TIMES NEUE ROMAN TALKING SPORTY EP + BEST EST. 2019 VIDEO
GLOBAL EP DIGITAL LAUNCH JULY 6 2010 | VIDEO AVAILABLE NOW
Live from “The End” – the band’s Kensington Market (Toronto)
basement studio – Times Neue Roman rock with a general tone and attitude of
teenage immortality. Comprised of an award winning poet, Arowbe Arowbe Arowbe (Robert
Bolton) and composer, Alexander The, TNR’s peerless ‘one of one’ sound has been
called “nintendo-punk-rap,” and “post-rap” (although the band prefers “Rap
Deco”) by media and supporters. Recent web and print media coverage includes:
Disco Belle, Salacious Sounds, Winnie Cooper, 1LOVETO, Perfect Porridge, Chart
Attack, NOW Magazine, NXEW, Exclaim!, Format Magazine, Montreal Mirror, CTV,
Sound Pollution, CoCo and Lowe.
Since debuting at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2008, Times
Neue Roman have been rousing crowds at basement jams, rooftops,
auto-garages, house parties, shitty pubs, glitzy clubs, CMW,
NXNE, the Juno Fest and out the back of a U-HAUL truck. They flaunt a live show
complete with wild theatrics, reckless moshing, tribal percussion, live visuals
and all of the bangers their fans are used
to getting loose to.
Times Neue Roman‘s new video, “Best est. 2019” splices
performance footage with
Coney Island Carnival relics. The nature of a Times Neue
Roman show makes it difficult to tell which footage is which.
July 6, 2010— Times Neue Roman release Talking Sporty on YYZ
Records, with promotional support from Pabst Blue Ribbon, and a coinciding
vinyl release with Art Metropole. TalkingSporty features the singles “Best Est.
2019” (featured on MTV, video onMuch Music, placed on an episode of CSI, and
currently tracking daily on CBC Radio 3), “Roq Roq” (featured in EA Sports’
Fight Night Round 4 video game and 30,000+ views on Youtube) and “Hands, No
Hands.”
"if you go to this show, you will get sweaty and
ridiculous and miss class on Friday morning"
-The Montreal Mirror
"Articulate, clever, and delivered with exact rhythm
and crystal clarity. With Mellow rhythms and cool composure, Times Neue Roman
have a solid identity around which they are steadily building fans. The
download and shuffle age is for musical omnivores. Genres are for
grandmas."
- Chart Attack
