Tyler Jon Tyler is a band from Chicago, IL and are kind of what The Pastels and The Pretenders would sound like if they all lived together in one of those shitty punk houses full of recent college drop-outs. Angrier and with cheaper instruments, they create a skeletal sound that is minimal and poignant, but still evokes the sentiments of '80s Scottish jangle, '90s K Records indie-pop, and U.K. DIY. They formed in early 2009 with Nathan Jerde (also of The Ponys) on bass, Tom Cassling (formerly of noise-punk outfit Daily Void) on drums, and Rebecca Valeriano-Flores guitar and vocals.

"Running through just about every inch of jangle-pop you could rack your brain to name, Tyler Jon Tyler’s songs are stripped down shambles that can’t help but bring a smile to the lips of anyone who grew up bopping The Raincoats and The Vaselines. Plucking members from The Ponys and Daily Void and shaking them up with a healthy dose of earnest female vocals, the band has just released their debut LP for the new Slow Fizz imprint. Tyler Jon Tyler has popped up before with a single on Trouble in Mind, luckily the full length builds on all the promises of those early singles. No frills and no fuss is what keeps it so charming and loose." [Altered Zones, January 2011]
