Telescreen was formed in the spring of 2007 by members of Codeseven and vocalist Jared Draughon from Classic Case. Both bands went on hiatus and but by some alignment of the stars, they met and started Telescreen. The band transmits the same space rock sound as Codeseven once did, but something sounds calmer and stranger, in a good way of course.

In October of 2007, Telescreen released “The Solar Sea” as a digital EP. But they had an odd way of distributing it. Fans of the band can got a personalized Paypal link that allowed them to make money by offering the EP (7 songs) to their friends. When one of their friends used the link to buy the TELESCREEN EP, that fan made 100% of the profits from the sale.

The EP is a DRM free digital download and goes for just $5.99. After Paypal takes its cut of 47 cents, the remaining $5.52 goes directly into the fan’s Paypal account. The band never sees or touches the money. Also, their new split 7inch with Damn This Desert Air (ex-Nora, Instruction, Ex-Number Five members) is now available. Its part of the KOI splits series and it features the song “The Solar Sea (Asteroid Remix).”
