Approved: Plushgun (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 26 March 2009
Plushgun are a trio from Brooklyn, who have managed to come up with a sound that sits resolutely at the half-way point between Blink 182 and the Pet Shop Boys. After a few years of demos and EPs, they’ve just released their debut album, ‘Pins & Panzers’, which seems to be going down pretty well back in the USA. It’s unavoidably and unashamedly American, recalling moments from high school that you never personally experienced but that you still know intimately thanks to Hollywood. On their MySpace profile they’ve got a list of press quotes that refer to them as “infectious”, but this isn’t infectious like an unpleasant skin condition, it’s more infectious like an unrequited crush on the cutest girl in class. They’re streaming four songs from their album, but the best place to start is probably ‘How We Roll’. Pause whatever you’re doing and go take a listen right now.
