Currently, yeah, possibly; could be, could be. Although you could, if pressed, describe them as power-pop.
I refer of course to The Tearaways, fueled by the incredible drumming of Blondie's Clem Burke, aka the second coming of Keith Moon. And who will be, you should pardon the expression, tearing it up on a tour of England starting this Wednesday, despite the sudden death of their bass player and manager John Ferriter. (Friend of PowerPop Marc Platt, formerly of The Real Impossibles, has stepped into the tragic breach.)
On a happier note, here's the band's latest video, to give you an idea of what they're about.
Incidentally, that was produced by Ron (Archies/Pat Benatar/Barry Manilow) Dante, who you may recall as the voice of "Sugar, Sugar," so these guys pop/rock credentials are obviously pretty impressive.
More news on the English shows as they develop.

Could we have the second best of something featured this week?
I'd settle for that! Less pressure on my ears and soul.
Also Clem Burke is good but not that good!
