While the rest of the music industry has found a new best friend in the vocoder and merely continues their long-standing alliance with the synthesizer, The Perfects are one of the few bands that seamlessly meld those futuristic sounds with the melodic core of yesterday. Echoing the works of Duran Duran and The Cure, The Perfects are quickly cultivating a fan-base as rabid as those in the early days of music videos, when their inspirations ruled the airways.

DJ Richard Vission, whose work often appears on the top of the billboard charts, did the remix for the song "Shipwrecked". The Perfects also remixed for Mindless Self Indulgence - "What do They Know?" on Another Mindless Ripoff EP, - earning the respect of fans of the indie band who then threw their support to The Perfects. Coupling a strong record with exciting, frenetic live shows, The Perfects proved themselves to be more than just another studio act.

Now, with the new album "New Life"(Summer 2010 release) and the lead single "Girls That Dance," (available soon on iTunes and Amazon) The Perfects once again find themselves paired with producer Hard for an album sure to titillate the eardrums and send people to the dance floor, while still maintaining its artistic integrity. With the help of people who manned the boards for Madonna, Justin Timberlake, David Bowie and Garbage, New Life is sure to introduce The Perfects to a new wave of fans. In addition the new album will contain remixes from Grammy award winning producer Chris Vrenna, DJ Richard Vission, Assemblage 23, Ego Likeness, Ric Peters and introducing Vanity Crush. Is it possible that a band named The Perfects may have just created the perfect album for 2010? Absolutely.
