Freshmen 5 Summer 2008: Los Campesinos!

If renaming the members of your band so that they share last names and random punctuation means you’ll end up as talented as Los Campesinos!, there’s going to be a lot of confusion about familial relationships in the coming years. Okay, so they’re indie-pop and into being ironic. But whatever “indie” actually means these days, this band has the independence to keep things polished, the courage to be humorously self-deprecating, and, of course, sincere, incredible music to back it up.
