'''Brandtson''' was an American rock band from [Cleveland, Ohio](/source/Cleveland%2C_Ohio).

==History==
The band formed in 1996 and first recorded for a Stead Fast Records compilation entitled ''Radiowaves and Gibberish'' in 1997.<ref>Jason Ankeny & Corey Apar, [{{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p293820|pure_url=yes}} Brandtson] at [Allmusic](/source/Allmusic)</ref> Soon after the group signed with [Deep Elm Records](/source/Deep_Elm_Records), appearing on their ''[Emo Diaries](/source/The_Emo_Diaries)'' series before issuing their debut LP, ''Letterbox'', late in 1998. The group quickly issued two more releases, ''Fallen Star Collection''<ref>[http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/cdreviews/FallenStarCollection.asp Review of ''Fallen Star Collection''], Jesus Freak Hideout</ref> and the EP ''Trying to Figure Each Other Out'', in successive years. ''Dial in Sounds'' followed in 2002,<ref>[http://www.riverfronttimes.com/2002-02-06/music/brandtson/ Brandtson]. ''[Riverfront Times](/source/Riverfront_Times)'', February 6, 2002.</ref> and the following year the group released a split EP with [Camber](/source/Camber_(band)) and [Seven Storey Mountain](/source/Seven_Storey_Mountain).

In 2004, the group signed with [The Militia Group](/source/The_Militia_Group) and began working with producer [Ed Rose](/source/Ed_Rose) for their fifth full-length, ''Send Us a Signal'', which arrived in 2004. In the same year, a previously unreleased song, "Little Birds and Sparrows", was put onto the compilation album "Take Action! Vol 4".  Another full-length, ''Hello Control'', was issued in 2006.<ref>[http://blogcritics.org/music/article/cd-review-brandtson-hello-control/ Review of ''Hello Control''], [Blogcritics.org](/source/Blogcritics.org)</ref><ref>[http://popwatch.ew.com/2006/05/05/download_this_b-3/ Download This: Brandtson].
