The good-time Philly quartet take it down a notch on “Something In Common,” the B-Side for their debut DFA “Free Energy” 7″. Whereas the James Murphy-produced A-Side was all about ’70s guitar parts and cowbell hits in a sweaty house party awash with friends and balloons, “Something” relies on mellowly seductive “it’s alright” assurances (and a catchy bassline) to propel it forward. Like last time, the guys lock into the sorta grooves that make it clear how their Television/Strokes-esque rock ‘n’ roll ended up on a label housing so many dance-floor experts.
The “Free Energy” b/w “Something In Common” 7″ is out via DFA. Their full-length Stuck On Nothin’ should be out in early 2010.

These guys are quickly becoming my favorite band ever.
just saw these guys play in iowa city, good shit. i was way down with hockey night, and this is up a very similar alley; maybe a little less pavement-y. bought the ‘something’ 7″ off of em too. nice guys, shredded it live.
whoa, that is an unexpected sweet jam. thank you. ok now i am curious for this album, anyone heard the rest of it?????
this is NEARLY a whack rip-off of the Strokes…even has the same terrible production quality as their debut album…BUT, it’s nowhere near as good. Keep trying though…it’s not that bad.
