Ah, Sleigh Bells. The band for dudes who are too afraid of seeming uncouth to just listen to real metal and chicks who are too afraid of not seeming quirky to just listen to Top 40. Hey, at least it’s a game plan. Anyway, my excellent sources tell me they got some smashed-up gas station Cherry Pie of a new album out, so I guess it’s time to “tour it up” or whatever you might want to call it. But you know, it occurs to me that I’m just not doing the band any true aesthetic justice by not “pushing my equipment to its maximum” while I’m writing about them. So, in homage to Sleigh Bells and their upcoming tour, I will now abuse my word processor to expose the hidden strengths inherent to its presupposed limitations:
SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIGH!
