The band Winston and the Telescreen was formed and completed in 2004. They reside in the inland empire and for the past two years have played shows in the IE, OC, and LA counties as well as an occasional trip to San Francisco.
Their sound is what occurs when reasonably well-educated young men spend their afternoons listening to Beatles and Radiohead albums and their nights drunken dancing at local clubs to the Cure and Joy Division. Despite this, they are most often compared to Belle and Sebastian and Coldplay.
They have been known to attract fans of various styles and ages: discerning hipsters, youthful masses, and even uptight musicians.
Winston and the Telescreen is currently made up of five members: Founder Trevor Monks- drums, Genius Paul Akers- keyboard, Rising star James Breker- bass, Professor Brian Kaminskas- guitar, and Frontman David Tetz.

'a chaotic swirl of piano, funeral parlor organ and all-around pissiness, their music is good enough to back their mouths up'
-INLAND EMPIRE WEEKLY
'this is a twee-lovers dream band with waltzing guitar riffs, pretty keyboard lines and a singer who spins around as he plays tamborine. Trust me, when this band is picked up by much cooler bloggers and ends up on a Pitchfork year-end chart, you will kick yourself for missing last nights show'

'a refreshing collective splash of musical ingenuity and skill, something that isnt sensed so often, even in the indie world'

-MUCHO MAS PRODUCTIONS
'their sometimes happy, sometimes not, sometimes mellow, sometimes not attitude towards music jumped all over the map with sounds of Elliot Smith, Simon and Garfunkel, Coldplay, and Ben Folds all sneaking their way into the sounds being emitted from the stage'
-UCR HIGHLANDER
'It's an album nearly impossible to get tired of, with just enough variety so you marvel at the creative range'
