Crooked Looks is a recently formed trio from Brooklyn (one via Philly). They have an EP coming out in July and it seems to be taking my ipod by storm. Like fellow NYCers, LCD Soundsystem, they have a booming rhythm bass that obliterates your legs and mind until you can’t help but move. On top of this rough dance rock groove is street level vocals that let you sing along with ease.

CHAINGANG is dance punk indie rock from down under that soars high and dives down into your limbs, making them do all sorts of crazy things (dangerous while driving). Hayley’s lead vocals are powerful and unique (as if Bjork became a thrasher…or Siouxsie…yeah that’s the ticket). I’ve only been able to put my hands on some demos, but CHAINGANG is definitely worth a listen, a show, and an album watch. photo by luke austin
