The Answering Machine "Another City, Another Sorry"

The easiest way to describe a new band to somebody is to compare their sound to that of other bands. It had been eating at me through the first half of this album but I finally figured it out. The Answering Machine sounds like Bloc Party without the synths. It's uptempo and the lyrics are delivered similarly but it's more pop than dance.
