The 71's

about

Anthemic pop hooks. Explosive guitars with buzzsaw riffs. A bashing, crashing rhythm section of brotherly love. And a sense of purpose fortified by a faith in the transformative power and community of rock and roll. Welcome to the loud, proud, wild and wonderful world of the 71s. The story begins with the debut full-length (2009’s ‘We Are Locomotive’) and gathers even more steam with ‘Start Again’, a hard-charging lead single about the unstoppable force of redemption. Along with its accompanying video – a hilarious ‘hostile corporate takeover’ of the aisles of an unsuspecting Wal-Mart – the band’s collective efforts were quickly noticed. The year ended with Houston’s leading alternative radio station (‘The Buzz’ – 94.5FM) naming the 71s “Best New Band”. Encouraged by the love of local media and a growing, loyal fan base hungry for new material, the band set its sights on the lofty goal of 3 EPs in a single year. The first – ‘Rock And Roll Reaction, Vol. 1’, released in October 2010 – was described by The Houston Press as “purely rock and roll, devil-may-care attitude…an unpretentious and sincere jamboree of power chords and youth energy”, and was met with the same kind of enthusiasm on the road as in their East Texas backyard. Further, ‘All Tied Up’ – ‘RNRRV1’’s unforgettable lead track of equal parts AC/DC and early Tom Petty – was selected by Houston’s CBS affiliate as the soundtrack tune for the Houston Texans, lending the band even greater visibility in the mark
