My Personal Murderer

This Ukrainian band spammed me on Last.fm to check out their album, which I did because of the name:

I am maybe a little bit predictable and it's not like OMG BEST NEW BAND EVER but this is a very enjoyable listen right now; I'm picking up influences ranging from Poisie Noire to Trust to... Queensryche maybe?

I would be surprised if they changed anyone's life but I'm finding them to be competent pop goth comfort food on first listen.

also let's get this out of the way now, the singer is very firmly in the These New Puritans school of vocal technique so if that type of thing annoys you, you are forewarned

Not bad on first blush here...

Indeed, not bad at all!

are we listening to the same thing?

there are also shades of Abe Vigoda in there, too
