The New Loud

Me (secrets) You

I Heard You Wanna Fight Me

Two boys and two girls whip up a frothy new wave-meets-indie racket. Sometimes they sound like the Cars (“Secrets”) and sometimes they provide the moody soundtrack for young lovers seemingly ready to fling themselves off cliffsides (“Heart Attack”). Not to worry, the frenetic jolt of “Hot New Moves” talks you back from the ledge and into a frenetic pogo party. Ah, if only that were enough to live for…

Points awarded for being self-released. Points subtracted for not changing my life.
