UK-based FaB (Fitzsimon and Brogan) is a pop/rock duo with a new track "Dancing Partner" and it is a much-needed tonic for those of us who really need an injection of punk-rock style recordings a-la the 1980's indie scene. The distorted opening guitars and poppy drums show the strength of a band that doesn't need the hyper-produced sheen that dominates much of popular music these days. What's cool about this style of music-making, is that it lets the natural ability of the musicians come through completely uninterrupted. The harmonies, the singing itself, and the amazing drumming (done by none other than Elvis Costello's drummer, Pete Thomas) are more than enough to remind us that great songs come from great artists.
"Dancing Partner" is the third single off their album "This Wicked Pantomime" - I think any fans of Joan Jett or The Ting Tings would feel right at home listening to this duo.
