Off the record starts off great, but then they drag it too much... it's just long for the sake of it. But the first part is awesome.

Anyway... here are some Neon Blonde samples:

The band is a project of Johnny Whitney (vocals, guitars, bass, synth) and Mark Gajadharof (drums) of The Blood Brothers.

Appeal : can we not have every single thread turned into how cool Chuck fucking Norris is? I didn't find it funny at the start, and now it's gone beyond annoying.

No problem my friend, glad to see more fellow Indie entusiasts. I bought the Spoon one yesterday 'cause I really like it; they're 100% American sounding, but in a good way. Kind of like Wilco.

I thought the Circa Survive was nice, they have a very fresh sound, but Juturna is very very monotonous. Sometimes you can't even tell in which song you are because many partsof it sound the same.

Lots of love for Equal Vision Records huh?
