With falsetto vocals atop driving dance rhythms à la the Rapture or Hot Hot Heat, Denver, CO, dance-rock band the Photo Atlas are Alan Andrews (vocals/guitar), Bill Threlkeld III (guitar), Mark Hawkins (bass), and Devon Shirley (drums/sampling). After their debut, No, Not Me, Never, was issued through Morning After Records, Island subsidiary Stolen Transmission brought the band on board for a re-release in March 2007. The band has shared the stage with Alkaline Trio, These Arms Are Snakes, the Thermals, the Appleseed Cast, and Unwritten Law.
