“Since their formal debut in 2017, the band has found quite a global following through their earnest spin on surf rock. Their new single “At The End of The Road,” premiering today on The FADER, is (at least upon first listen) a particularly chipper addition to that catalog. But beneath that candy-lacquered surface lies a bleak acknowledgement of humanity’s blatant disregard for the environment.” At The End Of The Road is out March 8th via Damnably / Electric Muse. Listen to the title track HERE
“We first heard Chicago artist Meredith Johnston’s unique twist on electronic pop earlier this month with “Down,” which successfully applied a frigid electronic fringe to earthy folk-rock balladry. “Y U” continues to expand her sonic universe, transplanting a reggaeton rhythm into an eerie experimental pop track.” Watch HERE
“Today we’re premiering the accompanying visual for her new single “Y U” off her debut album, Ghastly, and the message could not be clearer: “Why you always lookin’ at your phone instead of me?” Ghastly is out March 8th- Watch the video HERE!
The skate-infused rock tonic swirled up by the band’s three members — MJ, Meena, and Bondu — is grittier and spunkier than the carefully choreographed movements of BTS; stylistically, DBGC hew more closely to American pop-punk institutions of Blink-182 and Sum 41 (and in their multiple songwriters and singers, even the legendary Minutemen).

“The trio arrives at their debut LP after releasing a handful of EPs and singles and touring extensively since 2013 (supporting the likes of Mikal Cronin and The Fresh & Onlys). Songs on Never Give Up confront challenges both personal and political with raucous rhythms, playful harmonies, and heaps of distortion.“ Listen HERE
“The latest track to come ahead of forthcoming debut ‘Never Let Go’ (released 15th February), it’s a track that proves you don’t always need to throw too much shit at the wall to get something to stick.“ Listen HERE
ZAM is out on March 1 via New York City’s Greenway Records. Hear their new single, “Realization” HERE ““Realization” is the kind of super-charged garage track that requires a loss of inhibition to appreciate, but once its frantic zip finds a home in your brain, you’ll let it stay for as long as it wants.“
From Chicago-based producer and composer Meredith Johnston’s upcoming record, Ghastly - out March 8th! “Johnston’s sound has been previously described as “sludge pop.” At times, the cinematic strings add extra gravity to the already sinking melody, but this seems intentional as her vocals ooze with desperate yet resigned feelings about the moment.” Watch the video HERE
