Residing somewhere between the confines of rock and pop, American Eyes create self-described neo-goth dance-punk that urges physical movement while remaining lyrically poignant. The Los Angeles band’s debut EP, “Never Trust Anything That Bleeds,” follows the transition of a relationship to its demise. Produced by Michael Patterson (P. Diddy, Notorious B.I.G., Beck), the thematic album kicks off with “Knife Fight with a Girl,” which describes a bitter breakup, and concludes with “Radio,” a spite-filled kiss-off song. Curt Smith of Tears for Fears fame lends his vocals to the sweeping, orchestral ballad, “Day We Died.”
