The 80s are a hard habit to break, and Utah’s Neon Trees are smart enough to latch on to our weakness. A cross between a less-pretentious The Killers and a less-Eurotrashy Tokio Hotel, the band have, in fact, supported The Killers on tour, and the similarities are immediate. The diff is that Neon Trees’ electro rock pop is catchy to a fault; as much as Tyler Glenn emotes on the 10 songs, one is more likely to bop along too happily to pay the band’s deeper intentions any proper attention.
