I'm blaming cmerepaul (& Interpol) for getting me into this band (but I don't complain, I can't I really liked them). They're very good, I finally gave them a go, and got really impressed to see what have I been missing.
awesome band..Philadelphia's best kept secret!
"They’re a quartet from the Philadelphia area. They’ve released a 7-inch & 4-song EP, and have toured the US opening up for Interpol & Secret Machines last fall. Some believe they are the next band to break out of Philadelphia. They’ve shared the stage with an impressive list of bands: Unicorns, TV on the Radio, Ted Leo, of Montreal, Joan of Arc, Denali, and The Rogers Sisters to name a few.
Some might say its sounds a little Goth with groove, like the Cure’s Head on The Door or power-wave like Duran Duran Seven and the Ragged Tiger. The band likes to refer to the album as “80s roller-skating music played by a metal band.” Pop it in your player, give it a few spins; get morbidly giddy—maybe put on some eyeliner."
Their debut album is gonna come out this Tuesday, August 9!!! (Sam's birthday!!!)
I'm gonna do whatever I can do to get it, either order it by Internet or on a record store..(I hope the first option, if not, the record store will have it in about two months..)
