Harlem

Harlem are a fantastic band, hailing from Austin, Texas. I’d call them a thrash pop band, mixing dirty, distorted guitars, with nice melodies and some rough sounding vocals as well. They sound a bit like Kings of Leon did on their debut album, mixed with Times New Viking. I consider them in the same “noise-core” genre as No Age, Wavves, Abe Vigoda, etc. They list their one and only influence as Nirvana, the album Nevermind to be exact. Their debut album entitled Free Drugs was released on Female Fantasy records, and you can purchase it through their Myspace. I highly recommend it. A few of my personal favorites are “South of France”, “Beautiful & Very Smart”, and “Psychedelic Tits”, two of which you can find below. Enjoy!
