So, thank God for Aaron Axelsen, and that wonderful Soundcheck he hooks up at Live105.

I was recently complaining to a friend of mine that I needed some new synthpop. However, I happen to be somewhat picky when it comes to such things. It's probably unfair to say I like synthpop, when really if a song incorporates a synthesizer, I tend to be pleased. Even AFI's Love Like Winter made a fan out of me just because of one little bit of synth in it. Which is unfortunate, considering the epically bad turn that group has taken. Whatever happened to East Bay Hardcore?

So, what do I like when it comes to the synth-driven sound? First out the door is Depeche Mode, but that's just cheating. If you don't like them, then you probably just don't like the genre. Others high on the list are Apop, Shiny Toy Guns, Ladytron, Fischerspooner, I believe you get the idea.

If you like those guys, check out Client. Hopefully I'll be able to get my ass over to Popscene to see them.
