The Exit

New Beat (Some)
by Tim Den

Bad ass pop songs played with a NY deli helping of elbow grease. Don’t think it’s all hooks and “commercial radio friendly” just cuz of the outstanding singing (shared between all three members of the band, no less!): The Exit lay it on top of substantial crunch and boom. Imagine The Police’s songs played by The Clash through a post-NYHC band, and you’ve got New Beat. And can I just say how awesome the melodies are again? A tour with these guys and The Break (but not The Ghost or The Holy Ghost or The… ah fuck it) would go down a storm.
