EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Afghan Raiders - Admiral's Doorbell + The Faint - Mirror Error (Afghan Raiders remix)

While neu rave poster boys Digitalism and Klaxons dropped out of site to record their sophomore efforts, a new, less Euro-centric crowd is claiming chunks of their territory. Among them are relative newcomers Afghan Raiders, a Las Vegas-based duo whose vision for rock-tinged techno has serious pop appeal. That their second single,"Admiral's Doorbell," arrives nearly a year after their first speaks to the group's focus on quality over quantity, and it pays off in spades. Their distorted beats galvanize a catchy harmonized chorus for setting off sweaty audiences, whether they're in a club or at a basement show. Afghan Raider's songwriting prowess has not gone unnoticed as proven by their remix of The Faint's "Mirror Error." Attuned to The Faint's aesthetic, the pair punches up the tension while recalling Fischerspooner's pop electro approach. If Digitalism and Klaxons leave the throne empty for too long they might find Afghan Raiders in their seats.

Sounds like: Fischerspooner, Digitalism with higher octane fuel
