The Pains of Being Pure at Heart Live at the Mojave Tent Coachella

One of the stronger new acts yet today were alt rock act The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Perhaps the best description of them is that they are a little less noisey form of My Bloody Valentine. While MBV drowns you in oceans of feedback and volume, TPOBPAH are a rocking and magnicifently (and simultaneously) more soothing affair. Thrashing with sincerity in some songs, sweetly singing a nice melody on others. If they can continue this momentum, they could be a new star in the making.
