Sometimes a band comes out of left field, devoid of hype, but deserving of praise because they write some damn catchy, rocking songs. Think the scrappy-ness of Pavement plus the hooky-ness of the Strokes--except then Your 33 Black Angels craft a song as jangly, yet shambolic and really, really gorgeous as "Town & Country" and blow all those comparisons out of the water.
Holy crap, they are good.

I think a coalition should be formed to stop music critics from comparing bands to Pavement.
i second that.
thanks for the tip, stiwtvkf!
haha ok, ok, considering every semi-decent indie band to emerge after 1994 is in some way indebted to pavement. your point is well taken pat
