Pure Ecstasy?

Besides having one of the worst band names I've heard this year, this band also has one of the best songs I've heard thus far. Austin-based Pure Ecstasy show promise scattered throughout their EP's, and this brand of fuzzed-out, easy to label, chill wave rock is quite enjoyable if I do say so myself. Bad band names be damned. My last favorite band obsession was named Dr. Dog for crying out loud. Okay, so Pure Ecstasy isn't so bad. But when I see that name, I just envision the picked over cassette bin at a local Goodwill, complete with lots of lightning bolt typesetting and glittery outfits....
