Extremely listenable, modern psychedlia from this Australian four-piece. I came across this at the excellent We Are Involved music blog.
Remember when "modern rock" and "alternative" rock were interchangable, and the universe of great well-known bands and songs was endless and diverse. Not anymore (check Billboard Modern rock charts for proof). However, if you like melodic modern rock, here are some new & old tracks you may have never heard. Or maybe you have. But if this blog introduces only one person to even one great song they've never heard before, it will have served it's purpose.

V.A.S.T. "Touched" and "Flames" (1998)
VAST stands for Visual Audio Sensory Theatre, an Austin based collaborative led by multi-instrumentalist Jon Crosby, who came onto the scene in 1998 with a highly regarded debut. Two standout tracks are featured here. The former got some play on modern rock radio, while the latter, with it's haunting violin, is as dark as a love song can get.
Ra Ra Riot "Boy" (2010)
A recent indie rock hit from this Syracuse NY band, who have created a lot of buzz with their great live performances.
