what the kids want
what the kids want
I like this band. They're kind of mall punk-y but I really like them. The singer's very good, the music is very catchy and VERY fun. They have a 7", a CD, and a split 7" with Dear Nora, in that order. I've heard three of the four songs on their website and plan on ordering their stuff when I get my shit together to make a trip to the post office.
You can find the MP3s here.
Enjoy. ¶ 5:49 AM 0 comments

PANTHERS
Let's Get Serious EP
I think Panthers are my favorite new band now. I randomly purchased their Dim Mak follow up EP to their debut LP Are You Down?!? on the ineffable Troubleman Unlimited Records.
I must have more stuff. I only know they have two other full-lenths, Are You Down?!? and Things Are Strange on Vice Records. Not owning those, I can't tell you much about them, but I can tell you a bit about the EP.
There are five songs. They are all awesome. Great titles, too:
Thank Me With Your Hands
It's Not The Heat, It's The Humility
Post-Fascist Fantasies
Sexist Not Sexy
Don't Be a Dick
This is very much guitar rock, but there's really a lot going on. All the musicians are very talented and versatile, but there is not a moment on this record where I feel they went for technique over aesthetic. This music is loud and fast and aggressive like the best punk rock should be, but it's also thoughtful and composed. The lyrics are witty and well written.
The most important thing I think is the most subtle: the rhythm. This band's got their shit together, Each instrument is going somewhere and plays an important part to the sound as a whole, but I don't think you'd necessarilly think that listening to it. It's not thrust upon you. Unlike a lot of their Williamsburg uber-hip peers they don't force their rhythmic accents down your throat by starting and stopping constantly and lurching around, there's always something going on and all the instruments have something to do. This is the kind of band you could probably sit with and listen to the record four or five times just listening to each individual instrument trying to hear which way they're all going. This is the mark of a real band who knows what they're doing.
Listen to this band.
