THEY'RE BACK!!

In a place where music holds the charm of the past, and the optimism of what’s to come...Cinema Stereo steeps in the balance. This Nashville based, high-energy alternative rock band brings vibrance and vintage musical backbone to the modern world that needs it most. Originally from Orlando, FL, the band draws from a diverse range of influences. Queen, The Police, Tame Impala, Aerosmith, and The Killers have lined this musical highway that guides the band’s raw emotion, driving rhythms, and captivating lyrics.

Constantly evolving from a fearless approach to creativity; drawing from diverse genres to craft a sound that’s uniquely their own, Cinema Stereo are making their mark as one of the most exciting new voices in rock music today.
