Shout Out Louds
I remember (yes, I'm old) buying the import 12" single version of The Cure's "In Between Days" back when it came out in 1985. If I was forced to list my all-time 100 favorite songs, "In Between Days" would be very close to the top. It's perfect.Back in 1985, I never expected a Swedish indie group to dig up Robert Smith's perfect pop moment and cycle it back for the 2007 crowd. Which isn't to say that the Shout Out Louds' "Tonight I Have To Leave It" is a rip-off. It's not. Heavily influenced, yes, but "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" (or so they say).
Seeing as there are not any current acts around that can dish out pop perfection and goth destruction on the same CD and still sell it in extreme quantities (like the Cure did for nearly two decades), I'm happy to have the Shout Out Louds attempt to fill old Robert's massive shoes. "Tonight I Have To Leave It" is the constant repeat song of the week around these parts. It's brilliant. Perfect pop. Though, I must admit, it just makes me want to see The Cure in concert once more before I die...

I'm really glad I did get to see the Cure at least once. They made all the other acts they played with seem like kindergartners with instruments.
