The Districts came out of Lititz, Pennsylvania, a small-town rock band that got going in 2009 while Rob Grote, Mark Larson, Connor Jacobus and Braden Lawrence were all still stuck in high school. That's the whole origin story, and it's a good one: four teenagers learning how to be a band out in the open.

Telephone, from 2012, is where rock radio started paying attention, with "Funeral Beds" and "Four & Four" both turning up on the countdowns. The songs have the scrappy, all-in urgency of kids who would rather be loud and a little ragged than careful, and Fat Possum Records was the label that took a chance on them. The band has since called it a day, which leaves those early tracks as a snapshot of a young group caught mid-sprint.
