Snowden are the first band since TvOntheRadio that have actually made me want to post anything about them! From Atlanta, they are signed to Jade Tree which is a label I would normally associate with hardcore bands like These Arms Are Snakes , but their sound is more reminiscent of Interpol and they have been compared to the Cure in a number of reviews of their album Anti-Anti, which was released August 22nd.

The title-track from this album is unquestionably the most immediate and uplifting song I have heard for such a long time; you can tell it is something special from the first smatter of high-hat.

I’ve ordered my copy of the album already, check out some more tracks on myspace, and from their first ep on their website.
