I learned about Strange Passage’s Palace Behind the Shade from a Rosy Overdrive blog post that also mentioned Hüsker Dü and maybe that’s why that comparison keeps popping up in my hand. Just like the Hüskers did, this Boston-New York band shows that punk is really just an extension of pop. I like this song in particular, for the pace it manages keep throughout and that then reminded me of Joe Cusumaro whom I wrote about a few weeks ago and whom I also discovered through Rosy Overdrive.
