Can music be this good? It sure can with- Exploding Boy! Out of the gate greatness with the dancable- "Desperados", with Intervention as a close second. With old school licks- like something you would hear on 120 minutes when the show first started. That kind of indie/alterna blend! oh yes, and now! "Let the right one in" is a Pixies throw back and I mean this is in the best sense of the word. (Desperation...desperation away!"...Can I change the life I know" croons Johan and Stefan.) Then there is more!- "London". This Swedish band has got the right combo of sound. The album is a modern day classic with it's gothy/post punk leanings...a real crowd pleasure out of the Joy Division annals. (play -"40 Days"...did Ian Curtis step out O' da grave!!)

I'm now a huge fan! you become one too.
