Suburban Tragedy
Lies, Lust, and Luxury Album Spotlight
Words: James Ferreira

With their latest release, the Palm Harbor based power-pop alternative five-piece Suburban Tragedy is showing some signs of life. The album features thoughtful insights dealing with the complicated nature of human relationships. The CD is well-produced and it is clear that this band has spent a great deal of time honing their craft. What the disc lacks in variety and originality, it more than makes up for with a genuine sense of feeling, not present on a great deal of similar offerings from other bands in the genre, both nationally and in Florida.

Ideas are bulletproof, and it’s obvious that a great deal of focus went into crafting Lies, Lust and Luxury. Perhaps best known for their appearances at the Next Big Thing music showcase and composing the theme song (“Wake Up”) for 97X’s Fischer and Boy morning show, Suburban Tragedy clearly has bigger plans on the horizon. The band is currently signed to Indegoot Entertainment, but as with their previous records this album has been independently released.
