The Postelles are part of an ideological bloodline that connects The Velvet Underground to the Ramones to Blondie and Television to the Walkmen, – artists with unique and varied sensibilities, certainly, but who have in common an allegiance to the unabashedly unadorned rock song. The Postelles were all reared on 50s and early 60s rock and roll – Buddy Holly, Sam Cooke – these were the bands they heard as kids, these were the bands they aspired to be, and these were the bands that brought them together in high school. By senior year the guys started booking themselves proper shows, playing residencies at Bowery Poetry Club, Sidewalk Café, and Le Royale. It was during one of these shows that the band met Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. Encouraged by Hammond’s enthusiasm, the band decided to get serious about writing more songs. With the release of an EP “White Night” and their new debut full album, the band defines itself both as an antidote to the dominant trend of quirky, self-referential rock and as a powerful new voice in the classic pop lineage.
