With a backstory that rivals the Kings Of Leon and a sound bred from David Bowie, T. Rex, and Depeche Mode obsessions, Hollywood duo Actress are the antidote to your waning faith in arena-sized dance-rock (seriously B-Flo, get rid of those wings). Born to a pair of "nomadic gospel singers," brothers Aaron and JoshFicchi formed the band in Chatanooga, TN before making the jump to L.A., an inarguably better base for a pair of guys making bombastic new wave. We've picked them up for our in-house digital label and are excited to be releasing their Dress It Up In Stereo EP today, four tracks of glitzy, ambitious hooks smeared with Casio sheen and anchored by a thankfully huge drum sound. Big drums are cool again! Grab all of the tracks below and follow the band on Twitter right here.

Sounds like: The Killers, Phoenix, Muse
