    About this Artist

    Editorial Reviews

    Like many Los Angeles modern rock groups of the latter days of the 2000s, the Airborne Toxic Event feel like a self-contained chronicle of all alt rock trends of the past two decades. On their eponymous debut, the group run the gamut from slowly swirling shoegaze, Ian Curtis impressions, and stately strummed guitars to tightly wound Strokes-ian pop and thumping disco-rock, executing them all efficiently. This placidity is most evident on the slower songs. Airborne Toxic Event are better when they lean heavily on the Strokes' persistent pulse, or when they recycle classic alt rock tropes, not quite making them their own, but at least revealing the depth of their good taste. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

    July 26, 2009: Reminds me of the kind of music I listened to in college, glad to hear that sound coming back in a good way!

    May 23, 2009: When I first heard this band on the radio, I tried to figure out who it was. I called the radio station that was playing it but could never get through. One day while I was at Barnes and Noble I heard their song playing overhead and I immediately rushed to the music department to find out who it was. I bought the CD that same day. It's playing in my car all the time and my 4 year old daughter loves it too! It reminds me of the Clash somewhat but more modern maybe.
