Neo-New Wave band The Shut-Ups took the idea for creating a no-frills video quite literally when they made this for We're Gonna Waste Your Time, a track from their new album Just Another Generation. Caveat: the clip fades to black after the song is finished, with only the timestamp continuing for nearly a minute.
Live date:HCTF review of Just Another Generation.
Neo-New Wave band The Shut-Ups have a knack for concise power pop songs. Their new full-length Just Another Generation is a concept album about time and they are in a hurry to get get through the songs, sometimes even at breakneck speed (This Band is Gonna Break Up), but they never drop the ball, serving up hooks and smart vocal harmonies like they are going out of style.
Everybody seems to be rushing these days, but the Atlanta-Athens quintet were keen enough to sit back and share some sharp observations about the state of things. Recommended if you like Look Sharp-era Joe Jackson, The Strokes, Weezer, and They Might Be Giants.
