Robbers On High Street - demo [mp3s] [upcoming shows]

Sick of the "New York Scene" yet? Think all these new NYC bands are of such blandy-sameness that they can be expressed with a simple mathematical formula (L8 70s + 80s x 90s)? News for you: There's pure, sweet indie rock lurking in Gotham as well. Comin' off like an East Coast version of Spoon, The Robbers On High Street will bust your chops with their finely-honed indie rockin' skillz. I realize that the world is, as a general rule, an unfair place, but sheesh, somebody sign these guys already! - ryan

It's good to hear a band compared to Spoon! It seems like they were plagued with comparisons to other bands for so long. I guess this means by transitive property Robbers On High Street sound exactly like the Pixies.
