Stream Fight Fair from Dream Version

Leave a comment

Monday’s are always the hardest days for many of us, so why not kick things off by listening to Fight Fair, the brand new LP from Dream Version. The Chicago outfit touches on all sorts of influences, and in doing so, they capture your musical hearts. Just look at the first three tunes for diversity; “I Wanna Be Angry” is clean garage fueled power-pop; “Fight Fair” is bouncy no-punk; “I’m Still as Spoiled as the Day I Was Born” is this weirdo synth-driven blend of Violent Femmes and Talking Heads. That’s just the first three songs, so imagine what lays in wait for you! Go ahead, listen.

Guitar rock is alive and well in Chicago, with several acts breaking out like Ne-Hi. But, I don’t think I’ve heard a band take the same approach that Dream Version is pushing through your speakers. The riffs are pretty jagged/angular, knifing their way through the mix while synthesizers fade in and out of the background. It almost gives the song a bounce or an added-step, elevating the group beyond your standard fare of modern indie heroes. It’s almost punk rock, but its definitely cool, so I’ll give it my meaningless seal of approval. Look for their sophomore LP, Fight Fair, on July 7th.
