Are you one of those people that decided that Death Cab and the Decemberists aren't worthy of your listening time since they became popular? Are you wishing you could find the next indie version of either band to impress you friends with?
Well, look now further than the Dimes. This Portland four-piece delivers catchy pop songs - nothing more and certainly nothing less - and offer an escape from the hammered synth lines and intimate folk records we are hit with every day. Bands like DCFC and the Decemberists are obvious jump off points for describing the Dimes - especially considering the vocal similarities (in diction, delivery, tone) Johnny Clay shares with Ben Gibbard and the pension for detailed story telling narratives a la Colin Meloy - but you could say that about countless bands these days.
