Honey Ryder - Numb



I'm trying to figure out if I like this song. It's certainly catchy, and the band name is a clear reference to Honey Rider from Dr. No. Both of these things work in their favor. Frankly, I just have an illogical fear that all these female fronted hard rock bands are Christian rock bands. I mean Evanescence, Flyleaf, and Paramore all turned out to be Christian. Why is that? In all honesty, I'm not really sure why I was ever into Evanescence, because on further inspection, they totally sucked. Anyways, it's kind of a cool video, and she's very attractive in a refreshing sort of way. Here's their MySpace page. They remind me of late 90's alt-rock, and that's a very good thing. I've frequently said that I can't wait until the 90's become the new 80's, because I still haven't gotten over the previous decade. I will be the guy at the party that actually knows all the songs! Matt Yglesias has written frequently about the coming 90's rock renaissance and how awesome it's going to be (I'm to lazy/busy with work to look for a link, but he has mentioned it).
