springsteen – edgy + dull

this boston trio have only gone and killed it in the “let’s steal the surname of a legit rock star” stakes, taking the familial name of a genuine hero of mine; big up the boss. these 5 tracks are pretty standard rocking affairs and offer up a nicely paced out, blissful kind of indie shoe gaze. tracks 1, the instrumentally introductory “oooo” and 4, teen flick inspiration assuming “clueless” are highlights.

psssst, bonus, track 5 is actually a cover of lyrically-creepy-but-still-jaw-dropping Born in the U.S.A. cut “i’m on fire“.
