the second quarter of 2013. The band has been playing steady shows and, when not actively traveling, engineering Incoming! in their Atlanta studio. The record promises a heavier dose of the pounding synthetic bass lines and the beautiful, soaring guitar the band’s been known for since its inception.

Attention System is Brian Fisher (vocals, keys), Joshua Broughton (guitars, vocals), Jonathan Davis (guitars), Chris Edmonds (bass guitars), and Jason Curtis (drums).
