About Me

On the Victrola
On the Victrola mixes elements of pop, punk, hardcore and comes out as infectious powerpop...For a band named after the early gramophone, On The Victrola sounds pretty damn high quality...brimming with pop punk hooks, layered vocals and bombastic breakdowns...impressively executed and artfully recorded ...
Review by Ben Johnson from SILIVE.COM
Thank you so much for visiting the On the Victrola Myspace profile. This myspace is run by me, Brett. I started OTV in March of 2006 and it has gone through many incarnations since than. I am the sole member/founder of the band and play every instrument you hear on the recordings, but from time to time you might see some friends of mine performing with me on stage for certain tours and appearances.
I get a lot of messages everyday, especially when I post bulletins, so please don't take it personal when I don't get back to them. I promise that I try my best to answer as many questions as I can. Here is a list of the most frequently asked questions and their respective answers. Hopefully, this will weed out the monotonous ones.
Please READ THIS prior to asking:
Q-When is OTV coming to my town?
A-All confirmed show dates on listed on this Myspace page.
Q-What is a Victrola?
A-A Victrola is a brand of phonograph (record player)
Q-Who are you?
A-Are you kidding. One look at the page and it's obvious.
Q-Why did you add me?
A-That's easy. I added you because I want to share my music with the world one person at a time.
Q-Hey, What's up?
A-I really don't know how to answer this question time and time again. The latest blog is probably the best answer to this question.
Always remember to be courteous. Do not post spam or negative comments because they will be deleted and you will be blocked.
Love you guys!

Press:
Piano hooks and driving drum beats on tracks like "That Double Crossing" and "Drink Up Bottoms Up," forever electrocuted with heavily distorted guitars and Thomas' forceful and melodic delivery, would fit in easily on a playlist with Fall Out Boy. The more you listen to Thomas' wordy songs and their many twists and turns, though, the more you realize this is a dude with his own unique take on the things around him and the determination to keep composing. If the show is anything like the recordings, On The Victrola delivers a spectacle.
