Becoming Different People

Gritty, guitar-driven indie rock from the band's early years. A restless collection of songs defined by raw vocals and a moody, pre-fame urgency.

It's Neon Trees before they were famous, sounding like a moody indie band in a rainy city.

A restless, nocturnal search for identity through jagged guitars and raw, earnest vocals.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sprawling five-minute build of Friendly Fire that sets a much darker tone than their later hits.
The rhythmic, almost mechanical guitar interplay during the bridge of Phones.
The raw, unrefined vocal strain in the final chorus of Tidal Waves.
