The members of Nashville-by-way-of-Orlando rock band Cinema Stereo have been playing together for years, and they had the luxury of toiling in private as they worked out the kinks in their sound. Now they're ready to bring their vibrant, modern-vintage rock 'n' roll to the masses.
Take it from me: My band, Ne’er-do-well, has shared the stage with Cinema Stereo twice in Austin, and both times they've won the crowd with their fiery twin-guitar leads, soaring hooks and infectious stage presence.
Singer/bassist Ian Rayha, guitarists Will Sawyer and Sebastian Borysek and drummer Luke Pate stopped by 'Top of the Hill' to discuss the new Cinema Stereo EP 'Can't Get Close Enough,' the grind of DIY touring, the small markers of success that motivate them along the way, and why at this point in their fairly young career, they've already come too far to give up.
