Robbers On High Street - A Night at Star Castle
Robbers on High Street are a band from NYC who sound an awful lot like Spoon. But with harder guitars! And much less back-of-the-throat singing than Britt Daniels. No, but really, if I had to assign this track with a stretched and melodramatic simile, I'd say it's like watching your high school girlfriend eating a massive funnel cake at the state fair and then wiping her sugar-powdery hands on your jeans and telling you that she's pregnant (not yours). Also you left your headlights on, and the battery's dead. Time to walk home. 56 miles. You have to carry her at least halfway.
No, this song is just really good. Nice hard guitar-synchro beat in the beginning. People, like it!
The song is from the Fine Lines EP, and ROHS have their debut full-length coming out some time soon (Insound says September 14th, but maybe that's a super-secret release date, since the band doesn't even mention the new record on their website)
