Background / Composition: Modernboys Moderngirls started generating a buzz last year, and their album I Might As Well Break It climbed on CBC Radio3 charts.

Modernboys Moderngirls

Like a less damaged version of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, Toronto's Modernboys Moderngirls make their mark with their likeable, rough-and-tumble approach to indie rock. They're not trying sound deliberately badass, but I Might As Well Break It's raw production gives good proximity to what this outfit might sound like live. Peppy instrumentation...

If you came of age in the '80s and spent plenty of time listening to The Replacements, Paul Westerberg's solo material or Husker Du... or, hell, any kind of alternative rock out of Minneapolis, you'll probably dig Modernboys Moderngirls' new single.
