Airborne Toxic Event
I've listened to their debut album about three times today. I'm really digging it and it's a definite candidate for top 10 of 2008. There's a bit of a power-pop and guitar driven new wave influence on some tracks. The first tune is the weakest of the set -- not sure why they led with it, but the rest are very strong. Of recent bands, they fit somewhere in between Arcade Fire and Vampire Weekend. Good stuff.
