Retisonic

Hailing from the punk-pop neighborhoods of Washington, D.C., Retisonic is comprised of ex-<a href="spotify:artist:1GrZU2efRLsDsGv8jm1cl9">Bluetip</a> guitarist Jason Farrell, bass player Jim Kimball, and drummer Joe Gorelick of <a href="spotify:artist:6cl9yUHoyz2NWdCZz5yZES">Garden Variety</a> fame. Both Farrell and Gorelick had spent most of the 1990s touring the world with the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:5E2rtn57BM2WPjwak4kGd5">At the Drive-In</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4zYpizxJGv5E1E2dEYoolu">Burning Airlines</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2yEwvVSSSUkcLeSTNyHKh8">Tool</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:0ZcJYGAQ2R3w7BWzbDDGDx">the International Noise Conspiracy</a>. Once road life reached a pondering calmness, Farrell and Gorelick realized it was time to move beyond their respective bands so they could musically refuel. Retisonic was born in 1997 and a new spiky new wave/punk sound was crafted. Silverthree, out of the neighboring state of Virginia, inked the band a deal in 2002; a tour with <a href="spotify:artist:03xcT10aipgYbYqusG7GWY">Jets to Brazil</a> coincided with the release of Retisonic's debut, Lean Beat, the following spring. Return to Me appeared in spring 2004. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, Rovi
