Lunatic

This Arizona band—comprising the four sons of '70s South African singer/songwriter John Kongos—play an uproarious, densely rhythmic brand of alt-rock accented by accordions, drum circle freakouts, and group vocals. "Sex on the Radio" has an African highlife groove that morphs into an epic chorus befitting The Strokes. "As We Are" is an uplifting slow jam that evokes Coldplay.
