ABOUT POMPEII

Imagine if you somehow found a way to release your heartfelt admissions and fears with grace and intelligence. Enter Austin quintet Pompeii, whose subtly haunting indie rock anthems are laden with smart, soaring instrumentals and just the right amount of discretion. Think if Coldplay wasn't pretentious. Think if Death Cab had skipped years of lo-fi bedroom recording and gone straight to honing their pop sensibilities. Pompeii has a gift for telling you what you already know. They just make it sound better.

AMERICAN SONGWRITER (4 stars)
"solid 10-for-10 smartly performed debut. They came. They saw. They
kicked ass. Gently"

NPR's "SONG OF THE DAY"
"Sophisticated, shimmering instrumentation and moody atmospherics are
rarely executed so effectively..."

THE TRIPWIRE
"Pompeii's debut is a well-crafted collection of pop songs that are
mighty hard to resist."

Oklahoma, We Love You!

This Saturday, we'll be back in the good old OKC, playing at The Conservatory. We had such a good time last time, so come help us find the "Lost Lake"again. Also, thanks for the feature in Boyd Street Magazine. We'll see you soon. xo, Pompeii

New Record Update

Hey folks,

Just writing to let you know we're alive and well in 2008. I'm sitting here at our practice space in Austin, Texas. We cannot wait for you to hear the new songs. It's been a little slow-coming, but it will ultimately pay off in the long run. I hope everyone is having a great new year so far. I'm anxious to get back on the road again and hang out. Anyway, I'm going to get back to work. Keep in touch.

xo,

Dean

Writing a New Record (and so much more)

That's right! We have begun writing for our new record, which is scheduled for a spring release date. We're already getting excited about the way the songs are coming along and we think you will be pleased.

Also, a reissue of Assembly will be coming out this fall, along with bonus features.
NOT ONLY THAT, but it is set to be released in the U.K. Australia and Germany.

Pompeii, Funnily enough, that press release (for once)
on your billboard is so true. You guys make tight tunes
with beautiful harmony/melody and I cannot wait for
your next record. I hope that you release your new
album in Australia. And back it up with a tour
too! All the best with recording. I eagerly anticipate
hearing your new material! Muchos love, Chris
