Stars of Track and Field - "Racing Lights"

[My Life Is A Stereo]

Goes for adds to modern week of Feb 8 according to FMQB.

This has the feel and pace of a modern hit. Since the band is still relatively unknown it may mean it takes a while for radio to warm up to it but I could see this pulling a top 15 or even top 10 with the right push.

If you are curious to give it a listen

I just listened to the album this is from the other day, and I think they're pretty solid as a band. This is easily the most radio-friendly song though.

[My Life Is A Stereo]

I've listened to a bit of their stuff (not extensively) but my early vibe is that they have the feel of what Death Cab was before they got big and could follow the same way. Maybe not in terms of sound but in terms of reachability as they progress as a band. I might be way off but that's just the initial feel I get from listening to some of the last album and the few tracks I could find from the new album (again, I hadn't done extensive searching)

[American Idiot]

Not a bad song at all. I was eager to finally hear this after being a big fan of "Movies of Antarctica" a few years ago. I can see the Death Cab comparison, but I think they're more upbeat, almost like a lot of the stuff you'd hear from the 90s.
