Technoir MA have only been together since last summer, but already sound like the noise-pop band that I wish Bloc Party had turned into after Silent Alarm. Sceptical of presumably far-too-early Bloc Party comparisons? Grab “Roundabout” below and try telling me that those guitars aren’t ridiculously reminiscent of A Weekend In The City’s best B-sides.

Having just self released debut EP “2/B”, they are about to set out on their first US tour, which is the only place that you can get your hands on their toe-gazing post punk. Until they (hopefully) blow up and are able to release their music on a label, you can download a short EP of demos here. Two songs are also available below, apparently designed to make you wonder how two people and a drum machine can emerge with such a complete sound within 6 months.
