Select Start

A 2008 Pure Volume Top 21 Unsigned band, Tampa,FL's Select Start began 2009 self-releasing their 5th CD, "<3", on 01/06/09.

Rocking a blend of synth-tinged, indie, power-pop, they have not only toured throughout their home state of Florida, but also all across the Eastern half of the US.

Since 2006, they've completed over seven tours, and it looks like they will not be stopping any time soon.

With their internet fan base growing at an impressive rate, it's easy to see why they've been included on countless playlists and have sold over 12,000 singles on iTunes, Rhapsody, and Napster, and why they consistently are at or near the Top of the US MySpace Unsigned artist charts in the emotronic, powerpop and indie genres.
