The New Schematics

Nashville’s The New Schematics spent their first two years on the road, gaining a reputation as a live act with “the crowd control of street preachers” (Cougar Microbes) whose “passion for their art is palpable” (Valstlist). Centering around Cory Bishop and Michael Bare, the duo has a rotating cast of musicians on the road with them to bring their songs from the studio to the stage.

After playing 140 shows in over 50 North American cities, releasing a debut EP with “the markings of a seasoned classic” (Noisetrade), and garnering over 300,000 Spotify streams, they started 2018 with the catchy, honest indie-rock bop <a href="spotify:album:7iHsil2V8BtI0mVAMYPk6v" data-name="Who Do You Think You Are?">Who Do You Think You Are?</a> They followed it up with sparsely produced <a href="spotify:album:7CxEQ589BEUQRTl6UTTZB5" data-name="Prove Me Wrong">Prove Me Wrong</a> a song that &quot;is like a sunroom where you want to linger inside its warm message,&quot; (No Country For New Nashville). Next they released <a href="spotify:album:1uvqLQdyBI0Yxag26sDtBc" data-name="Small Talk">Small Talk</a>, the music video of which took the band across three cities in three days. Native Magazine writes that the song combines &quot;equal parts <a href="spotify:artist:6DCIj8jNaNpBz8e5oKFPtp" data-name="The Cars">The Cars</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7gP3bB2nilZXLfPHJhMdvc" data-name="Foster The People">Foster The People</a>...the kind of refined pop that’d be at home in <a href="spotify:artist:4LAz9VRX8Nat9kvIzgkg2v" data-name="Rivers Cuomo">Rivers Cuomo</a>&#39;s catalog.&quot;

According to The New Nine, the most recent single <a href="spotify:track:1OnlN2DE7hwSflLGzPEeuD" data-name="Automatic">Automatic</a> is &#39;seriously the most perfect summer song ever.&#39; Produced by Micah Tawlks of <a href="spotify:artist:6mE4w8P7BX8CrhM1QmpYaC" data-name="Myzica">Myzica</a>, this song clocks in at 168bpm.

As Loveless Magazine puts it: &quot;The New Schematics may just be 2018’s most driven and promising duo.&quot;
