Like their name, Neon Trees are a combination of slick pop hooks and sturdy organic rock, both melodic and hard-hitting, their anthems of adolescent angst, longing, love lost and found, delivered with the kind of heart-on-the-sleeve passion that only comes from hard work and commitment.

Take the hook-happy "80s new wave of the Smiths, Depeche Mode, the Cure and U2, add to it the classic-rock story-telling humanity of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Bryan Adams and leaven with the other-worldly charisma of Michael Jackson, and you begin to understand the palette Neon Trees are working from.

Their debut album "Habits' reached No.1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Album Charts. Catch Neon Trees act on the Sunday of Oxegen at Heineken Green Spheres.
