Introducing The Birthdays

Towards the end of last week, an announcement came out sharing news of a new musical project called The Birthdays featuring indie greats Jackson Phillips from Day Wave and Ben Grey from Dear Boy. As they are both ever growing stars in the indie scene, one would expect a collaboration to produce some interesting material, and their first single together, “Bunny”, does not disappoint. It has a very washed out, guitar pop vibe to it with a super slick bass line and tonally engaging guitars. Hopefully this is not the last we hear from this new project.

Airy Indie Rock From Dear Boy

Sometimes, all you really need is a bombastic indie track to kick you through the day. Today, that kick comes to you from Dear Boy, out of LA. The song below, Local Flowers is pretty much your textbook indie rock jam, and it immediately grabs you with its streamlined, radio ready, sound. Its also got a touch of shoe gaze in the way the guitars sort of float at the top of the mix, creating an airy sound. Theyve got an EP coming out this spring with a few more tracks for you to relish, but for now, you can jam the track below.
