Peachcake is sweet. Like sugary sweet. Like the kind of sweet that makes you feel guilty afterward, as if you should have spent your time building homes for poverty stricken families in Peru than indulge in this glucose bath. Yet the Arizona duo doesn't try to be anything other than bubble gum pop, and that's where they succeed.
You'll enjoy Peachcake if you like Postal Service, or Lightning Seeds, or LCD Sound System, or techno of the happy hardcore bent. You see where I'm going? While their lyrics lack the poetic depth of Postal Service, Peachcake is arguably more fun. It will either make you want to dance, hang out with ravers, or punch bricks until they spit gold coins.
Download a few tracks for a play list, but don't try to digest the whole thing in one sitting. I don't know many people who can handle an entire peach cake on their own. Okay, I know one person: my brother. But he once ate tacos until he couldn't see.

But this is what we need...a foil for real rock with feeling.
Constantines, The Fall, Black Mountain
hell kids theres a war going on and my working class neighborhood is filing up with yuppies and cops..rent is being raised, my raise at work is BEHIND the inflation rate in Colorado.......now thats what underground music should be about.
We need Black Flag back. And bands like this to get their trust fund hatted heads pulled out of their asses and their guitar center bought keyboards shoved back into their clean sparkling pink assholes.
now thats a recording i could listen to all day long.
2) I am concerned that I can't figure out which brother you are referring to. Neither the desire/ability to eat a peach cake nor the past feat of eating tacos to blindness differentiated between the two. Perhaps we should memo them on this.
