Urban soundscapes…. pulsating ambience….driving rhythms and sonorous melodies that will pull you from your seat and send you whirling through the neon darkness. Transit-Inc want to lead you on a journey through the next era of indie rock. The three piece outfit blends numerous genres of musical styles, with an intriguing fusion between rock, funk, electro and a beat that refuses to let you take their music sitting down! Brothers Anthony Castellano (lead vocals and bass) and Mark Cass (vocals and drums) had kicked around in the Sydney music scene since the mid 90’s in a variety of musical projects, paying their dues and honing their skills, but lacking a sound to set them apart from the myriad of bands on the scene. Transit-Inc’s first incarnation came about in 2005, but it wasn’t until they discovered their musical soul mate in Rob Russ (vocals and guitar), who helped them re-define how the Cass brothers thought about and engaged with music. Transit-Inc’s current line up emerged and with it, a truly unique sound that is distinct and familiar at once. Transit-Inc’s dynamic songs are already gaining attention from music aficionados, as evidenced by their vibrant, captivating “Sown” being voted as one of the Top Ten Songs in the Rock category of the 2007 Music Oz Awards. “Sown” was also featured as the February 2008 HotPick on Hotsource. The Drum Media described their sound as “a bombastic Modest Mouse”, and that’s just the beginning! Their music has been included on this year’s volume of the popular “Grow Your Own” compilation series, released by Foghorn Records, and the song “Start Up” has been featured in numerous videos for the High Five series of Extreme Sports, distributed worldwide by IMG Media. Their debut CD is due for release in April. Already, it has impressive credits, having been recorded by Craig Porteils (who has worked with Guns and Roses, Rod Stewart, Fleetwood Mac, and many others). The album was recorded at some of the top studios in Sydney, including Velvet Studios and Eargasm Studios, and mixed at Sterling Sound in New York. Produced by Novak Langer of Veracity Music, it promises to be one of the most exciting, original releases of 2008! Record labels are already beating down the door to get a first listen.
