Today's Song: Bye Bye Disco by New Pants
Yet another of the Chinese rock bands I've downloaded from iTunes recently, New Pants are also one of the bands featured in the documentary Beijing Bubbles. They are an electronic pop rock band, sometimes showing disco influences, sometimes showing punk or new wave (Devo) influences. I didn't like them as much as the other bands I discovered but it's hard to completely dislike them. They're goofy and having fun and doing their own thing regardless of what's popular or cool. They really do kind of remind me of a Chinese Devo in that respect.
Bye Bye Disco is the song I downloaded, which is a pleasant-enough disco-influenced pop song sung in English.
