LAST YEAR'S MODEL

YES!!!  I’ve been super stoked all day cuz I am in love with this band.  I don’t think I’ve been this stoked about a band since I did that post on P-Model and Plastics… Most of the new music I’ve heard lately has taken me on a one way trip to frown town, but I discovered this band yesterday and i was ACTUALLY SMILING at work yesterday while i hummed these songs in my head.  And, unlike P-Model and Plastics, this band will be releasing another album sometime this year!

So anyway, Urbangarde’s sound reminds me a bit of Plus-Tech Squeeze Box, but they are not quite as eclectic.  Maybe even a little like MacDonald Duck Eclair… (Another current LYM fave).  The sound of Urbangarde relies on overstimulation and slightly dark, very epic sounding songs.  Ugh I cannot explain this at all.  Here are some videos.  DID I MENTION THE VIDEOS?!?!  Do yourself a favor, watch these.  Especially “Don’t Take Off Your Sailor Fuku”.  Gross.  and rad.

DON’T TAKE OFF YOUR SAILOR FUKU
