I had the chance to see this band a couple weeks ago and will testify that they really know how to sprinkle their box of hooks around a room. That is to say, most of the crowd I could see were engaged by the enthusiastic performance of dynamic, well-crafted pop tunes.
Clever lyrics weave a mildly sardonic cultural commentary with a low-grade empathy and remorse—none of that brooding angst, anger or rage you might associate with some of the 80s alt-acts that have surely influenced these guys. Instead, it's upbeat pop, fairly complex and without the nasty cheerleader sheen. Check 'em out. Bring friends.
Listen here.
