Though Bright Young Things, of Raleigh, NC, certainly live by the precepts of classic guitar pop, they’re hardly revivalists. Instead, they’re revisiting that sound through the lens of modern indie sensibilities and a dose of Wilco-branded, roots-rooted pop rock. Comparisons may be tough to shake, but having been thrown in the company of pop nobility, Bright Young Things is rising to the challenge. www.myspace.com/brightyoungthingsclub
