A bit of a break from the Halloweeny horror and spooks today with our latest New Music Monday track for you to check out. Hailing from DC, where a rich history of punk and post-punk music paints a fantastic musical backdrop, The Slang delivers indie rock no too dissimilar from the like of Jimmy Eat World or Death Cab for Cutie. Their brand of post-punk inspired indie rock demonstrates pop sensibilities and an understanding of their influences. Watch for these guys as they continue to grow, but for now enjoy this music video and check them out at theslang.com. Their new EP, Desperate Times, is available all at Spotify, Amazon, and iTunes, as well.
So, if you need a break from your month of horror films and music for something a bit less creepy, instead of asking “Is It Safe?” ask “Is It Any?”
Justin has been running websites since his first Geocities site in 1994, but only did he ever start covering anything of substance years later. After he stopped regularly running local concerts in Northern NJ and the greater Philly area, he knew he needed to step up his writing game if he expected to continue to get free music to listen to. He writes regularly here and at Cinapse, as well as contributing to a few other sites on occasion. He likes music, film, the Philadelphia Eagles, the 76ers, talking about Criminal Justice, reading Intelligence Report, and his family... not in that order. His beautiful wife is far more talented than he is and his kids far more adorable... and crazy.
