"Panic Switch," which is not entirely a cover of Smashing Punkins' "I Am One" (hey, it's cool with me, both songs rule) sits at Number 6 on the Modern Rock radio chart. Well done, boys and girl. I was utterly obsessed with Carnavas when it came out a few years ago, providing an escapist soundtrack to accompany the worst professional job I've ever had, worst relationship I suckered myself into and an endlessly terrible living situation. While I've yet to find a "Common Reactor" on the new album, I haven't written it off yet and need to dive back into it. I filmly believe this band is brilliant, and their show at the Middle East Up the day before I started at the Herald remains a personal concert highlight.
Sadly, the closest they're coming to Boston in the immediate future is Aug. 2, when they do the All Points West fest down in Dirty Jerz.
