BETA Records - Your music matters!

Alternative-pop wunderkinds, Hector On Stilts (HOS) always tip handsomely, taste the wine first and arrive at shows in their very own limo.

If their ride is allegory for the band’s grand style and rich sound, the intensely melodic pop of their sophomore release, "Same Height Relation," is proof. Produced by Grammy-nominee, Andres Levin, of Afro-Cuban ensemble, Yerba Buena, "Same Height Relation" cruises through plush anti-epics ("Winterland," "Rhyme Like Me"); bittersweet alt-pop ("Heart In Your Hand," "Tongue-Tied") and salsa-spiced disco ("Annie," “Squares Into Circles”). At the wheel are cousins, Jeb and Clayton Colwell, who split writing and lead vocal turns and harmonize with the clarity and conviction of a taller Everly Brothers.

Jeb and Clayton are carrying on a family heritage of music for the masses. Their fathers were co-founders and songwriters for the Pepsodent-fresh glee club, Up With People, who were performing at Super Bowl halftimes before Janet Jackson had her first training bra. Jeb’s theatrical instincts undoubtedly derive from his grandfather, the late actor Anthony Quinn. However it was the senior Colwells who passed onto their sons a legacy of people-pleasing music and an unending fondness for the sweeter, “poppier” side.
