Should Steve Jobs do A&R...?

I reviewed the Asteroids' first single for MusicOMH here, but their latest "Around the Bend" ups the ante. It's already getting some buzz from its much-deserved inclusion in a recent iPod commercial. Lead singer Mette Lindberg sounds like a long-lost B-52, purring lines like "I could stay forever" with energy and a healthy dose of grrlish spunk. Complemented by a plucky 80s keyboard riff and a funky bunch of horns, "Around the Bend" follows the tried-and-true iPod formula of catchy, danceable indie-rock in the vein of The Caesar's "Jerk It Out" and the Fratellis' "Flathead" .
