Rails To Russia was founded by E. Oren (aka Montogomery Rails), widely regarded as the inventor of karaoke. Band members include Mikey Monteiro (aka Mikey Crisis), a former used car salesman with a penchant for mustachery, and Bryan TobinNew Jerseys favorite native son and the founder of the North Jersey Avocado Alliance. These boys know how to have good times.
Accordingly, fate placed them in the hands of renowned producers Ian Pai and Jeff Saltzman (The Killers, The Sounds, Fischerspooner) who offered in the summer of 2007 to produce some of their material on spec because, as Jeff told Eytan and Mike "You p-ssies sing like f-cking angels". The result was The Automatic Age EP, mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer (Muse, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand), a brief but poignant sample of the stylish, sexy art rock that comes from their combination of gritty pop panache and brooding operatics.
