Free Mobile Wallpapers Biography:
Integrity. It's often the first thing to get thrown overboard on a sinking ship, and while the music industry is far from sunk, it's doubtless listing to one side. And so, as an artist, it would be tempting to play it safe, to allow oneself to be swept in the direction of the prevailing winds and, in short, to do as little as possible to rock the boat. Well, that just isn't the Mobile way.
In uncertain times, there is one thing that's certain for the members of Mobile: "We all agree that it's time to roll up our sleeves and get things done - our way," so says guitarist and principle songwriter Christian "Criq" Brais.
These five Montrealers have, despite adversity in both their personal and professional realms since the release of their popular debut, Tomorrow Starts Today, redoubled their resolve to stay true to their own musical instincts, even if it means moving away from the relative safety of known formulas and into uncharted territory. In the creation of the sophomore Tales from the City, more than ever before, they let their heart be their compass.
A newer and truer direction was critical to the evolution of Mobile. "With the first record, we were kind of at the end of the wave of this '80s pop revival scene," says Criq, "and by being tied to that in some people's minds, we lost some credibility."
Vocalist Mat Joly concurs. "Because it was our first album it sounds like a first album. And like Criq said, we were part of that wave. But we wanted to prove that we're more than just an '80s retro band, and I think in recording Tales from the City we really had our own agenda and knew exactly what we wanted to do without trying or without taking notes about what's going on in the music world these days.
