Dressed Like Stolen Cars is an odd name and a relatively new band to emerge onto our beloved music scene. They write happy old-timey rock ‘n roll grooves with a hint of Brit-pop and plenty of Morrissey glass-half-full lyrics. They seem like a group that XPN could latch onto and put in heavy rotation to give their playlist a little more of an edge in the adult contemporary world and some street cred in the sometimes apathetic too-cool-for-school indie world. Dressed Like Stolen Cars’ demos certainly sound very promising. – Q.D. Tran
