Straight from the offices of Publicist Josh Bloom I received this 7" from The Sunshine Factory... The Sunshine Factory originated in Palmdale California as just a glimmer in the eyes from brothers Corey and Jordan Judge. Jordan had learned to play guitar and had been in a few bands before convincing his brother to form a band. They began auditioning other players . They soon hooked up with John Karwowski and Tony Hammons the band was now complete. They soon caught the eye of Steve Martin the head of Cul De Sac Kids Records and they released this 2 song 7". The music is what you would expect from a band called Sunshine Factory a lazy haze of love and life.. With an additional bit of sorrow that brings you down to earth.. I was impressed by Tidal Waves as the song sounded like something that Dan Hicks minus the Hot Licks would have written... - Punk Globe
Here comes some awesome dreamy pop from Los Angeles band Sunshine Factory. In the world of music, the band is fairly young, only fully coming together in 2009 as a complete band. They would self release a demo and start playing as many clubs as possible. Sunshine Factory just released a debut 7-inch with side A containing the song "Lower Away" and side B with the track "Tidal Waves."
The track "Lower Away" is a brilliant nugget of pop that delivers right to your ears. The piano is arranged perfectly and was my main draw to the song. It has this happy bounce to it that will sure have you playing the song numerous times. You can hear influences from everything like The Beach Boys, The Fray, and even Radiohead. Listen to "Lower Away" below.
- Oh So Fresh!
With a band name like Sunshine Factory, optimistic tunes aren’t far behind. Brothers Corey and Jordan Judge along with John Karwoski and Tony Hammons from Palmdale offer their take on beachy pop music and in a scene where lo-fi gear and distortion is now amusingly associated with the genre, their solid throwback vibe to the Beach Boys is a breath of fresh air. It will take more than a few apathetic hipsters to taint the good name of power-pop. Sunshine Factory sounds like they’re on our side. - BuzzBands LA
