rock/pop

Maybe it's that dirty garage sound offset by those mesmerizing, multi-tiered vocals (everybody sings! at once sometimes!), or maybe it's the dark, smirking lyrics. Not sure, but there's something really right about the way this Philly four-piece thinks rock 'n' roll should sound. Univox's new self-titled debut is an ambitious and confident opening statement: clever, Kinksy, punky, poppy and pretty, but not too pretty, you know?
