The New Fidelity is an American mod/power-pop band founded in Long Beach, CA in 2005. The New Fidelity are heavily influenced by 1960s pop and rock, and most of their music is steeped in two-, three-, and four-part harmony. Bands including The Beatles, The Zombies, The Who, and The Beach Boys are obvious influences as well as 1980s mod revival and jangle pop.
The New Fidelity are listed on 2 annual "Hot 100" unsigned bands of the nationally published Music Connection Magazine lists, and are mentioned on National Public Radio's Off Ramp by KROQ-FM Los Angeles Deejay Rodney Bingenheimer as a favorite contemporary band. Festival performances include 3 appearances at the International Pop Overthrow Festival, and The High Rollers International Scooter Rally, held annually in Las Vegas Nevada for vintage Vespa and Lambretta aficionados who enjoy the 1960s style of music similar to The New Fidelity. Their 3 releases are distributed by Not Lame Recordings in Fort Collins, Colorado.
The song "No Way Back" from their second release "Tiny Slivers" appeared nationally on NBC on episode 2 of the prime time series Parenthood in early 2010 (Man Vs. Possum). In February 2008, 2 additional songs from Tiny Slivers, "Days When She Was Mine", and "2nd Once In A Lifetime Girl", appeared in the United States on ABC's Eli Stone on the opening scenes of Episodes 2 and 3. An early version of the song "No Way Back" from their first self produced, self-titled recording also appeared on The WB Television Network in 2005 on the nationally syndicated show Jack & Bobby. The program was later aired on The Australian Broadcasting Corporation and in other European countries. The song "First Day", also from their first release, appeared on nationally syndicated Fuel TV in a snowboarding series by Absinthe Films. The same song also appeared in a compilation released by the Village Voice owned Orange County Weekly in 2006. A Sony Pictures produced pilot for ABC, called Mr. Sunshine, includes the songs "Simple Things" and "Dark Eyes" from the 2009 "All Here Now" release. The show is currently pending for production in Fall of 2010.
