Key quotes

· 3 pulled

I'll allow it to be derivative if it whips, and a handful of Telescreens songs do, in fact, whip.

But this is not the kind of band that I ever find myself craving an hour-plus of music from.

New York based guitar rock band Telescreens have never released an album under an hour, but their third LP, Why The Lights Flicker, beats their own record, clocking in at ninety-seven minutes.
