The
Curtain Society was formed during the period of time
we have come to refer as the "late 80's and early
90's." The British noise rock scene had been fully
integrated with the college radio scene. The Jesus &
Mary Chain had released Psychocandy a few years earlier
and the genre known as Shoegazing was gaining steam. The
Curtain Society was born in 1988 during this tumultuous
period. Fans were eager to gobble up the wall of noise
and watch their musical heroes stand stock-still while
hammering out love song after love song underneath layers
of guitars and feedback.
As it stands, the Society has retained much of its love
for noise but has organized the music, stripped off a
few layers, and geared the music toward today's college
radio listener.

"Dreamy,
melodic, catchy - The Curtain Society possesses all
the right elements. The guitar subtly drives their sound
adding enough of an edge to make it appealingly indie
rock; meanwhile their fluid harmonies and arrangements
shine…I’m hooked!"

"If
there were ever a band in this musical mecca that should
be huge in an REM sort of way, it should be this band."

"...they
sound like far more than three people at any given time
-- always a welcome attribute."
