Snowden_large

With a name taken from a character in Joseph Heller's grim, satirical novel Catch-22, it's little surprise that Atlanta-based Snowden have a penchant for the morose and sullen. But their dark, nervy guitar pop isn't just gloomy dejection; the band's tense synth lines and brooding vocals recall Interpol and the Walkmen, but can shift from chilly dream-pop to uptempo dance numbers within a beat. Tonight, Snowden hit Subterranean, playing tracks off their 2006 full-length debut, Anti-Anti — and, if we're lucky, their incredible cover of the Zombies' "Time of the Season."
