Ellington

Start with an eccentric Pop/Punk jam of The Pixies and The Rapture, then ferociously mix in high energy tracks that blend the New Wave of Talking Heads, Ladytron, The Cars, Gary Numan, Futureheads and Servotron. All this comes across shockingly new, fresh and flat out fun. Pilot Scott Tracy features former members of The Causey Way, Servotron and Man Or Astroman, and is available on Alternative Tentacles. Highly recommended. -- Herman Snell and Alex Slawson
