Mark my words: Pittsburgh’s 1,2,3 are going places. Big, important and awesome places, even. I’ve only listened to three tracks from these fellers, but I’m already getting that sick feeling in my stomach that I got when I first heard Free Energy, Chiddy Bang and Freelance Whales.

1,2,3 released their stellar debut 7″ single earlier this month on Ohh La La Records, which featured the sugary and infectious A-Side “Confetti” and the gritty, dirty, raw and (far) superior B-Side “Can’t Bride God”. With borrowed nostalgia and authenticity abound, a trend growing rampant in this climate, 1,2,3 sound completely original and interesting. We should all look forward to hearing more from these gentlemen in the coming weeks or months. Download “Confetti” below and stream “Can’t Bribe God”:

Definitely liking what I hear. (Even the “fucker…” when he messed up)
