If you like LA's The Broken West, you'll most definitely like Chicago's Penthouse Sweets. Both bands have that sun-soaked rootsy pop-rock sound that has just enough alt-country charm to make you fall in love at sunset. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it doesn't have to be. Great melodies and flawless (or perfectly flawed) execution that slowly rocks like The Replacements, Buffalo Tom, or Old 97's puts this band leagues ahead of most of the competition.
Penthouse Sweets have been a band for roughly 4 years and features former members of The Differents and The Dorks. I'm not totally sure if they are the same pop-punk Dorks that I saw a few times back in my UIUC days, but with as good as the Sweets are, it doesn't even matter. As good as this band is its also hard to believe that this band is self-releasing its records and doesn't have any label support behind them. Seriously. Have a listen friend 'em up on myspace.
