Phases and Stages

Fairfax

Light These Dreams (Jacket Weather) Pop rock for 12-year-old girls: Death Cab for Cutie, Dashboard Confessional, and other guilty pleasures for the 25-and-up crowd. Fairfax isn't quite The O.C. material just yet, but they're on their way to 101X stardom. With catchy sing-along opener "A Night Like This" gluing itself to the angst-addled brains of the pubescent set, maybe Josh Cochran's über-nasal vox will go unnoticed.
