If spastic and melodic indie rock that you can shimmy and shake to all night long is something that is right up your alley, you need to check out Scissors For Lefty. This San Francisco, CA quartet straddles that line between synthy dance-punk and angular indie-rock and does it well. The two songs below are from their American EP and are both singles in the UK. While the band has quite a buzz going across the pond, there are no plans (as of yet) to release their debut full-length Underhanded Romance stateside. RIYL: Arctic Monkeys, Wolf Parade, etc…

I love these guys. They actually self-released (I think self-released)an album in the US called Bruno either last year or the year before (could never figure the date). Not sure if it’s still available, but it’s worth tracking down.
