New Music Tuesday: The Fast Romantics

For some reason I'm obsessed with indie-rock bands from Canada. The Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene, The New Pornographers, Tegan & Sara, Shapes & Sizes and now The Fast Romantics.

Their self-titled debut album hit iTunes today, and it's already taking over my iPod. The album will hit stores in May.

The still unsigned band has that Brit-pop indie sound that makes you want to dance; similar to Franz Ferdinand but mixed with a little Arcade Fire and Spoon.

Their following is growing past Canada's borders and I'm sure a label with snatch them up in no time.

BUY BORROW OH BOTHER: BUY
If you like any of the bands listed above, you'll definitely be into The Fast Romantics.

great to see them catching on cross-boarder... I've known these guys for awhile, and this is a culmination of a hell of a lot of hard work for years... glad you like them -- pass on the word -- I think they'll be something someday!!
