It’s fair to say that we are (already?) getting a little sick of bands referencing the 80s, but truth is… if your 2013 band sounds a little like some of the most original and least known artists from the 80s like Wall of Voodoo (remember ‘Mexican Radio’?) or early Japan or super early Simple Minds (minus the contrived vocalists), then… we are NOT so sick of bands referencing the 80s!
Staten Island’s own Sofa Club – who quite appropriately claim to play a genre called "Couch Pop" – is the band in question, and this is their noteworthy debut EP. We predict they’ll soon move to Brooklyn – but for now they have plans to play there, at Glasslands, on May 20. You can also catch them at Pianos on May 14.
