If you watch Little Green Cars' video for "Harper Lee," you get a sense that this rising Irish five-piece know a thing or two about tumultuous relationships, something that expands well beyond those years when you had braces and permed hair. Just watch their video for “Harper Lee” for further proof and you can see it looks like lead singer Stevie Appleby has taken the phrase crazy in love to the next level. The video opens with Appleby in handcuffs, suggesting that he murdered his so-called love Ms. Lee. Sure, it's an obvious exaggeration of feelings, but not one that's someone burned hasn't considered for a brief moment.

The band's debut album, Absolute Zero, echoes these sentiments throughout, in various ways. It's an album that's quite heavy to swallow upon its first listening, not only because of the raw, enticing lyrics but the way they excel at delivering moody crescendos -- a perfected soundtrack to falling tears. While the whole band harmonizes in a flawless Fleetwood Mac-esque fashion, it's Appleby and guitarist/vocalist Faye O'Rourke's alternating vocals that give their music a fully-realized, vulnerable feeling -- that it's not just dudes whining about lost ladies.

Last month, O'Rourke told Coup De Main their sound is finally a representation of who the band is as a whole. "I mean, there are five different people with very different personalities; we’re nearly like The Breakfast Club in terms of the fact that there’s so many different personalities going on."

You can certainly see this throughout Absolute Zero, as they tend to rely on story-telling, whether it's the anti-love tune "The John Wayne" or unresolved questions one has after a relationship crumbles on "The Consequences of Not Sleeping." Scribbling down relationship scenarios is nothing new in pop music, but Little Green Cars' convey it with such a  their hyper-dramatic passion that's makes them standout -- just like those kids in The Breakfast Club.
