\nReview: <\/strong>
\nLemuria is a newer band that plays power-pop or pop-punk in a way that sounds like a less aggressive version of Discount, with catchy hooks, male\/female vocals, and personal lyrics that, at times, border on the melodramatic.\u00c2\u00a0 Kind of Like Spitting features members of Death Cab for Cutie and The Thermals.\u00c2\u00a0 The songs are less polished than the former but more musically ambling than the latter.\u00c2\u00a0 Their sound reminds me a bit of The Dismemberment Plan if they had made more lo-fi recordings with less dynamic songs but with more present lead guitar parts.<\/p>\n
