The New EP from Victims of the New Math
“Heading to the Suburbs” features 4 new tracks of gritty, catchy lo-fi rock, inspired once again by our obsession with a 70’s sound that may never have actually existed. Ironically, the new EP is heavily influenced by our favorite artists that came of age in the 90’s - Guided By Voices and the Flaming Lips. So throw on your headphones, turn up the volume,. and join us on a brief musical adventure back in time!

BIO: Victims of the New Math is the performing name for Thomas Young (vocals, guitars, bass, and drums). Thomas has been making music since his teenage years in the late 1980's, and has been releasing music since 2006. Originally a duo, with Thomas being joined by his brother Joe, the band was formed with hopes of capturing the great AM rock sounds from their childhood. Never much for learning other people's songs, the brothers almost immediately tried their hand at writing. And, with a few small gaps, pretty much never stopped.
With several album and EP releases over the past 15 years, the band has incorporated other diverse influences ( Glam rock, New Wave, psychedelic rock, lo-fi rock, and indie rock) to create a unique sound that never quite fits prescribed genres or styles. Victims of the New Math deliver tight, vintage-sounding, riff driven rock and lush lo-fi melodies that sound both familiar and new at the same time.
