LINUS

So I set out for the sea that I saw on TV.

About Me

LINUS! has been a diehard Hawaii based rock band for the past 6 years, and we have no intention of turning our amps down any time soon. If you like what you hear, please let us know in one form or another. We love making new friends, keeping old ones, and playing our brand of music. The reason we've been around for so long is simple: we believe in our songs, and we think you will too.-------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Our first full-length CD is called The Construction. It was released in 2005. You can purchase our CD through paypal by clicking on the button below:

08 Impersonal Supertribe
09 Actual Air
10 Tears Fall
The Reviews:
"This first full-length CD puts Linus right on the money. All tunes have a raw edge of hope and optimism. Earnest rock that's easy on the ear, with structure and focus."
-- Wayne Harada (Honolulu Advertiser)
"This is smart music in terms of texture and construction, ranging from simple, stark arrangements to fuzzed-out noise. It's the Cars meets My Bloody Valentine, with an occasional nod to Radiohead."
-- Gary C.W. Chun (Star Bulletin)
We're in the studio right now (well DEENiri still is) recording the last tracks for the newest CD. When we finish it, it should be released within the next few months.
