New Collisions – Over

Backed by a pantheon of rock and indie elite, New Collisions is getting ready to take over the world with their thought-provoking brand of pure power-pop-new-wave-punk. After being discovered by Greg Hawkes of the Cars less than a year into their existence, they were asked to tour with Blondie and the B-52s. When the tour wrapped, they went right to recording The Optimist (October 5th, self-released). With the help of famed producers Sean Slade and Paul Kolderie (The Pixies, Radiohead, Dinosaur Jr.), New Collisions were able to tell an oddly uplifting tale of fractured lives through dark storytelling and refreshing sounds.
