We thought that Superchunk's "Detroit Has A Skyline" would be one of the last songs to go--and that it would take a particularly rocking band to do it justice. Of the final three songs, it made perfect sense for New York's Cymbals Eat Guitars, who stopped by the office the day before playing a blistering set at Lollapalooza. The band's debut, Why There Are Mountains, came out last year, and it's a raucous collision of Built To Spill, Modest Mouse, and even Cap'n Jazz. Most of those acts were rocking while the CEG guys were still in school; they're still in their early 20s. Cymbals' performance was easily the loudest Undercover yet; thankfully most of our neighbors had gone home when they stopped by.

It's like Superchunk by way of a less talented Dinosaur Jr.

Not too bad, but the cover was a lot of noise.

This is surprisingly good. Not a huge CEG fan (though I do love Superchunk) but this is a great cover. The hoarse voice is a nice take on Mac's admittedly squeaky vox

They sound more like 764-hero.
