Rock Kills Kid
Recommended by: Kate Tucci
"Jeff Tucker, lead vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter for Los Angeles-based alt-rock quintet Rock Kills Kid, was a socially withdrawn, barely employed, directionless 19 year old. Writing songs saved him. You can hear it all over the 10 jagged tracks he wrote for Rock Kills Kid's debut Are You Nervous?. The album's emotional tension recalls some of the most angst-filled recordings of the late '70s and '80s by U2, The Cure, Joy Division and The Smiths."
