Song of the Week: "'Cause You Can"
Song: "'Cause you can"
Artist: Birdmonster
Sound: Three guitars crashing into one another yet coming up with melody instead of noise. Pump-your-fist-and-chant vocals on top of it. Allmusic calls them "A San Francisco version of Ted Leo & the Pharmacists."
I know they're considered all indy rock and moppy-haired and whatever but try not air guitaring. I dare you.
Source: My friend Hannah.
Listened to: Almost every time I pick up my iPod. The apostrophe puts them 4th in the list of nearly 4000 songs, right behind "!!!!" by the Roots, "'39" by Queen and "'40" by U2.
Actions: Last night, I'm having dinner with my friend Jenny at NOPA. I see Birdmonster is playing up the block. I convince her to say for 4 songs (Verdict: The band is loud and the lead singer is dreamy). It was still enough for me to want to buy their debut album No Midnight.
