SMOOSH,

now for something a world apart from the cookie cutter disney we were lampooning earlier in the day. these guys hit my radar last night when looking for decent bloc party covers. at first sight they look like a gimicky girl band, but after watching them cover "this modern love" and having a quick swatch at their myspace, i discovered that the truth is, they're anything but.

take the jump to see what i'm talking about...

two sisters from seattle, don't let their age put you off, (in fact i don't actually know what age they are, could be 40 for all i know, but they look young) they play catchy indie pop that could be likened to a mix between tokyo police club and au revoir simone. perhaps covering bloc party is no coincidence either, because the drum lines are in part quite similar sounding to matt tong's genius, especially in the track "find a way".

and they're no babes in terms of recorded material either, they have two LPs released with the third on it's way. the second of which you can purchase - here.
