Together, Keegan, Josh, Nick, and Chris have found a strong sense of camaraderie in music and each other, writing and performing as a cohesive unit. In one another, they have found balance, chemistry, and an intense and unwavering bond. And in music, they have found something worth fighting for, something with no limit or expiration date, something they believe in. Even in their title, “Vinyl Theatre”, the guys have strategically placed elements of the band’s dedication. Not only evoking a feel that fits their style, the name emphasizes musicianship and performance, and serves as a reminder to the band of their fans, who the band says they “ultimately do this for, on and off the stage.”
Claiming influences such as Two Door Cinema Club, The Killers, The Shins, and Death Cab For Cutie, Vinyl Theatre has taken what they’ve learned from these groups with a grain of salt, making a conscious effort to focus on their personal sound and progression being distinctly their own and separate from their influences. The band defines their music as modern indie rock with elements of electronica and pop, a sound that is “unique and differentiating.” Marked with bright synths, catchy hooks, lush vocal harmonies, and loud guitars, and described by critics as “mellowly loud”, “pop-savvy”, and “delightfully dancy”, Vinyl Theatre has a powerful sound all their own that has been well-received by fans and critics alike.
Having performed at venues and events such as Shank Hall, Bastille Days, and Yellow Phone Music Conference in Milwaukee, and Beat Kitchen and MOBfest in Chicago, the young group has had a fair amount of exposure to various fan bases in the past year. Vinyl Theatre has also opened for national touring acts twenty-one pilots, Royal Teeth, Parade of Lights, Makeshift Prodigy, Chappo, Five Knives, and Quiet Company. They have been featured on websites such as Frontiers LA, MadeLoud, JSOnline, and Milwaukee’s own Breaking and Entering as band of the month. Vinyl Theatre’s single “I Need You Here” was world premiered on California’s KX 93.5FM in Laguna Beach where their music is in regular rotation. Their music is also currently receiving heavy airplay in Europe, Milwaukee’s own FM 102.1 and WMUR, Marquette University Radio.
Their soon to be released EP, “Chromatic”, is not only a fun and upbeat album but a record to date of how the band feels they have grown and progressed in the year since their official start - from honing their art of songwriting, to continually strengthening their sound, to developing a powerful live show. With the strong and positive reception of “I Need You Here”, the group has high hopes for the album’s success and continued positive fan reception, believing their fans will hear their heart and commitment in every note. They hope their EP and unrelenting diligence will lead to more exposure and added momentum, propelling them through mile after mile, each one better than the last.
As of August 19th 2014, the band announced they had joined the Fueled By Ramen family. Their first full length album, "Electrogram" will be released the 23rd of September. While this album includes some of their songs from "Chromatic", there are also a bunch of new songs. They will also be opening for Twenty One Pilots for their upcoming "Quiet is Violent" tour.

GOLD
Vinyl Theatre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
oh, but you know
We exist just to live
Body and soul
Have we come here only for an ending?
Ask the sky, ask the moon
How they reflect
Someone else's own mood
We're same as the two
We're someone else's image
I found, i found my gold
Resond, resond my soul
We loved, we learned, we find
We live, we die, resond
And i've seen through distant seas
Where wild nights lose gravity
So race for the shore line
If you want more
Than those revered wild nights
We've expired for more
I found, i found my gold
Resond, resond my soul
We loved, we learned, we find
We live, we die, resond
I can feel it in my bones
So much left unknown
We continue to grow old
At least i have found my gold
I can feel it in my bones
So much left unknown
We continue to grow old
At least i have found
I found, i found my gold
Resond, resond my soul
We loved, we learned, we find
We live, we die, resond
(end)
The lyrics of the song Gold by Vinyl Theatre are reflective in nature and convey a message of self-discovery and finding one’s true purpose in life. The lyrics express the basic human need of searching for meaning and exploring the unknown to find the answers to the questions of existence. The lines, “We exist just to live Body and soul” display that human beings are not just physical beings, but also have a soul which desires satisfaction and fulfillment.
The lyricist invites us to question existence and our purpose in life by asking “Have we come here only for an ending?” The line “We’re someone else’s image” suggests that individuals can be easily influenced by societal norms and perceptions, and it's crucial to find our authentic selves free from external pressures. The lines, “I can feel it in my bones, so much left unknown” convey a sense of urgency to search for answers and find meaning in life.
As the song progresses, the chorus emphasizes the significance of finding one's "gold" and the need to respond to our souls. The phrase "I found my gold" implies a personal discovery, both of oneself and the purpose that comes with it. The chorus also acknowledges the inevitability of life's natural progression, "We loved, we learned, we find, we live, we die" and encourages people to take risks and seize opportunities to experience life fully.

I really like being subscribed to record label's channels like FBR, Hopeless, Fearless, etc. because it opens doors for new music. I saw this upload and just clicked it. Three hours later, I'm constantly wanting to listen to "Breaking Up My Bones" and have added about ten of their songs to my playlist on Spotify. So, thank you from a lover of new music. ✌🏼️
its complicated
I used to like fbr but everything on the record except for a few bands have been pushed to the side or dont hVe enough content control

Omg yes, breaking up my bones never gets boring! I first heard it when it was uploaded and had never listened to vinyl theatre before, but ever since then, I've been obsessed haha

Vinyl Theatre is such an underrated band that it physically hurts me knowing they are not in the big stage.

i came here from 2019 please listen to half alive, IN MY OPINION, they're so much better than twenty one pilots, despite that fact that Now, Not Yet sounds nothing like any top album
