On the Pulse Vol. 2

Neon Indian

Neon Indian
Alam Polamo is Neon Indian, and his head dress is synth-pop fuzzy, his arrows are piercing hooks that slice through the midnight glow. Polamo makes overdriven soundtracks that are cartoonish and danceable, and although overtly kooky, the addictiveness is palpable. Polamo as Neon Indian begins a tour on October 2 in celebration of his newest release, Psychic Chasms, which drops on October 13.

Twin Tigers
Athens, Georgia. Need I say more? Probably, since a town this creative has potential to jump off the ledge at times (The Dictatortots ... you get the picture). But Twin Tigers are a collective that will bolster the legacy of this college town/music mecca as one stimulated beyond its small town slumber. The frenetic, spiraling amalgam of jagged guitars and sub-surface vocals drive a carnivalesque temperament that is as dangerous as swinging from the trapeze without a safety net. Twin Tigers is on currently on a cross-country tour with Minus the Bear.

The Dustys
Young and polished, Arlington, Virgina's The Dustys were barely out of the garage before The Bravery discovered their debut eponymous EP. Its follow up EP, Sticky Blood, is released this month. Now, the trio is hitting the road in support of their mentors, bringing their sterling, momentous sound and introspective songwriting to stages across the country. Check out the tour dates here.
