Honda, meet Noise Pop

As reported by Paste Magazine (and as seen during commercial breaks of your favorite CW shows), Honda has a new commercial for the 2011 CR-Z Sport Hybrid, featuring the song Riot Rhythm by the Sleigh Bells.  ”Complete opposites in complete harmony,” says the narrator.  I don’t know if I’d apply the phrase “complete harmony” to the bizarre (but annoyingly addicting) music of the Sleigh Bells, who classify themselves as “Noise Pop,” but the airy, etherial voice of Alexis Krauss combined with the hardcore guitar stylings of former Poison and the Well member Derek Miller definitely work as complete opposites. And, it somehow works in the commercial.  You’re welcome.

(Oh, and if you want to hear the whole song, click here to listen… The whole album is on youtube, but if you start, consider your mind taken over for at least the next 24 hours).
