What can you say about a band that just plain rocks? Each song on Moth’s third record couldn’t have been done better. Hailing from Ohio, the same state that spawned Nine Inch Nails, Devo and The Breeders, Moth contributes a solid major label debut by molding generous portions of geek rock in with some dark and satisfying love songs, such as “Lovers Quarrel,” one of the album’s best. Brad Stenz’s gritty vocals glide along the same horizon as U2’s Bono, and even occasionally slightly hints at Jeremy Enigk of the now defunct Sunny Day Real Estate. The music somehow manages to incorporate punk rock angst with a tint of spunk by nailing each song’s theme, whether it be bittersweet, relaxed or carefree. A decent number of songs on the record sound like they were written for radio airplay.

I hate to fly. Unlike many Americans of late, it has nothing to do with this past September. Sure, I’ve had my share of flights to different destinations, but nothing says comfort like the feel of a steering wheel that you alone control.
