It's Friday night. You're in a strange city for a few more hours and you meet someone who knocks you sideways. You know you have to leave in the morning but for a few heady hours you can pretend you're not. Think Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy in Before Sunrise. This is the premise of the glorious three minutes that make up Leaving On The 5th by Voxhaul Broadcast, a band formed on the golden shores of Orange County (yes, I assume they live in a pool house, funded by a mysteriously benevolent family). A mix of sunny surf-rock and pop-production polish, it rattles along with an abandon perfectly suited to its subject matter. It's like Katy Perry with a good tune and a bit of soul. In other words, the perfect song for a Friday afternoon.
