MP3: The Indecision Alarm - Making bets in a burning house
As hinted at last week, today's mp3 post is on The Indecision Alarm, the flipside band on the new Enemy Alliance split. I posted about Enemy Alliance first, but I think I prefer The Indecision Alarm overall. They've got an even stronger wistful vibe, further enhanced by their preference of open chords over power chords. They also tend to be a bit slower and that suits me just fine. As for the big choruses with harmonized vocals - yeah, they've got those too, though they tend to be a bit rougher. That's fine by me as I find the imperfections hold more charm and are far more inviting for group singalongs. That's part of the punk promise: you can do it too! I can't say for sure that TIA is the type of band that will set up and play on the floor instead of the stage to be on the same level as the people, but that's the feeling I get from the music. I like this a lot.
