The ACBs are an indie pop band from Kansas City. They’ve released three albums: 2007’s “S/T”, 2011’s “Stona Rosa” and 2013’s High Dive debut “Little Leaves”.
They’ve been around the block – been on your block, most likely – having toured the Midwest and East Coast, playing with bands like Starfucker, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Portugal the Man and Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin — plus SXSW in 2012 and CMJ in 2013.
The ACBs won “Best Pop Band” at the 2012 KC Pitch Awards, have had their music featured on MTV’s “The Inbetweeners” and Showtime’s “Shameless”, played Daytrotter and have turned heads on the blogs.
“The bottom line is that The ACB’s are interested in kicking out the kind of jams that you can enjoy on a physical as well as cerebral level. Melody, harmony, rocking and rolling—music with emotion that compels you to dance in maybe even not such a cool way. The opposite of all that robotic new wave bullshit that’s finally starting to pass.
So yes. Harmony. Dancing. Fun. Cool people that aren’t pretentious. Embracing your insecurities. Maybe sweating a little bit but not so much that it becomes gross for the other people in attendance. This is what The ACB’s stand for. Please come see them (us).”
– David Hudnall, KC Pitch
“The ACBs write punchy, summery pop tunes that signify goals more satisfying and longer-lasting than a three-minute radio-ready sugar high.”
– Timothy Finn, The Kansas City Star
The ACBs: Konnor Ervin (lead vocals, guitar); Bryan McGuire (bass); Andrew Connor (guitar); Kyle Rausch (drums).
