The genre loosely referred to as Indie Rock is not something I keep up with, but rather something I let come to me. That said, Neon Indian’s actual band name might ring more bells than the organic dance outfit’s actual music, but if their catastrophic cover T. Rex’s “Children Of The Revolution” is any indicator of how reckless their sound is, my horizons might have to be broadened. Forget the homegrown original, this complete script-flipper of a cover sounds like Mega-Man took twenty too many caps before hitting up the Wiley Fortress and wrecking house.

Which is a good thing, despite possibly needing a piece of clothing near by to put in my mouth if I start having a seizure.
