Ambulance LTD is a band from New York, so why they remain fairly obscure is beyond me, since it seems like every halfway decent band from the Big Apple gets hyped ad naseum. Maybe it's because they don't have a very engaging live show (I only saw them once, at Coachella, and they were less than riveting) or maybe it's because they don't have a particularly quirky or distinctive sound. But their singer and main songwriter, Marcus Congleton, has a Neil Finn-like knack for writing amazingly catchy, well-crafted guitar pop. All they've released so far (as far as I know) is an album (called "LP") and an EP (called "New English") and there's not a weak song on either one.
