New (To Me) Music: New Pagans

Somewhere in the miasma of my music news fire hose someone [Stereogum, it seems – pj] mentioned New Pagans, a guitar forward & drum driven punk-ish rock band out of Northern Ireland. I listened to their two recent singles, fell in love, and bought both and their latest release.

New Pagans remind me of The Breeders and Silversun Pickups in all the best ways.
