Trans Am - Coldwar

Trans Am - TA (Thrill Jockey) 2002 - This album is a two year old entry but I was just recently introduced to them. With me being mainly influenced by electronic at the moment, this band breathes, for me, new life in to the rock/punk genre. With a perfect blend of rock and electronic, they make you put your hands up and bring the house down with a 80's new wave punk sound with a bite! Got the pleasure of seeing them in Chicago a few weeks ago in a local dive. COLDWAR (check link above) represents the albums freedom to touch on 80's but also presents their ability to transform it into the sound of tomorrow... My favorite release on the album is POSITIVE PEOPLE, which they performed at the show. Touch of New Order meets Judias Priest, just insanely wicked! Great show and nothing less than everything I expected. Check out their latest release called Liberation or visit them on their offical site!
