There's a little bit in Alternative Press about them as one of the "100 bands you need to know in 2004."
The Stills
HQ: Montreal, Canada
Suggested Listening: Logic Will Break Your Heart
(Vice; vice-recordings.com)
How They Sound: The Stills skipped the Detached Emotionalism classes at the Interpol Finishing School for Mope-Rock Debutantes, but earned straight A's in Smiths-like Chiming 101 and Intro To Gloomy '80s British Bands. Consequently, Logic is a fully formed debut blooming with enough fatalistic, lovelorn longing to satisfy new wave-revivalists and swlooning synth enthusiasts alike.
Why They Matter: These Canucks redeem the often plastic '80s revival with clever lyrics and a live show hat resonates with fans via the ears and the heart. On a recent tour with Echo & The Bunnymen, the quartat matched the rock icons none for drmatic note with no-frills, passionate sets. [AZ]
