Elizabeth
The Ash Can School (Pop Echo)

I’m going to have to quote from the bio on Canadians Elizabeth’s webpage here - “From early on, Elizabeth has been known as the band that exists outside the indie-rock orthodoxy…[rejecting]…the trendy trappings of the contemporary indie dogma (read: whiney vocals and chintzy synths)”
Wrong wrong wrong. Elizabeth are nothing if not an entirely average indie rock band who their own parents would have trouble selecting in a Police line-up. Even the Hot Hot Heat remix (featuring those self same ‘chintzy’ synths) can’t save them from the dustbin of useless bands who have had too much money* thrown at them.
*Anything more than a quid is too much.
