1955 Sonoma & San Francisco In a small countryside studio just north of San Francisco, in late 2012, a group of musicians gathered for late-night sessions and crafted what would become the 1955 sound: lean tight songs with a cinematic sweep to them, propelled by a stripped down garage rock vibe and an unbridled live energy. A throwback to the simplicity and clarity of early rock and roll songwriting, the songs recall the energy of the bands’ heroes (Velvet Underground, Nick Cave, Bob Dylan) but bristle with a modern, moody edge along the lines of Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys, The Strokes, and the Walkmen. Echoes of the mysterious year that gave them their name cut through their pop/rock sound to reveal a nod to the past. 1955’s tracks The Big One by 1955 published on 2017-07-22T17:08:07Z Morning Song by 1955 published on 2016-09-15T20:47:25Z How'd You Come Here by 1955 published on 2016-04-12T14:23:27Z Glory Days by 1955 published on 2015-08-05T20:19:39Z Upside Down by 1955 published on 2015-01-26T20:45:29Z Melody by 1955 published on 2015-01-26T20:45:27Z Maddening Ways by 1955 published on 2015-01-26T20:45:26Z Gloria by 1955 published on 2015-01-26T20:45:24Z
