About The Pass

The Pass are an electro pop band based in Louisville, Kentucky. After recording their first EP, Colors, in a bedroom studio The Pass joined Sonablast! Records and released their debut album BURST. This was followed in 2011 by a constant touring schedule including sold out dance parties across the country and opening slots for bands ranging from Cage the Elephant to Chiddy Bang. Mixing elements of new wave, electro pop, and psychedelic rock with haunting melodies and dance floor ready beats, The Pass have created a sound entirely of their own. Pretty Much Amazing says, "The Pass sound like Phoenix meets Passion Pit if they were both messed up on acid: a louder, messier rock band whose infrastructure depends on electro pop. The more I listened to it, the more apparent it became that the Pass are spectacularly unique."
The band is releasing their second studio album MELT on November 6, 2012.
