AUTOBAN
Post-punk power trio Autoban combine bundles of guitar-hookery with punchy rhythms, sandpaper vocals and stiletto-sharp lyrics for an altogether danceable experience. Supports to Echo And the Bunnymen and The Young Knives plus a pair of impressive double a-side singles in 2009 signal a bright future for the band.
