Until the Next Red Light, This Is Exploding

~sigh~ You know when you're at Six Flags, and that really loud band next to the churro stand is ruining your buzz? Yeah, This is Exploding is kinda like that. Hailing from Cleveland, the describes themselves as "post-indie" on their MySpace. Funny, there are still a lot of good Indie acts out there guys. Maybe you should go to a show, take it in, buy some merch. I'm talking especially to you Joshua Jesty (vocals). Dear Lord, you sound like a guy who had one too many Zimas at the office party. The best example of J.J.'s lethargic vocals come on "Break", a horrid number full of monotonous "singing" and the sounds of a guitar blowing chunks. The only saving grace here is the occasional guitar work that reminds you of better music, mainly "The Backseat of Your Heart". It reminds me a little of The Strokes, a much better band. I feel like listening to "Juicebox" now, it's pretty boss.
