Attention,
Give me attention
I want this in my mind
Attention,
Give me attention
I want this in my mind
Slowly,
Talk to me slowly
I want you in my mind
Slowly,
Talk to me slowly
I want you in my mind

Coming so close like I've never been before
Holding me tight and I feel like I'll implode
Do I want you? Or am I just a selfish bitch
I don't need anyone, not even myself

You're a fucked-up dictator
You do things against my nature
Philosophical atrocity
Sexual monstrosity
You're educated and delicate
And I am such a dread
Yet you still fucked me on my bed
Cause you so badly needed that

My eyes were empty
Motionless
But you'd still say I'm the worst

Disrespectful, give no affection
And always misbehaving
Call my mother once again
And ask her 'bout the weather then

You're a fucking hypocrite
Praising all the knowledge

Philosophers, lectures and books you've read
And you're still thinking with your dick

Saviours Are a Dangerous Thing

Evil's way
Will soon fade
Trust who cares
Through your darkest days

Trust his plan
He’ll lift you up
The good will rise
You'll see above

Faith Over Fear
Evil stays clear

Don’t be jealous
Don’t be mad
Justice comes
Don't be sad

He’ll give you heart
He'll give you life
A brand new start 
A brand new life

You may stumble
You may fall
His hand will catch you 
Through it all

The Technicolors are a musically sophisticated young rock band hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, who blend grand gestures of rock-n-roll with the swagger of brit rock and the songwriting prowess of greats such as Roy Orbison, Noel Gallagher and George Harrison. Their ambitious debut album Listener Deluxe is set for release on November 13, 2012 on Bay Area indie label, Tallest Man Records. 

The album was produced by 22-year-old lead singer, Brennan Smiley. Smiley grew up playing on records his father produced and had plans to move to Nashville to join the elite as a session musician, but fate had a different plan. Listener was recorded over a span of ten days in January at a new studio in Phoenix called Studio at the Farm. Fresh off the road, The Technicolors had found a new energy and were anxious to make their debut album with a solidifIed lineup of Mike "Nico" Nicolette (bass), Mikey Fanizza (guitar) an Kevin Prociw (drums) and Brennan (guitars and vocals). A Rock n Roll band from the desert. 

"The first record was not meant to be a band record," states Smiley. "I had recorded it before the band had really formed. I was getting ready to promote it and had no band, so I called some buddies to come play with me. After that first show together, everything clicked and that's when it all really began."

The Technicolors spent 2011 hitting it hard, tirelessly touring the nation and finding their sound as a band. With driving electric guitar riffs and a flair for the dramatic, the band started gaining a reputation of being loud...in a good way.

"We would show up to these tiny bars with a lot of gear and get really loud. We love big songs," says Smiley.

Soon they were selling out small clubs in their hometown of Phoenix and packing out shows at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles and their showcase at SXSW was over capacity as a group of fans was forced to watch from outside the venue. 

Citing influences like Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, and the Travelling Wilburys, The Technicolors focused on creating a dynamic album of expansive songs that can be musically complex and artistic and still reach a vast amount of people. Listener weaves ambient electric guitar beds with searing solos punctuated with Smiley's ernest vocals reminiscent of Oasis and Wolfmother. 

"Even though we focus on keeping our musical integrity, we don't want to take ourselves too seriously. We wanted to create an album that mirrored the dynamics of our live shows."

The result is a mature collection of effervescent rock songs that echo late night summer drives as a young vagabond who doesn't focus on the destination rather choosing to enjoy the journey at hand.

"Touring needs to be a lifestyle if you're going to keep up in this business", says Smiley. "And during the time that we're not touring, we'll be making records. It's just the minimum of what's expected this day and age, and we wouldn't have it any other way."
