Two Brooklyn bands I wanted to serve up for your listening pleasure. With all the great danse-punk and electro shit that’s been released on the interwaves it’s nice to hear some good rock once in a while. And it’s a good thing guys like those in these two bands are around making it.
The National
I don’t know how I missed these guys last year… they were big in the blogosphere, but I never got around to listening…
Diamond Nights formed in 2003 as a group betrothed to the pursuit of song, not genre. As such, their music oscillates from straightforward to strange, from bombastically heavy to casually reserved. More specifically, it’s the sort of music that seems to embody a band somewhere between its first experimentation with hard drugs and prior to the calamitous meltdown, getting cleaned up and writing mediocre soft rock hits.
