Beach Day are a surf-rock duo from Hollywood Florida. Kimmy Drake and Skyler Black make up the band, who’s punk influenced sound frequently features electric rock instrumentation, extensive vamping, . Other artists that can be heard on their station include Alabama Shakes, Pixies and Seapony. They came by with musicians Caroline Sands and Daniel Zerbo and played “All My Friends Were Punks” off their album “Native Echoes” available on Kanine Records. Beach Day specializes in a garage-minded breed of girl-group pop. With lots of young acts are reviving it now, but this band’s interpretation is so natural and incandescent that they make it feel completely fresh again. They have all the romantic nostalgia that you want from this fare but with just enough garage grit to be au courant. But their universal virtue is their rare melodic gift. Most of their ilk simply don’t have the stunningly easygoing songwriting instinct that Beach Day does. And that’s the difference. It’s basic but it’s everything. It’s why all their songs sound like singles. Moreover, singer Kimmy Drake has the true voice of a girl-group leading lady, something like a young, white Ronnie Spector raised on punk.”
