Extra Blue Kind melds pop sensibilities and unadulterated energy with the right amount of frenetic artistry to create a unique and accessible sound. Their infectious melodies, described as both anxious and cerebral, shatters the notion that popular, accessible music has to be shallow, trivial or watered-down.

Courted by L.A. managers after winning a monstrous radio conglomerate's battle of the bands prize package that included a spot on a bill featuring Stone Temple Pilots, Kid Rock, and Chevelle, a too-slick, studio creation and several months of regular rotation, the boys knew they were being groomed for the quick rise-and-fall

The whirlwind year in the grips of some of the industry's insiders made them come out swinging--resisting the quick fix and remaining true to what has gotten them this far: honest rock 'n roll and an unpredictable, live-wire stage show that continues to court new devotees to original, independent music.

Notable influences include, The Cure, The Pixies, the multi-faceted Dave Grohl, the lo-fi art rock of The Sea and Cake, The Cardigans and the melodic flavor of 60s pop.
