WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT 'THE SOUND INSIDE':
"Brooklyn quartet In Flight Radio's blend of angular, atmospheric alt-rock has been perfected on their sophomore effort The Sound Inside...Their latest song "Red Flags" takes elements of their 2006 self-titled indie release, shoegaze, brit-pop, and a recently added guitar player to fatten up their sound to epic proportions. Enlisting the help of Brian Fulk (Rufus Wainwright), frontwoman Peira's soft and lustrous vocals are a fine complement to the angular, yet melodious power chords. Imagine a more effeminate Coldplay."

"Defying the low-fi indie rock stance of their fellow New York rockers (yes, most Big Apple rockers still aspire to be the next Strokes and/or Ramones), In Flight Radio is indeed a diamond in the rough on their delightfully overbearing sophomore effort. Akin to the big, brawny guitar driven bands of the UK (think Radiohead, The Doves, Stereophonics, and Oasis in the rare instances when they're not pilfering from their '60s ancestors) the Radio sum is far greater than the parts, which ain't bad either. Singer Peira hits all the high notes with the confidence of a veteran arena rocker while her mates, guitarist Saric, bassist Devin Krug, and drummer Mike Dawson keep it massive yet simple. The pop hooks are in great supply, especially in the punky "Somewhere In Between" and the anthemic stomper "Please." And in the modus operandi of all the aforementioned references, In Flight Radio has a flair for the dramatic as witnessed in the aptly titled "Yelling Up To The Sky" wherein Peira soars whilst the band damn-near blows the doors down. Move over Bono, you've got competition."
Tom Semioli, AMPLIFIER MAGAZINE
"Peira’s pliable vocals that take the music from a whisper to a scream, often within the expanse of a single song...Peira’s performances elevate these compositions to the extraordinary."
PERFORMING SONGWRITER
"If only such sweet, sincere songs pumped through the soundsystem on a sardine-can airplane ride!...Album opener and stand-out track "Red Flags" starts off with far-reaching vocals before clambering into a somber dream-pop opus. Equally textured and enticing are the power-chord tracks that follow, like "Somewhere In Between" and "Finish Line," and the tunes on which Peira's soft vocals dominate, like the guitar-light "I Am Not Awake." With a large, sweeping sound, The Sound Inside functions as a catch-all for fans that dig both the infectious hooks of radio-friendly rock and the intimacy of female singer-songwriters."
Lisa Hresko, CMJ.COM
"In Flight Radio's second album, The Sound Inside, is a glorious amalgamation of rooted indie-rock, sensational British anthems and a little bit of Brooklyn sunshine thrown in for good measure. This cool new album is a much needed breath of fresh air in the music world. It's traditional rock rhythm's and lead singer Peira's soaring vocals create a sensation of pure musical bliss. This is one band that has hit the mark. "
Scott, POPCULTUREMADNESS.COM
"“What U2 should be.†Pete Harris, INDIE SOUNDS NY
"Peira’s light and airy vocals are complemented by the harder-edged rock music played by the band. Her lyrics are also good, making for memorable songs, or at least songs you’ll want to listen to again. If you like rock, then next time you’re on a plane, slip on your headphones and listen to some In Flight Radio."
Jessica Chung, THECELEBRITYCAFE.COM
"In Flight Radio's new album, The Sound Inside, hooked me from the start. After listening to the album dozens of times, I find it hard to complain about anything."
Tracy Farnsworth, FUSSMAGAZINE.COM
In Flight Radio created waves with their 2006 self-titled debut - building a dedicated Northeastern US fanbase, and receiving accolades from hometown magazines, including Time Out New York, The Deli Magazine, and Big Takeover. The album reached number 10 on CMJ's top 200 most added chart and was featured on FUSE.TV, BILLBOARD.COM, ALLMUSIC.COM, REVOLVERMAG.COM, MUSICNATION.COM and more.
While there’s no argument that the band’s debut was promising and allowed the then trio to make a splash and build a name for themselves on the east coast, the group grew exponentially once the cycle of promoting and touring behind the self-titled debut ceased. “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 last 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, Peira’s 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. I’m so proud of the music on The Sound Inside, and much more like this expresses who I am, and who we all are musically.â€
In September 2007, the quartet entered the studio, and as the songs took shape, the band found their engineer - Brian Fulk (Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Teddy Thompson) at Brooklyn’s Monkey Boy Studios proved to be a perfect fit. With the pieces all in place, The Sound Inside (Release date: April 15th 2008, Last Broadcast Records) was completed by mid-December.
As for what’s in store for In Flight Radio upon the release of The Sound Inside, the group plans on racking up the road miles, and solidifying the new line-up even further. 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. It is a sound that can be felt as well as heard. It truly is The Sound Inside.
