HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Dear And The Headlights

On last year’s Drunk Like Bible Times, Arizona’s Dear And The Headlights play the type of whining, trembling, sub-Bright Eyes indie pop that makes fans of heart-on-sleeve emo sigh audibly (and everyone else sigh with exasperation). Luckily the band puts on a live show that’s considerably more muscle-bound than its weak-kneed name suggests, building crescendos of keyboards, strings, and crashing drums into an appreciably manic mess.
