The Myrmidons

Basically, they are one half of Book Of Love (Ted Ottaviano & Lauren Johnson) and their newest musical soulmate, Lori Lindsay. So imagine this: take Book Of Love's happy melodies, keyboards and cutesy chimes & xylophones, add Lori's Jack-White-style, fuzzed-out guitar, and you get a pop band with an alternative twist.
