Select Start

Evolving from three piece garage punk to four piece pop punk to five piece synth-infused power pop, its six members now bring an Alternative and Indie Rock amalgam, with appeal to even the upper end of "all ages".

After seven years DIY, several hundred shows, and over 50 songs, in 2011, they start the second half of their musical career, joining Unrivaled Management's roster.

To celebrate their May 2011 District Lines Go Radio tour, they've posted, "Hold Your Ground", showcasing two equally gifted lead singers with vocal harmonies, clever lyrics and a catchy melody which just begs for you to sing along.

NOTABLE QUOTES +"With pure talent, great senses of humor, the ability to make even the newest of fans feel like old friends and a down-right kick a$$ live show, it’s only a matter of time before these Tampa boys make it big and then I can say, “I knew them back when…” - examiner.com tampa bay music + "Credit countless hours spent tirelessly working MySpace, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. That’s the true key to the band’s enviable position as one of Tampa Bay’s most popular acts." Tampa Bay Times +"Easily one of your new favorites if you love the classic powerpop exponents Jimmy Eat World and The All-American Rejects" - silentsoundwaves.com + "They write radio friendly songs" - thedailychorus.com +"Producing a very tight sound, it's inevitable they will be offered a deal shortly" - hifipunk.com +""Select Start has played here numerous times and they are one of my favorite bands. Not only is their music catchy, stage performance tight, energetic and on point, they are fun to have because they make every show feel like a house party." - Kevin Burns, The Talent Farm Owner
