Be the first kid on your block to drop some serious white boy knowledge. Who else can they turn to so they don't confuse the Black Kids with the Cool Kids?
Album: Partie Traumatic
Sounds like: The love child of The Killers and The Go! Team. And The Cure. A little.
Album: The Bake Sale
Sounds like: Golden age rappers EPMD trapped in a giant bong listening to chopped & screwed hip hop.
Album: In Ghost Colours
Sounds like: Synth-heavy new wave like New Order and Pet Shop Boys. But less gay. A little less gay.
Album: Antidotes
Sounds like: A new wave take on Battles. Or disco punk meets math rock. But sensitive.
Album: Feed the Animals
Sounds like: Hundreds of rap and rock samples thrown into a blender. Served on the rocks.
Album: The In Crowd
Sounds like: The Clipse, if they worshipped Pete Rock and Kanye instead of Scarface.
Album: Oracular Spectacular
Sounds like: Classic rock. Now with drum machines and synthesizers. And sass.
Album: Evil Urges
Sounds like: A '70s country rock band frozen and then thawed out in 2008 to destroy dance rock.
