Trade Review:

Alien Sex Cult is a group based in San Francisco. Their cool rhythms and eclectic style of music lend themselves to comparisons with the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (i.e., The Concept Band - a band about another band) while their usage of synthesizers and torrential backbeats remind one of Depeche Mode. Their music is about getting together and having fun, and the upbeat rhythms of their music is conducive to recreating this atmosphere time and time again.
