With a name like Princeton (Myspace), I formulated a vision of a young band from my great homeland of East Coast, New Jersey (Philadelphia Metro Area, naturally), breaking out onto the indie rock scene. And so I was slightly disappointed to find out that my completely baseless guess as to the band's name origin couldn't have possibly been more wrong. Sure enough, twin brothers Jesse and Matt Kivel named their band after the place where they spent most of their childhood. Unfortunately, that place isn't crawling with ivy and preppy college students (or fortunately maybe, depending on your opinion). These boys mean Princeton Street, Santa Monica. As in California. West Coast, Pacific Ocean, sand, sun, surf—all that nonsense. But I'm not going to hold that against them as their first full-length album is pretty damn cool.
