Scottish post-punk band the Twilight Sad has been at it for quite some time, having released four albums since forming in 2003. With mixed reviews coming down the pipe from well-known music publications, their future was uncertain until an enthusiastic endorsement by Robert Smith of the Cure helped garner the recognition they deserve as skilled songwriters with a worthwhile contribution. Their well-crafted wall of sound, led by James Graham's thick Scottish accent, is likely to stick in your head after a few listens. They are currently on a world tour with the Cure (for whom they open on Saturday), but are also doing several of their own headlining performances. CHRISTINA BROUSSARD
