Whether they're conjuring dreamy pop harmonies or turning out soulful beats, Los Angeles based SO & SO is not your average troupe of ordinary indie pop musicians. With their debut album ASAP set to hit November 15th, SO & SO transcend traditional pop and undulate gracefully from trip-hop to rock and indie pop to electro-fusion. With the incredible award winning multi-platinum producers Rob Wells, Damon Sharpe and newcomer Justin Glasco on board, the California quintet comes together to exude propulsive energy that's innovative, fresh and sonically all-their-own on this incredibly exciting upcoming release. The band has teamed up with Us Weekly & Ian in Your Ear<http://www.usmagazine.com/moviestvmusic/ian-in-your-ear> to exclusively premiere a first listen of the incredibly catchy track, "What's The Use<http://www.usmagazine.com/moviestvmusic/news/hear-an-ex-idol-finalists-debut-single-2011238>", listen to it here: http://bit.ly/rhuA7e.

SO & SO came to fruition when singer Amie Miriello (Dirtie Blonde) and guitarist Jay "Raisin" Dmuchowski (Dirtie Blonde) joined forces with producer Rob Wells at ATV in Canada to compose a songwriting trio and sell the tracks to other artists. However, after the first few tracks were cut they realized that they had stumbled onto something very special, a novel sound Amie describes as "sexy indie pop with real soul," a sound they wanted to take on themselves. That batch of tunes would eventually become the inspiration for their upcoming full length, ASAP, but SO & SO weren't quite complete just yet...

While playing a gig at LA's Molly Malone's, Amie stumbled upon Brandon Rogers a top 12 finalist on Season 6 of American Idol, and was immediately smitten by his effortless vocals. While Brandon was wholly focused on his solo career, he quickly recognized their special and electric vocal chemistry, accepting Amie's offer to join SO & SO without hesitation. Drummer Adam Hanson and bassist Bana Haffar round out the band and fully connect the dots between pop palatability and dirty soul, a unique, one-of-a-kind dynamic heard throughout ASAP.

Their brilliant upcoming debut showcases a whirlwind of emotion juxtaposed with poignant poetic rumination. On "Heart Beats Slow" acoustic guitars growl into a powerful chorus, while "What's the Use<http://www.usmagazine.com/moviestvmusic/news/hear-an-ex-idol-finalists-debut-single-2011238>?" meanders from tripped-out electronic textures to a hand-clap fueled hook. At the heart of the music lies Amie's entrancing croon, flares of Jay's evocative guitar, and a dual backdrop of undeniable soul by drummer Adam and bassist Bana. Like icing on a cake, Brandon provides a decadent layer of rich, organic vocals.
