Today's New Band - Dinosaur Pile-Up: DINOSAUR WEEK CONTINUES!
Gimmick, Schmimmick. This dinosaur-theme is a goer, I tell you. The eagle-eyed of you will sport that this is the third consecutive dino-related band in a row, and while some may accuse us here at A.N.B.A.D. of mild idiocy, it turns out that there is method behind this Bronto-Madness. (NB: See previous posts, below, for the previous excursion into Dino-sounds)

That's because the search for dino-bands - archeology, maybe - has unearthed yet another great band: Today's New Band, Dinosaur Pile-Up. Firstly, let's childishly focus again on how super the name is - anything that causes you to imagine a huge collision of freaking dinosaurs and the resulting pile-up is surely enough to make you as giddy as a 10 year old girl watching Hannah Montana - The 3D Movie.

Happily, Dinosaur Pile-up's music is great too. My Rock And Roll is a chunky, Pavement-y, Pixies-ish blast, singer Matt mumble-yelling "Since I was young, I always felt some sort of trouble." It seems that writing great rock songs is outside of this trouble-sphere, as rock 'n' roll is a tough thing to get right, but Dinosaur Pile-Up can do it, seemingly without effort. My Rock and Roll is a fantastic song from a great-sounding band, who don't seem to be slavishly following current musical trends. Fantastic - and apparently, unsigned. Crazy.

Check out their music at their Myspace page, here!

*No new band on Monday - it's a Bank Holiday! So we'll be sitting inside, sheltering from the rain, as usual.*
