With a band name nearly as long as the EP itself, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are a New York pop-punk band on the rise. They have that noisy, under-produced, lo-fi Shoegazey sound that so many modern day bands are adopting in homage to classic early punk rockers combined with the dreamy, relaxed boy/girl vocal lines of Stars. They used to be a trio but in October they added a fourth member, drummer Kurt Feldman.
Their self-titled, self-debuted, 5-song EP runs at just 13 minutes 29 seconds but those brief minutes are lots of fun, as you can tell just by looking at the song titles - like the first track, entitled "This Love is Fucking Right!" or the third track, "Doing All the Things That Wouldn't Make Your Parents Proud." My favorite song though is probably the last track: their self-titled song on their self-titled, self-debuted EP. You can listen to 4 of the 5 songs on their myspace. Or buy it at Insound.And some tracks to take home for you:
