Lead Performance: Straitjacket Fits; Genre: Rock
A-
Tom Sinclair
Tom Sinclair is a senior writer for EW and has been called "the handsomest man in rock criticism'' (by his wife)
A young but venerable-sounding New Zealand guitar band, Straitjacket Fits jumps back and forth between moodily atmospheric pop songs and revved-up rockers, coming across like a hybrid of Television and the Hollies. And with songs like ''Sycamore'' and ''Spacing,'' they achieve the magic so many alternative bands try for but so few truly conjure. Try 'em on.
