The Daylight Titans are an Austin power pop combo that fuses intelligent lyrics with jangle and solid, driving rhythms and conjures images of latter day Smithereens and the Church.
"This is the kind of magnetic guitar rock that has sadly dissipated over the years since the 80`s indie American scenes fostered by Minneapolis, Athens, LA, and Austin- driving rhythms, raging, slashing guitars, and grayscale melodies that just seem to go well with a foul mood and a six-pack of PBR. There`s nothing fancy about their approach- the singer`s downcast vocals blend well with the sheets of electric guitar that envelope you on the opener "Stoked" before the gathering storm, the piledriving lead-and-rhythm intensity of "Whistling in the Dark (While Listening to Om)," smashes you in the gut. Like the army of guitar jangle bands that crawled the earth in the 80`s and early 90`s (think Miracle Legion, the Downsiders, and all the great, dark Tucson bands), Austin quartet Daylight Titans throw down thoughtful, dynamic songs fed by alternating piledriving rhythms with quieter but no less traumatic emotional terrain." Pop Culture Press.
"Daylight Titans are one of those cult bands which just have to be BIG. Each of these tracks reeks with pop sensibility and punches you in the gut with its sheer melodic power." Alternative Malta
