These guys opened for Casiotone for the Painfully Alone at the CMJ showcase at Silent Barn in Bushwick Queens. With a few albums and a few tours behind them Pants Yell! have a good shot of releasing a decent record or two. Hopefully I will see them in a year or two making good on their potential. This track sounds to me like a cross between Detroit’s Pascal and what it might sound like to hear a basement recording of The Smiths when Johnny Marr, Morrissey and co were 15 years old. Speaking of which, does anyone have any intel on Pascal? If so, please fill me in on their prospects of a new album.
