The Streamers make a good bridge between the New York garage punk of the '70s/'80s and the hip garage band scene of today. Rocking out with all the abandon of the rock personalities of yesteryear but fervently holding to the idealism and optimism of today's left leaning bands, The Streamers have an infectious enthusiastic approach to music that will have even the most cynical dancing around the room. Given the fact that lead singer/head songwriter Sean Yoxovic immigrated to New York from war torn Serbia it is easy to grasp where this passion comes from. This Is Not Material World is an album that would sound perfect playing on Little Steven's Underground Garage radio show. It is also important to mention the band's ongoing "Rock Against Landmines" tour that benefits such organizations such as the "Adopt-a-Minefield" foundation.
