Neon Neon have released a cool 80s revival album fitting called Stainless Style. The LP has a variety of influences ranging all the way from Duran Duran to Run DMC (with The Cars somewhere in between). As a result, Neon Neon is dually focused on synthetic beat-making and organic instrumentation, which both happen to work well in this instance. You can expect loads of hand claps, sweeping guitar rifts, synth blips, and robot noises-- all of which end up being oddly catchy. Spankrock helped produce a decent portion of Stainless Style, but instead of composing YoYoYoYo's noisy and complicated arrangements, the Baltimore natives use their abilities to help Neon Neon transcend the critique of simply being an 80s cover band. Overall, the blend of styles result in a surprisingly good album that is a homage to the 80s, but also manages to be original enough to stand alone. Standout tracks include '' I Told Her on Alderaan'' and ''I Lust U.''
