Paying a helluva lot of debt to Primal Scream, Blonde Acid Cult are a New York rock band that have marked a great 2008 so far by reeling in some bubbling reviews at this year's CMJ Marathon. Witty and outspoken in interviews, they ply a sound that's essentially a reincarnation of a number of 90's British rock bands, helped by a lead singer similar in both looks and brashness to the Scream's Bobby Gillespie. Described by the NME as the "the most exciting band to come out of NY in 5 years", they're worth checking out live and online, but by no means match up to that tag yet.
