That's probably why I love the catchy Franz Ferdinand songs so much, and why bands like Target Market are so much fun to hear. This band has the aesthetic and the melodies, all wrapped up in a package of straight-up fun. Well, maybe "fun" isn't the right word; this band has some darkness to their music, too.
This one isn't long, but it's durable. I love that main phrase that opens the song, the flurry of hi-hats, and the fact that the first words Nathan Bernaix sings are, "Use my hands to cover your face." And you'll love how, three hours later from now, this song will be stuck in your head.
These guys are on the Afternoon Records roster, a lineup of bands that gets more impressive by the day."-MUSIC FOR ROBOTS(jan. '07)
"The members of Target Market thank So Many Dynamos in the liner notes of their full-length debut, No Thrills — a nice move, since they're turning just as many heads nationwide as the Dynamos did last year. Influential tastemaking blogs such as productshopnyc.com and music.for-robots .com praised their tunes in recent weeks. But while the local quintet's spring-loaded, danceable rhythms and howling vocals do resemble the Dynamos, the songs on Thrills possess a harder edge. Think the corrugated riffs promulgated by J. Robbins in his various bands, or the atmospheric, experimental angles found on ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead's recent albums. " -Riverfront Times-1.17.07
