Their songs are a pleasant throwback to the kind of indie rock you probably listened to in the Pre-Postal Service world.

They’re from San Diego. Their Myspace Blog has more historical facts.

1954. says:

The demo was self made through an 8 tracker, and we’re not real savvy with mastering programs and what not, so we used a ripped editing program off the internet and used whatever Demo /Trial it would allow us. We used very cheap mics.

1954.’s music gives you the opportunity to compare them to a lot. It reminds me a lot of what’s being blogged about these days with a lofi edge that makes it way more approachable/listenable. There’s also some aspects that remind me about the best elements of the Go Team, old Interpol, and Q And Not U.

Their songs will leave a lot of people feeling like it’s either forgettable crap, or addicted to the sound that they manage to create. There’s a free internet demo at their myspace.
