Boyskout
Like a Sleater-Kinney with a gothic sensibility and run by Robert Smith of the Cure, Boyskout move seamlessly between new wave, riot grrl, and post-punk. These four edgy, sultry ladies certainly know how to have a good time and you can't help but want to go with them. They call themselves a "blend of thumping rhythms" and use their formidable talents to create a messy, chaotic machine of moving parts, containing no less than three tangled, district female vocalists, all wailing, cooing, and shouting, over a bevy of angular guitars, throbbing basslines, and out-of-control synths. Enthralling and mesmerizing, Boyskout runs rampant all over the scene, with a dark and focused mind all of their own.

I think the MP3 for Identity is messed up. It has lots of dropouts in the sound that seem unintentional, and don't match up with the clip of the same song in iTunes. Maybe it needs to be re-ripped?

Hmm, I don't hear the problems you're hearing, pinchworm, but I'm re-uploading the file. Hope this works!
