These Windy City bros aren’t just a great power pop band, they’re one of the best rock bands going, period. They work in a bit more layered jangle and production ambition than most on this list, but not so much that it strangles the pals-on-a-summer-road trip vibe that takes them from Beach Boys vistas to dive bar bathrooms.
Our last run was an awesome tour of Europe where we returned to Madrid and stopped in Barcelona for the first time in Spain played a truly joyous sold out show in Paris, where we also performed live on the French TV show Album De La Semaine, had a blast running around the UK, Almost collapsed in Bristol and played a massive London show at Scala, hit a beautifully intimate gig in Brussels for the first time and finally wrapped up with a great run around the Netherlands.
Last but certainly not least, maybe number one, The last leg of 2016 “DOWN IN HEAVEN” tour. We’re looking at going to, Detroit, Cleveland, Toronto, Burlington, Portland (ME), Cambridge, Philly, New York, Richmond, Atlanta, Nashville!. We’re adding a couple treats into the set. And we wrap up in Chicago with all our wonderful brothers and sisters of the windy city.
A limited-edition peach vinyl re-pressing of Down In Heaven will be available in record shops early next year. But, if you come party with us now you won’t have to wait cause we’ll have them on the road! This is what they look like. But you know they’ll look even better on your record player. When it comes to the catchiest songs of this year, Twin Peaks “Walk To The One You Love” is easily high on the list. The opening track to their third album Down In Heaven is effortlessly buoyant and made to stick around. Vibrantly-textured production and bold arrangements bolster other album highlights including “Holding Roses” and “You Don’t,” two not quite-carefree odes to love that isn’t all that romantic.
