Steered by the smashing Pulp-meets-Pumpkins roar of "Dive," NYC based Night Kills The Day's debut album "The Study of Man..." has a chameleon-like magic. Produced by the band and New York legend Joe Blaney - who holds The Clash's Combat Rock and discs by The Beastie Boys, The Ramones and Keith Richards to his credit - songs like the infectious, coke-addled soul-searching of "Meaning" or the atmospheric, anthemic disc-opener "After Hours" portray the collective vision of NKD. Evoking everything from The Cure and Interpol to Pink Floyd and Jane's Addiction, the band's sound goes well beyond the confines of modern rock.
