I had my first audio fatality on Monday. I was catching up on some promos that had been sent to my parent’s house, when it happened. The victim? Hail Social’s new 7″, “Warning Sign.” Luckily Seth from Polyvinyl was able to hook me up with a nice MP3, so consider this both a memorial and a celebration.

I can’t put my finger on why, but I keep feeling like I’m listening to a futuristic version of The Cure. Hail Social have got some powerful, lyrics and some dark instrumentation. But the question is, do they have the haircuts? If you’re going to be dark and rockin, you’ve got to have the hair to back it up. Nobody can top Robert Smith’s ‘do.
