CONTROLLER.CONTROLLER
"Although it sees Toronto's Controller.Controller entering the already clotted disco-punk market a little bit later than is fashionable, [the EP] History is nevertheless one of the worthier debuts to emerge from the second wave of no wave revivalists. Led by vocalist Nirmala Basnayake -- who spikes her natural mid-range with just the right amount of Ari Up -- and the requisite front line of juddering guitars, the quintet weave together a six-song set that delivers on anxious atmospherics and strong hooks in equal measure." -- Allmusic.com

SCISSORS FOR LEFTY
Superfun SF buzz band. "Very catchy, danceable pop with inflections of Talking Heads, or "Make up the Breakdown" Hot Hot Heat, with some of the scope and depth of the Arcade Fire, and the angular quirkiness of Modest Mouse." -- Playinginfog.com

YOU SAY PARTY WE SAY DIE
Vancouver band with insanely catchy beats and viciously fun live show. "Fusing the leftist party-punk of Le Tigre with the dark, militant dramatics of Pretty Girls Make Graves, full-length debut Hit the Floor! neatly strips punk rock and politics alike (one and the same, really) to just get with the beat-- or get beaten. Exclamation point, exclamation point. Synthesizer!" -- Pitchfork
