This young, electrifying Chicago band reached the top of its late-'00s live-tronica class thanks in part to its creative covers (e.g. Arcade Fire's "Rebellion (Lies)" and Royksopp's "Remind Me"), but mostly due to explosive performances. 2006's <i>Sugar Coated Bullets</i>, FR's debut album, introduced the group's synth-heavy grooves to a diverse audience, from jam rock fans to electronica junkies. One year later, <i>Gears</i> refined that sound, scaling back the synth experimentation for more songs with more structure. Studio albums aside, though, Future Rock thrive in the present moment and a live performance is the best way to experience the "sound of tomorrow." - Casey LowdermilkJam Rocken720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:36:20 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.15526351&rws=%2Ffuture-rock%2Ftop-tracks.rss For the members of Future Rock, the ingredients for what the band calls "tomorrow's sound" read something like this: catchy beats, creative covers and, of course, constant touring.
