"Brooklyn quartet In Flight Radio's blend of angular, atmospheric alt-rock has been perfected on their sophomore effort The Sound Inside." FILTER

In Flight Radio has created waves with their 2008 sophomore release The Sound Inside building a dedicated Northeastern fanbase, and receiving accolades from national magazines, including Performing Songwriter, Filter, CMJ, and Amplifier. The thing that we always hear is weve got that big British rock sound, but the female vocal changes it up for everybody, explains the groups Brooklyn-born singer and guitarist, Peira. I definitely think that helps us stand out. Plus, there arent any divas in this band no rock star egos. Theres not a single perfectly messy, shaggy hairdo on stage when we play. The bands members are undeniably influenced by modern American indie rock, but have an equal fondness for the atmospheric guitar work of British bands such as The Doves and Radiohead.

While theres no argument that the bands self titled debut album was promising and allowed the then trio to make a splash and build a name for themselves, the group grew exponentially with the release of their sophomore album. With our debut, we had a different line-up, basically a different band all together, explains Peira. Devin [Krug] and I, the bass player, have always played together but the first incarnation of the band was as a trio. We added another guitar player [Peru native Saric], and Mike Dawson took over as our drummer. With the internal restructuring, Peiras knack for writing sweeping and memorable songs was supported by a more confident and weighty group of musicians. This group of people has created a new energy, and the music is coming out so much better. Im so proud of the music on The Sound Inside, and feel that it much more expresses who I am, and who we all are musically.

In September 2007, the quartet entered the studio, and as the songs took shape, the band found their engineer Brian Fulk (Martha Wainwright) at Brooklyns Monkey Boy Studios proved to be a perfect fit. With the pieces all in place, the album was completed by mid-December

On April 15th 2008, The Sound Inside (Last Broadcast Records) was born and the world took notice. iTunes featured the album in Whats Hot on the rock home page and Myspace featured the band in their Snocap featured download. Performing Songwriter featured In Flight Radio as a Top DIY Pick and Filter said that "Brooklyn quartet In Flight Radio's blend of angular, atmospheric alt-rock has been perfected on their sophomore effort The Sound Inside.

In Flight Radio spent the rest of 08 racking up road miles , playing clubs all over the east coast and outdoor festivals in front of thousands. As for whats in store for the band, they are currently working on new music to be released in 2009. We just want to play live and create new music as much as possible. And just have fun too enjoy it. When were 90, we want to know we had fun.

In Flight Radio has arrived at a place where they feel they can stay true to their indie rock roots, while also touching on the British rock anthems and shoegazing textures that they grew up listening to. Its a sound that can be felt as well as heard. It truly is The Sound Inside.
