The Soft Explosions are a New York City rock and roll band formed by brothers David and Nicky Kulund in 2004. The line-up was completed when the two met guitarist Lizzy Lee Vincent in a downtown club. Lizzy was dining and the three bonded over their mutual love of raw, noisy rock and roll as well as a shared passion for '60's psychedelia.

Shortly after their formation, The Soft Explosions released the Ride Between the Eyes EP on Canarsie Records to praising reviews. Recorded by Paul Q. Kolderie (Radiohead, Pixies, The Cure), UK Music Search described the sound as if "The Velvet Underground, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Sonic Youth and Pink Floyd were all playing together at the same party; the sound bleeding into one glorious whole." The single Ride Between the Eyes was spotlighted on NYC's Q104.3 as part of their Best New Music of 2004 program while "Reverberate (Let it all start!)" received airplay on Spin Radio.

The Soft Explosions quickly became one of the must see live bands in the city. They were crowned the New York winners of Little Steven's Underground Garage Battle of the Bands and were big draws at the CMJ Music Festival the last two years. Other live highlights included opening for The Secret Machines to a packed Webster Hall, and last spring's SXSW set opening for The Brian Jonestown Massacre where following their own set, half the explosions then went on to play with the BJM when half of that group's members went missing.

The Soft Explosions recently returned from a string of west coast dates where in Los Angeles the band shot their first video for the glam, rock and rolling "Funky Black Cat".
