Modernage

I receive cd's from bands or record companies from time to time, and although most are just average, some are outstanding. Modernage's EP Receiver is one of those outstanding cd's. They have a melodic post-punk sound, similar to Elefant or perhaps an upbeat Interpol. This is all very surprising since Modernage hails from Miami, a city not known for it's post-punk rock. Modernage has made the rounds in NYC (Rothko, Bar 13, Tiswas, Sin-e) to much applause. You can hear some tracks from the EP on their website or at their myspace page. My fave by far is "The Shore."
